Forrest I and II 10" blades

[jason lambert]

I bought a Forrest I blade what a nice blade it got me also to looking at a slightly more aggrissive blade. So I saw the Forrest II what is the main difference in these blades?

i know teeth are slightly less onthe forest II and angles change but what does this translate to on the saw.

I use the WW I for sheeting goods, and the WW II as a general purpose blade for solid lumber.

From the Forrest site
10" WWI - 60 teeth, 30° ATB, 5° hook
10" WWII - 30 or 40 teeth, 15° ATB, 20° hook

My 2¢:
Both are "all-purpose" blades, neither has raker (flat-topped) teeth.

WWI - better for reduced chipping on plywood, fine crosscuts, use on a radial arm saw, thinner boards

WWII - better for variety of cuts (rip or crosscut), higher feed rate, thicker boards.

Yup, WW1 on the RAS, WW11 on the TS
