I stumbled upon this Delta 12" CMS at Osh this weekend. It was 50% off and I couldn't resist. It will replace my 20+ year old Hitachi 10" MS.
Now I need to buy it a decent blade and am looking for recommendations. On the Hitachi I used a Freud 80 tooth Teflon blade. As I'll probably have this blade for the next 8 to 10 years I want a good one.
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
Welcome to the creek! Your first post and it's a gloat to boot. How about a picture to satisfy the Pic Police?
Congrats on the saw! I got the same one as a gift this past summer and used it with the OEM blade to finish my deck railing. I can't recommend a new blade myself, but will be watching this thread with interest. I can say I love this saw!!

I am going to keep an eye on this one. My DW705 is 11 years old and needs two new blades. I have a 36 and a 80 tooth Dewalt brand.
From what I have been reading some of the other brands are better?
Thanks, Joe

When I bought my DW705 a few years ago, the first thing I did was to buy a Forrest Chopmaster blade for it. The price was high ($109) but well worth the money spent. After all this time, its finally ready to be re-sharpened. This blade provides an excellent cut.

I used to run a very common blade on my CMS. Then I bought a Forrest ChopMaster on sale. Now I actually use the saw...
And it may be your lucky day...an SMC member has several for sale in the SMC Free Classifieds "as we speak".
