   FWW a couple of issues ago.  Generally speaking, price = quality.  My experience is that anything for a table saw under $30 makes a real good fire wood blade.  Carbide if you're going to cut up oak pallets.

   Dave,

   Oldahm manufactures two distinct product lines, one being "low end" the other being their industrial line, which by the way, is a top notch line....

   Dano,

   Why of course Oldham makes nop notch blades - they're manufactured by US Saw, which happens to make many/most of the industrial wood blades out there.

   I agree with staying away from "bottom of the line", but don't hesitate on their other blades.  Unfortunately, many folks on this forum have been hoodwinked into thinking the only really good blade out there is made by Forrest.

   Any good blade, properly sharpened, is going to cut superbly.

   True. 

   Used their "low end" blades daily back in my framing days...

   Tell us what kind of blade you want, and you'll get 100 posts on which one is best. So far I'm sold on FS Tool and Jesada. Systematic is pretty decent as well. I used to be able to get them from a sharpening shop when they clearanced out their last years inventory. Bargain central. You can check out http://www.jesada.com and if you get on their email list sometimes they have good deals they advertise that route.
