This is the one I've been waiting for!
By Knotscott
I'm a long time fan of the famous Forrest WWII 40 tooth 10" blade, and have had the opportunity to try many other top ranked 40 and 50 tooth "multi-purpose" competitors. One thing I've noticed is that the high quality 40T general purpose blades and 50T combo blades all offer alot of versatility and result in glue line caliber cuts in materials up to thicknesses of ~ 1-1/2" to 2". Beyond that they labor more and require more saw power than I can currently offer. The common solution is to install a 24T ripping blade to make those aggressive rips in thick stock. The downside is that the dedicated ripping blades don't leave as smooth of an edge, and leave unacceptable tearout in crosscuts.Enter the 30 tooth WWII general purpose blade. It has the same tooth geometry as its 40T counterpart, but the lower tooth count leaves more room for larger gullets between the teeth, which in turn allows for more efficient chip removal, which ultimately allows ripping thicker material more efficiently. The typical downside of the lower tooth count was noted above with the 24T blade, a noticeably rougher edge. The sheering action of the sharp alternating bevel tooth grind (ATB) of the WWII combined with it's high quality materials and precision sharpening give the 30T WWII an impressively clean cut. I can't go as far as to say it's as clean as the 40T version, and it'd be illogical to claim that it's cleaner...it's not, but the decline in cut quality is very minimal, and still results in a glue line edge. It's an excellent trade off for the increased feedrate and ability to rip thicker materials with ease.I think the 30T WWII is an excellent alternative to the more standard 40T version, especially if you tend to rip thicker materials or have a smaller saw. It'll do a large portion of the ripping that I've traditionally done with a dedicated 24T ripper, yet will still crosscut well and leave a suitably clean edge for the vast majority of tasks. As was true of the better 40T and 50T blades, I'll still have very little need for an 80T blade, which makes this one the most versatile of the high quality blades I've used.

By Eric Miller
This saw blade is nothing short of fantastic. This blade has been used to rip and crosscut all types of wood with excellent results. Leaves a cut so smooth you would swear it has been sanded. No need for a jointer to smooth edges with this blade. Absolutely NO rip-out when cutting plywood. Well worth the money.

By J. Atkinson
After reading many reviews and suggestions by others about using a lower tooth count on a 1-3/4hp saw, I decided to take a chance and spend the money for this blade. I've normally purchased the cheaper combo blades but was always dealing with tear outs, burning and bogging down my saw.Once I had this installed I ran a few test cuts on some 4/4 hard maple and I was astounded. The cuts were absolutely smooth, nearly as good as my jointer, and certainly good enough for glue up. It's also very quiet, and goes through hard wood with ease. I used to have to put some effort into feeding my lumber, but this blade made it seem like I was only pushing the piece from one side of the table to the other.I haven't had the chance to do any crosscuts, but considering how it performed on the rips I think it'll do well, and certainly better than my former blades. I also bought the stiffener which may have added to the quality of the cuts. I'll definitely be considering getting a second blade from Forrest before I send this one in for sharpening.
