Hello fellow knife dogs!
I need some help. I just bought a table saw and want to cut scales out of Cocobolo and other exotic hardwood lumber.
I use to work with my Dad building things around the house with his table saw but Dad has since passed away and he is the one who had the knowledge of what different blades are the best to use (crosscut vs rip vs regular steel blades vs carbide tipped blades).
Since I will be ripping as well as crosscutting, should I buy a combination blade or one blade for ripping and one blade for crosscut? Since the wood I will be cutting is so hard, should I spend the extra money on a carbide tipped blade?
I will be looking forward to your input.
Thanks,
Grizzly Bear
