I bought a Twin Town 60 tooth blade. It is super smooth and I am very impressed. I do use a reducing ring and have had no issue with it.

I use Saxton blades in my dewalt cordless saw great value... You have convinced me to upgrade my parkside table saw to the Evo r5

Great vid 👍. I found the Saxton Blades to work so much better than the one that came with my evolution mitre saw.

Both the 40T and 80T are aimed at cross cuts as they both are ATB, the 80T giving a better finish. Saxton does not have a proper combination blade on the 40T with ATB+R which would make for a good rip+cross cut blade. I'd use the 40T for cross cuts on harder material and the 80T on veneer or plywood for good finish. Then you have the 24T FTG also from Saxton which is aimed at fast ripping long thick stock. (I've the three of them) I've asked Saxton if they are planning to add a proper combination blade (ATB+R) on the 40T presentation.

Any cheap blade will better the one shipped with most machines but just because cheap Saxtons cut well out of the box doesn’t mean they’ll last. It’s really false economy. Pay £50 or so for a good entry level industrial grade blade from CMT instead and you’ll get a blade with larger better quality carbide teeth that stays sharper for longer and which can be resharpened many times. Freud are ok for the money but not a patch on CMT. I would advise buying a saw bench with a 30mm arbor rather than the evolution machines 25mm. Better choice of blades.

Another interesting video I’ve just bought the Dewalt DWE 7485 and the first thing I’m going to do is upgrade the blade. Looking at KZfaq it’s seems the Freud is the way to go. It’s a shame that they don’t do blades for Evolution

I used a borrowed evolution blade (new) last weekend to trim a laminate work top. I could not fault the results.

I have used the Saxton Blades in my Evolution track saw, not tried them in my Makita yet. You may get a better cut with a 0 clearance insert or blue tape

Never place a featherboard directly to the blade! It give pressure on the blade which can lead to a kick back and your fingers are gone! Allways put it in front of the blade.

Would you have a link for the yellow guide stop. I have just had a brain freeze for the life of me cannot remember the name of it. BTW I use the Saxton blades in my evolution table saw

I've used Saxton blades for quite a while and always found them very good for the price. On a side note you mentioned you cut laminate flooring with the Evolution blade, in my experience laminate flooring soon takes the edge of a blade so now I only use a jigsaw when cutting laminate.

Thanks for the blade comparison but please review your safety in using this machine as I don’t want you to lose any fingers. Your feather board shouldn’t be placed alongside the blade, don’t run your left hand past the blade and never ever do a cross cut like you do at the end with it placed against the fence. Kickback from these is not to be underestimated.
