who have had faith in the products I have to offer.
And even more thanks for the very prompt payments.
Cash flow in all businesses can be disasterous in the wrong circumstances but paying promptly is a bonus for new businesses.
I look forward to giving help where needed in the future.
Dave

Can you supply anything with these specs (and quality) at a less painful price? The diameter seems to be (oh so typically) designed to lock one in on the aftermarket. www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=147249 |

Would the Freud blade LP 20M 020 be any good?
220mm rather than 225mm but thats only 2.5 mm off the depth of cut.

Wrong kerf by the looks of it - not sure if that means the body is wrong for the riving knife, and not worth taking the chance. Thanks for looking, though.

Big thumbs up for CS. Took a bit of flak when he first arrived here, but I have used his services and I was more than happy. Good advice, cheap, quick turn around, cant ask for much more than that really. Jake - what are you cutting that requires the panther blade? I have a rip blade for my TS55 but it very rarely gets used, a sharp 48T universal cuts pretty much everything thats thrown at it. Plus theres the problem of re aligning the cutting strip on the rails, it just doesn't seem worth the bother. Theres a discussion here of the merits of the panther blade. rgds Sainty |

oops sorry.
Must pay more attention to the spec before diving in!!
If it's not for the TS 55, what toys have you got, the TS75? A bit more searching reveals the CS70?

Dave on your site you list HPS as maybe having longer life than HSS. But then then HSS is dearer? Is that right, is this HPS worth a punt?

that is a well thought out GLOAT ;D In my defence, it was just the only flat surface in the workshop not covered in stuff. |

Jake I have one of the Panther blades and I think it is bloody awful when used with the TS55 and that is me being very polite.
It may work a lot better in a table saw arrangement but I found the;
Freud LP20M 007 12tooth 15° ATB 2.4mm kerf at just £13.70 ripped best.

Thanks Keith, but again, I don't think a 2.4mm kerf is going to suit the riving knife - which having just measured it is just about spot on 2.4mm itself. What's wrong with the panther? Most of Festool's blades seem to have a good reputation (presumably they are manufactured by one of the big boys) - albeit at their usual  prices. |

Most of Festool's blades seem to have a good reputation (presumably they are manufactured by one of the big boys) - albeit at their usual prices. I thought the Panther blade had far too aggressive a cut for its own good. Plus there is no anti kick back limiter designed into the blade and the blade does kick back. Also the very large and relatively unsupported teeth pull the blade first one way then the other which gives a terrible rough finish. |

The HPS is new material specially heat treated and registered process (not sure if UK reg is through yet but should be soon.....I just buy it BTW....dont make it) "trials have proven"....thats bland i know but sales confirm it.... Worth a punt??? Assuming planer blades... 130x30x3 mm say HPS = 2.50 HSS = 3.60 HSS are nearly 50% more.... IF!!!!! the HPS perform 30% below the HSS .... who gains? |
