Tools and Hardware Reviews of Forrest WW10407125 Woodworker II 10-Inch 40 Tooth ATB .125 Kerf Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor
Customer Review: One great saw blade
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the Forrest Woodworker II saw blade now for over 1 year, and I can say it is the best blade I have ever owned. Furthermore, I would never use anything else from now on for routine crosscuts, and ripping. If you have never used this blade, you don't know what you have been missing.Customer Review: Great blade. Cuts very clean.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really nice table saw blade. It cross cuts and rips very cleanly. I do get some slight burning but I think it's my technique, not the blade.Customer Review: Great Company, Great Products
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a full-time professional woodworker, specializing (for the moment) in smaller furniture items like Jewelry Boxes, End Tables, etc., but I have also produced large, high-end products such as Sideboards Hutches to match. I don't claim to be a master - any time I get a big head I only need look at the Thos. Moser catalog to realize that even after 20 years I've still got a lifetime of learning ahead. My point is that the work I do looks - and sells - a whole lot better if the cuts match up as close to perfectly as the eye can detect, and the Forrest Woodworker II - along with every other Forrest product I own, is the best tool I've found to produce such cuts, repeatedly, without constant tuning or resharpening. Also, the folks at Forrest offer a resharpening (and re-balancing, if necessary,) service far superior to any other I've ever found, and they will sharpen/balance even my blades from OTHER MANUFACTURERS in the same 'special' way they sharpen their own, vastly improving, in my opinion, the quality of cut produced by these blades. If I could only afford one woodcutting blade for my 10-inch saw, it would be this one, the thicker of the two 40-tooth blades in the Woodworker II line. If this blade is too pricey for you, I'd strongly suggest buying the best blade you CAN afford, and shipping it to Forrest for resharpening as soon as it starts to cut imperfectly. One of the great things about the Forrest resharpening service is that they give you the option of having the blade tested for optimum balance, and then they will hand-tension, straighten and balance it ONLY if the blade needs it, and in my experience they are honest about when this service is actually required. These folks, in my opinion, are about the best blademakers out there. What more can I say?Customer Review: The Best Available

My woodworker husband loves these blades; we buy at least one a year so he has them on hand for projects. Amazon's service and price can't be beaten!Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading the reviews and waiting for the right project, I was disappointed in the way the Woodworker II blade burned Brazilian Cherry from the very first cut. Thinking there might be something wrong with this particular blade, I purchased a second one at a local woodworkers' store. The result was the same. My Freud blades performed better but were both dull by the time we unveiled the new stairs and railing. I saved hours of sanding by giving up on the Woodworker II. It may be the best blade in the world for certain applications. If you have one of those, buy it. If you want to rip hard woods that burn easily, consider an alternative.
