Forrest CM08H606100 Chopmaster 8-1/2-Inch 60 Tooth ATB Miter Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor

by Forrest

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Forrest's blades offer a superior cut that leaves a rip-cut saw edge that is as smooth as if it had been sanded, and a cross-cut edge that is almost mark-free. The blades run very quietly, and backside tearout in plywood is negligible. Each blade is virtually hand-made. The plate is hand-tensioned (up to 15 minutes per blade), superior C-4 carbide teeth are hand-brazed to the plate, and the blade is straightened and restraightened multiple times throughout the process. Think of a Forrest blade as a tool in your shop, not an accessory. Forrest stands behind it's blades by offering a sharpening service that bring blades back to the exact tolerances offered in a new blade. And this same exacting service is available for other manufacturer's blades as well, so they should come back better than new. Forrest Miter Master blades work with all makes of double or single miter saws. These professional quality miter saw blades produce tight, perfectly cut miter joints with no bottom splinters. These saw blades are specially designed to cut extruded profiles, bars, and plate stock.

Product Description

For chop saws and radial arm saws. These top-quality miter saw blades produce perfectly cut miter joints. Made with double-hard C-4 submicron carbide for up to 300% longer life. A heavier than normal steel plate and a negative face hook maintain maximum stability for the best cut. Each blade is hand-straightened to a runout of .001/.002 for maximum cut quality. The tooth style (4 points and a flat) maximizes steady, clean cuts with no bottom splintering. You will be amazed by the extra-smooth, tight cuts you will get with this blade.

After using my Ryobi blade for quite sometime on my compound miter saw... I was amazed. The crosscut in Maple actually had a shine to it, it was so smooth.

I purchased this to use on my 1954 radial arm saw and it cuts so clean I was literally speechless. I am pretty new to woodworking and was advised not to skimp on blades. These are very pricy and the competition seemes to be creeping up on them but the cut on this blade is better than and Freud blade I have used (I have 2)Forrest CM08Q606100 Chopmaster 8-1/4-Inch 60 Tooth ATB Miter Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor

The best upgrade for your chopsaw. Clean, precise cuts, no blade deflection, long lasting. Have tried many different varieties of blades trying to save a bit of money, but always go back to the Chopmaster. They resharpen often and relatively inexpensively. First rate goods!!!
