Anyone used Wealden saw blades? There other tooling always seems to come highly recommended and I wondered if the blades have the same respect? Is Cutting Solutions still around, anyone used his services? If we have a dealer on the site seems like he might as well earn his keep  I'm after a 300mm blade/s for ripping soft/hardwoods, crosscutting soft/hardwoods, machining mdf (standard and veneered). 30mm bore. Oh yeah, scribing blade too, to match panel cutting blade. All to fit "new" SCM panel saw which got fired up for the first time today!! Will post some pictures sometime with some questions on set up. rgds Sainty |

Hi i tend to use mainly freud or Gomex blades on the panel saw and split scorer rather than a conical tooth one.

I'd agree with Jon. Split scorers may be a pain to set-up initially, but they avoid the problem of having to reset the scorer blade height every time you switch from MFC to plywood and back by dropping the scorer and swapping the main blade.

Crosscut = 48 or 60 teeth MDF etc..= 96 triple chip you dont say the scorer size and as i am on the boat using the crap wifi connection cant check, though as said by someone the split is the better option though usually more expensive to buy and service |

Thanks for all the replies. Any chance you can pm me some prices when you get back off your boat cs? I will get the sizes for the split scorer if you can provide those too? rgds Sainty ps I didn't know what a conical tooth scorer was  , heres a link to one for anyone else that doesn't know. Looks like a right faff. |

Conical scorers are really only of use if your saw runs the same main blade/scorer set-up all the time, and even then only if you are doing the same type of board all the time (e.g. 18mm MFC). I believe they were introduced specifically for the industrial market where they are a fit-adjust-forget solution. I've tried working with them in a small shop environment and they are a royal PITA
