I just picked up a craftsman 12 inch radial arm saw, mainly for crosscutting to replace my 10 in slider. any advise or tips on the saw? I am new to them..
it has a CMT blade on it and a ridgid blade was also included. I will have to check but I think both blades are around 40 tooth.
should I just get one of those blades sharpened? or replace it with a higher tooth count? I have read about blades that are better for radial arm saw negative hook or rake? which one of those blades would be better that I have currently have? When I can afford it what is a good, decent priced blade, I saw some frued industrial on amazon for under 80$ that is about as high as I can go. is there a particular blade that works best for this type of saw?
