My 24T Forrest rip blade needs to be sharpened. It has been good.
But is it worth more than twice the price of a similar Freud when purchased new?
BTW, for a perfect smooth glue line cut, I have never had the same performance with a sharpened blade compared to new.
Sending the blade back to Forest for sharpening which hopefully will give factory performance is not really worth the effort. With shipping costs to and back from Forest for a few bucks more a new Freud arrives UPS at my door.
