Tenryu GM-25540 10" Carbide Tipped Saw Blade ( 40 Tooth ATB Grind - 5/8" Arbor - 0.111 Kerf) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a top shelf blade that's very comparable in design and performance to the industry standard of the Forrest WWII 40T.Like any high end general purpose blade, it offers versatile performance with a nice compromise of glueline ripping ability, clean crosscuts, and good performance in sheet goods.Also, like any good general purpose blade, when compared to a pure dedicated ripping blade it tends to bog and burn a bit in very thick dense woods, and leaves a bit of tearout on crosscuts and sheetgoods when compared to a good 80T crosscut blade, but counters those weaknesses with the ability to perform well enough in a variety of materials and cuts that you can use one blade for the vast majority of tasks.

It's worth noting that the kerf width is 0.111", which is thicker than a standard 3/32" (0.098") thin kerf, and thinner than a standard 1/8" (0.125") full kerf.In use, this means that it takes a wider cut than a TK requiring slightly more power, which influences how it performs in thick materials.Inversely, it takes a narrower cut than a full kerf blade which allows to cut through thick material more easily.Competitors such as the Forrest WWII, Infinity Combomax, and Ridge Carbide TS2000 are available in a choice of thin kerf or full kerf, so you can choose which is best suited for you saw and usage.It's also worth noting that this blade is manufactured in Asia, whereas the Forrest and Ridge Carbide are made in the USA.
