As of this hour the forrest 10" 40 tooth, 1/8" saw blade is $64.30 at Amazon. If you search "forrest saw blade" it pops up $64.30, when I searched "forrest 10" saw blade" it popped up $84.99 ( the same blade ). I ordered the $64.30 one. No guarantee how many hours this will last. I found it looking at the best selling powertools section. It was listed at the $64.30 figure there.
Just FYI in case anyone is interested.

the last thing i need, is another gp blade....... or any blade, for that matter.
my inventory of blades is larger than my local retail tool outlet.
currently there's a ridge ts2000 on the saw with tenryu, everlast, dynamic, forrests, freuds, and the full compliment of lietz made stuff sitting in a big box.
but .... my finger hit the "one click buy" button before my brain could intercede.

this is clinical - geeeze........ just swell haha

does anyone run this with the blade stiffener? Just wondering if its necessary. I have the Ridgid 3650.

Mike, I just received one in the mail yeserday ($84, but I am still happy about it) that I got because of the common wisdom that 1/8" kef blades do not need stiffeners. My other blade is the thin kerf woodworker II with a stiffener. I do a little resawing with the table saw and the stiffener reduces how deep I can cut.

So I think the answer is no, you do not need a stiffener with this blade.

I have a thin-kerf and a regular kerf WWII. The stiffener doesn't seem to do anything useful for either one.

Just placed my order and I can finally say I own a forest blade. I've been using a 50T freud blade that has servered me well but I'm starting to see some marks when ripping. I could never seem to buck up and spend over 100 dollars on a forest blade but now I can compare it to the freud. Thanks again for the price tip!

So I think the answer is no, you do not need a stiffener with this blade.Ask Amazon about their price match- they can only say yes, or no.

No stiffener needed for the full kerf, and I've never noticed a difference even on the thin kerf version...FWIW, many folks report similar results, so I'd say skip the stiffener...save your money. The WWII TK is ~ $67 on Amazon and will have a better feedrate on your 3650 than the full kerf.

I just checked Amazon's web site (searched for "forrest saw blade") and they show the .125 kerf saw blade (model #WW10407125 ) for $89.99.The .100 kerf saw blade (model # WW10407100) is $67.68. I don't see one for $64.30. Gary, do you know which model was this price?

It is over for the 1/8" kerf, but still a very good price on the thin kerf at $67.68:

That is amazing at how they move these things around. In the last post that I make I checked the price at the link where I had made my purchase and it had gone back up. I'll bet that they just missed adjusting the price on the scroll down place and anyone that wants one should order it in a timely manner before it is changed. I am sure that all of the people that thought that they had missed out appreicate your information.
