You've GOT to see this! Read the two reviews! Watch the two videos! I still find it hard to believe! In my area, Rockler has a special 20% off any one item... and this qualifies! I am very tempted to try it!
Revolutionary Micro Kerf Blade, Cuts as Thin as a Dime!
What do you think?! |

=======================
Yesterday:I got an email from Rocklers with their 20% off any one item, etc. I saw the item in their products… I called my store to find out if it was eligible for the 20% OFF! YES! IT WAS!! He verified it to be sure… I went down there and BOUGHT one! $140 before sales tax! It really looks COOL… I have not had a chance to put it into the saw yet… Hopefully tomorrow I will cut some wood with it… If it cuts like the demo Video on the Rockler site, IT IS A WINNER! Up to this time, I thought the WW II was the best since sliced bread… I think it will fall to second best. Revolutionary Micro Kerf Blade, Cuts as Thin as a Dime! I’ll let you know how it works for me! I’m excited! Feel like a kid again!  =======================
Today:Well, I installed the blade and made a few cuts... rip & crosscut. 3/4" and 2"... ... I made a ZC board too. I did not notice a huge difference in Noise or the cutting surface smoothness... I think the WWII had the edge on the smoothness as glass-like vs just good and smooth of the new blade. The biggest difference I noticed was the cutting resistance... It was MUCH MORE easy to push the wood through the cut... it was really like cutting through butter... Especially when cutting 2" walnut... there was NO indication of any more load on the motor... it cut everything very effortless and smoothly. And, of course, seeing a much smaller kerf is different producing less sawdust and saving wood. Tearout was NONE... no matter what I cut... which was the same with the WWII. I have mixed feelings as to whether it's worth the high price.

I ended up returning this blade because the quality of the cuts started to get worse as I used it... Was GREAT at first...
I was told to monkey around with my table saw, etc., etc.
I felt, for that kind of money, I'm NOT to play a bunch of games to make it work... it either works NOW or it doesn't...
My Forest WW II has never given me any problems... the way I like it... & it's quality is still top notch...
Rockler doesn't carry them anymore... Sorry, I should have posted the Name of them instead of just a Link! It was not colored... looked like a WW II but it had a 1/16" kerf. Made by a foreign group of brothers who designed & made them...
