Most tests rate the Forrest Woodworker II as the best general purpose blade on the market. But they are pricey, running from $89.99- $109.99 depending upon the source. A good alternative is the DeWalt 7657, 40 tooth general purpose blade. These can be had for $39.99- $60.00 depending upon source. Amazon currently has them on sale for $39.99 with a 4-6 week back log. Woodworkers Supply in Graham has them for $42.99. I own both the WWII and the 7657. Both deliver incrediable cuts. Shear economics tells me to buy two of the DeWalts when looking for another blade. Just my thoughts. Bruce
