>this is a standard skill saw size. I use them on my ten inch table saw regularly. If you want a permium blade I have found the CMT and Tenryu to be well made and sharpened compared to the disposable blades in this size.

>Hi Earl,

For an over the counter blade, I like the Diablo. I have used them to break down lots of plywood, including the thin-skinned oak that you buy at the big box stores. It is particularly prone to chipping when cutting across the grain, so a little masking tape on the top side helps with that if you are using a circular saw.

>Ditto's on the Diablo. I have a one in my saw that I have used to cut Hardie Plank, bad spots out of roofs, including cutting through nails. Today, I was cutting five V roofing with it. Oh yeah, I cut replacement lumber with it also. Was fixing a leaking roof.
