220 teeth. Any steel is good, although the carbon-tipped are less prone to dulling.

Best Miter Saw Blade
2016-11-02 11:11:25 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I like Forrest Brand blades because they give excellent results, but they cost an arm and a leg, they are definetely worth sending back to the factory for resharpening. Freud makes high quality blades. I have been unimpressed with some Dewalt blades(home store quality), but others I like(woodworking store, premium blades). Whatever brand you decide on, GET A CARBIDE TOOTHED BLADE. The durability, especially on MDF, far outweighs the increase in cost. Remember that when you are buying any type of saw blade, you truly get what you pay for. a $100 blade will cut better than a $20 blade. Generally speaking Crosscut blades, for miter saws, will have low, no or negative hook angles.

Carbide tipped blades are the best for any type of material. I don't recommend a plywood blade because you'll get a pretty rough cut and plywood blades are not very versatile. Go with a blade that has a minimum of 80 teeth for a miter saw. Forrest, Freud and DeWalt all make very good carbide-tipped blades. I have been a woodworker for more than 20 years and I use Forrest blades exclusively because they give perfect smooth cuts every time...and they last.

I use a 50 tooth combination Freud 10" blade (LU83R) thin kerf on my table saw ( an LU84 will work also) and a LU91 Freud 12" blade on my miter saw.
Both are carbide tipped. They give a very smooth cut.

I know of only one miter saw blade....If you doing this by hand a std miter saw would do well. If its a power cut with a recipricating blade use "The Axe" painted white they and "The Torch" for metal are the best blades on the market.
I don't know about 220 teeth per inch as suggested....that sound like a stainless steel cutting blade....never heard of so many teeth per inch...FWIW

Depends on how fast you want to cut and how fine that cut needs to be. Ask someone at the hardware store about it. Use a carbide tip. It will cost you through the nose, but it will last alot longer. Blades usually tell you what to cut with them. you'll probably want a medium tooth, and cut slow. Thats about all i can tell you

for medium density fiberboard you should use a blade rated for fiberboard or other composite materials but a plywood blade will work fine
the key is the most teeth you can find ( it will dull the blade quickly tho )
