I resisted buying a Forrest blade due to cost. Then I saw (pun intended) a great sale on amazon and went for it. Best blade I've ever used. Crosscuts are smooth as glass, rip cuts are a dream. Just make sure your table saw blade is parallel to the fence and the miter gauge. This blade has cut everything I've thrown at it flawlessly; hardwood, veneers, A1 plywood, melamine, you name it, and it excels at it. Watch amazon.com for blade sales, well worth it.
