The newest blade from Forrest Manufacturing is the 10″ Ply Veneer Worker with 70 Teeth, and is specifically designed to work with man-made materials in the plywood, vinyl clad, composite and veneer arena. Each tip is made from super hard, long life micro-grain carbide, and the ATB (35° Alternate Top Bevel) produces the smoothest cut ever seen in a hand-straightened saw blade. The 10° face hook allows for easier feed on table saws, and sides are chamfered to eliminate heat buildup and chip clearing. This thin (3/32″) kerf blade is 10″ in diameter and has a 5/8″ arbor. This blade is also available in standard (1/8″) kerf. For use on table saws and saws with slides. Made in the USA.
The Woodworker II ATB blade (below) is the most popular for general table saw use. It has a plate thickness of .090, and the kerf is available in 1/8″ or 3/32″.
Both the 70 tooth Ply Veneer Worker, and the 10″ x 48 tooth Woodworker II are demonstrated in the video below by Ron Collier, Rep for Forrest Saw Blades. He also explains 9 additional Forrest offerings.
