I also was hoping I was getting my dad's old Craftsman table saw... it is a common HD table saw  |
I bet your table saw is a 10" contractor saw. It has a motor hanging out the back. If they are older, they are actually good saws for general use. I had one like that when I started. A good fence and a new belt makes the saw not the blade.
I will confuse you more. There are Triple Chip Grind, for cutting plastic and melamine and other easily chipped materials. Alternate Top Bevel blades are for crosscutting to prevent splintering. Then the combination tooth. That's the general purpose 50 tooth blade I was talking about (for 10" saw). There are specific blade for ripping but in a pinch or even on the job site, a combo blade is hard to beat.
Tell me what are you looking to do with this? I am sure I have some new 10' blades that I am not using or already sharpened in my shop somewhere. I will look for a couple of rough cutting combo blades for you if you are just looking to chop up 2x4 or general plywood. You can have them. I know I have a couple of plywood high speed steel blade I purchased long age that was only used once for this job. you are welcome to those also.
