10 Best Table Saw Blade Reviews 2020: Which One Is Right For You?

1. Forrest Woodworker II

This product landed in our top spot because so many customers refer to it as the Cadillac of saw blades. It has a standard 10-inch size that works with most tables from different manufacturers and comes with 40 individual teeth around the sides. The 30-degree angle of those ATB teeth help it reach a full stop when you turn off the power.

Designed to reduce the splintering that can sometimes occur, the Woodworker II also reduces the jump that can occur when moving wood because you can more easily feed boards across it. It has a kerf design that helps prevent wood loss too.

2. Forrest Woodworker II with 15-Degree ATB

Though similar to our number one choice, this Woodworker II has ATB teeth at a 15-degree angle rather than a 30-degree angle, which may be a little too short or low for your needs. It still helps reduce the amount of wood that you waste by up to 20% and comes with individual teeth that prevent splintering. Some found that it’s so thick that it may not work with their tables and that it makes their wood burn.

This one reduces splintering when making radial cuts and helps prevent top splintering when using plywood and thinner boards. It also gives you more control when pushing and pulling boards across the spinning blade.

3. Freud 40-Tooth General Purpose

Whether cutting flooring for your home or wood for a project, this Freud option is a good choice because it is effective when used with different types of woods as well as laminates. It cuts through that wood smoothly and cleanly, but it can leave behind burn marks on certain types of wood. The 40 individual teeth around the edges provide smooth cuts without splintering the wood.

Freud used lasers to cut each of those teeth, which makes the sides smoother and keep the teeth from clinging to the wood. It also comes with a surface coating that keeps sawdust from building up on the surface and makes it resistant to rust.

4. Freud 80-Tooth Ultimate

This model comes with the same coating as the last model, which makes it resistant to rust and keeps build up from impacting its strength and finish. It has twice as many teeth on it though, and those 80 teeth provide the smooth and clean cuts that you want without chipping or splintering. Those ATB teeth can break off or wear down when you use this one with harder materials.

Designed for cutting laminates and woods, this product works on marine-grade products and on veneers too. Made from a high-density carbide material, this model is stronger than others and will last longer.

5. DEWALT Series 20 10-Inch

Finer and thinner than other similar products, this model from DEWALT comes in a standard 10-inch size and includes two models of the same size in each package. The manufacturer used computers to create the perfect balance to each one, which allows for the smooth cuts that you want. Each one features 60 individual teeth evenly spaced around the edges.

Those teeth have a unique wedge shoulder design that provides a small shoulder behind each teeth. This puts more power behind those teeth when cutting and creates finished cuts that are smoother with less splintering and chipping along the edges.

6. Overpeak 80-Tooth ATB

The bright blue finish of this Overpeak model reduces the risk of accidents because it lets you keep a clear eye on the spinning metal as you cut. There are some complaints from people about the blue paint rubbing off on wood boards, but you can usually just wipe off that paint with your hand. It works effectively on most types of boards and can handle those already painted or stained.

Each of the 80 teeth on this model have a sharp point that you can sharpen later. Those teeth grip to the wood to create a smoother and more even cut surface.

7. HICO 40-Tooth ATB

While other products run so loudly that you cannot hear yourself think, this HICO model has built-in vents that absorb some of those noises to help it run quieter and more smoothly. Those vents also help it run at a lower temperature, which keeps it from overheating. As it has a standard 5/8-inch arbor, this one will work with most tables.

The high-density carbide used in its construction gets a boost from some titanium that makes it even stronger. It works well on most forms of hardwood as well as some softer woods and can work on plywood and chip board too.

8. Overpeak for Hard and Soft Woods

This Overpeak product is part of its Construction line, which professionals can use for all their cutting needs. It features 80 sharp teeth that you can sharpen on your own to make it last longer. Those teeth have a sharp point that moves through wood without breaking or chipping that wood, and you can use this model on both harder and softer varieties of wood, including plywood, chip board, maple and pine.

Though this model is quite sharp, it doesn’t quite measure the 10 inches listed by the manufacturer. It may leave behind a small gap that you need to take care of when using it in your table.

9. IRWIN Tools Classic Series Steel

For grinding and other types of woodworking applications, this model from IRWIN Tools performs better than others. It has a solid plate in the center that extends out to the sides, which will last longer, but it also has 180 individual teeth that are sharp to the touch. Though those teeth can break off, regular maintenance will prevent that from happening.

The teeth on this product are precision ground, which ensures that each one is the same size and just as sharp as the next. We also like this one because its low price makes it an affordable option for any woodworker.
