Freud’s LU97R010 triple-chip grind blade has a 10 in. 80-tooth configuration is designed to cut plywood and/or laminates and melamine with little if any tearout/chipout. It cuts considerably cleaner than the combination/general purpose blades and sells for $95.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Milwaukee M12 23-Gauge Cordless Pin Nailer
This tool is designed for convenience. The battery and pins are easy to load, and the safety lock operates with the same finger you use to pull the trigger. The depth of set is adjustable, there’s a work light, and there’s a hook for hanging the tool on your toolbelt. A gauge lets you keep track of when you’ll need to recharge.
The clear winner here is Festool’s CT 48 Dust Extractor. It has amazing capacity relative to its size, and unmatched suction power. It packs in a number of subtle but very helpful design touches, like a clever foot brake and easy hose and cord storage.
