Ridge Carbide TS2000 10x40T Saw Blade Rip & Crosscut, 1/8 Full Kerf or 3/32
Thin Kerf
While no single blade is perfect for every
job, the American-made TS2000 is among the best all-around table saw
blades on the market look at any combination blade comparison test in the
past 20 years and the TS2000 will be at the top, most recently earning "Best Overall" honors from Fine Woodworking Magazine (March/April 2018). This is the blade we relied
upon for years to demonstrate the incredible accuracy of INCRA Table Saw
Systems at woodworking shows.
Full kerf or thin kerf? The thin kerf version is a great choice for
rip cuts in thicker lumber or when using a less powerful table saw. The full kerf version has a stiffer body that
improves accuracy for miter cuts, plus the 1/8 kerf simplifies the math for
cutting rabbets & grooves.
Some of the TS2000s great features:
Sharper blades work better! Most blades are ground to 400 grit, but Ridge Carbide finishes the tops and faces of the teeth with 1,200 grit diamond wheels. The tips literally gleam!
The
full kerf version is exactly 1/8 wide, so its easy to get
precisely-sized narrow parts off the left side of the blade edge
banding, splines, inlay stock, etc. it also simplifies the math for
cutting grooves and joinery.
Every
fifth tooth is a flat top raker, so it cuts a nearly flat-bottomed
groove. This feature makes it great
for slotting operations and table saw-based joinery like tenons, half-lap
joints, and two-kerf rabbets.
Extra-thick C-4 carbide tips let you sharpen
the TS2000 20-25 times, giving these blades a life expectancy of 10 to 20 years
in a typical home shop.
Fantastic value: Youll spend $300 in sharpening costs over
the life of ANY blade, so why give up performance by spending less on the blade
up front?
If youve been spending $60 $70 on
mass-market blades of different colors, treat yourself to a premium blade. Instead of gimmicks like low-friction paint
and vibration reducing gizmos, your money buys you top-shelf materials, razor
sharpness, and tight manufacturing tolerances.
