What is everyone using for a blade to rip and crosscut plywood on the table saw? Here is my task. I have some 3/4" oak veneered plywood that I have had and used a portion of, without fail. I have always used the Freud LU85 1, It has done reasonably well, little to no chipping. Not this time.
My original blade is here somewhere, but I purchased a new LU85 1 and this is the first use. I used 1/4" hardboard on the table top to make zero clearance kerf board and cut the plywood face down ( against hardboard top) both ripping and crosscutting based on veneer grain and I have chipping in both directions.
I tried a second cut, this time I taped the cut line, I think that made it worse as I pulled more chips off when I pulled the tape. So I'm at a bit of a loss. The blade seems to be running true and clean, no wobble.
Nothing is ever the same, I would appreciate your thought especially if you can share your experiences and thoughts. By the way I just found my old blade and it looks the same.
