Does anybody have a favorite 10" FTG blade that fits Hammer/Felder? I have an extra WWII with a 5/8" hole, but I imagine shipping back-and-forth, boring, and grinding, would exceed the cost of a new blade.

Probably best off just ordering a new one from Ridge or Forrest.
But it can't hurt to call them and ask. It might be cheaper. Both companies are in New Jersey I think.
Give Dynamic Saw a call.
Flat tooth? Felder has one - I have the rip blade with a flat tooth grind. I'm sure you can look at CMT too.
It cost me $20 per blade to have FS Tools bore and drill my blades to fit the Hammer.
Since most of blades are in the $100 range it was very cost effective...........Look for a local shop in your area, maybe they can do it........Rod
Personally I think the Felder Silent Power blades are a significant upgrade to the Forest. I’d buy a Felder.
That may be true, but not according to the shop that sharpens my blades: I sent in a Silent Power blade to repair/replace some damaged carbide tips and the owner said that the blade was inferior quality and suggested I invest in a more robust blade rather than waste $60 repairing the Felder blade. You can take that for what it's worth.Quote:

Tenryu makes blades with ATB with flat raker grind which should give you a pretty flat groove. I run a Tenryu on my Hammer K3 and have been very happy with the quality of the cut.
