Ive used my compound miter saw the most for a wide variety of tasks. I have an 80 tooth and an 82 tooth Freud blade. Bought one of them first when new, bought the second because I was cutting some aluminum and the second one was rated for metal cutting.
I have a few lower tooth count blades, like a 24 tooth for my circular saw.
As I don't frame, and generally would like smoother and better cuts sooner on whatever I do, is there any reason to own/have low tooth count blades at all?
Essentially I have one that came with my compound saw, and Im wondering if I should sell that and/or the low count blades on my circular saws, and just have fine tooth blades on all my saws.
Is there a reason why this logic is flawed? For the amount of work and what I do, money isn't an object really if I ruin a blade, and I believe blades can be sent to the manufacturers for sharpening...
If Im not cutting a huge number of 4x4s or ripping plywood constantly, is there a good reason why I should hold on to low tooth count blades for a miter (less of a reason since it really is all finish type work) or circular saws?
Thanks!
