I have a DIY project coming up and will be ripping 1/2" and 1" stock, along with the occasional 2x4, or plywood (Both cabinet grade or regular). I have a Freud Diablo D1060X blade on but the last few times I used the saw I felt like I had to push the stock through vs my 24 tooth blade that gracefully feeds the stock though. Is this because the D1060X is more of a cross cutting blade? Reviews on the web said it was a great ripping saw also, but I'm thinking I may need fewer teeth to get that that smoother ripping motion.
Does it make sense to get another 24 tooth blade for ripping? I don't do a ton of wood work so I prefer not to switch the blade a bunch so I'm also considering the D1040X or D1050x as a multiple-purpose/Combination blade. I don't do much, if any cross cutting on my table saw really so thinking I should put the D1060x on my chop saw.
So does a 24 tooth blade almost guarantee tear out and fraying on one side of the cut? I always thought it was pretty smooth with my old 24 tooth but I can't remember since it's been a few years since I switched to the D1060x.
Guess I would bite the bullet and spend the money on the LU87R010/24 tooth($43) or the LU83R010 ($48). Not that I want to spend that but I want to get a good blade to last a long while.
I'm hoping to grab the blade quick at Home Depot or on Amazon prime.
Recommendations welcome
