Forrest blade lead times

[Brian Runau]

They've had lead time issues for seems like years now. Web site says 2-3 months lead time.

What would be a good quality option for Forrest? 10" crosscut. Thanks. Brian

The ww2 is a fine blade for this and can be used to rip also. I have their ply/veneer blade and it is superlative for crosscutting sheet goods (although I use the ridge Carbide most times instead). If you're in a hurry, RC is another good choice.

Is that lead time new or sharpening?

Ridge Carbide are the only blades I use. I also use them to re-sharpen dull blades.
