I have a hand-me-down 7 1/4" sawcat that is old and most likely has the original blade (looks like a 24T). The info plate on the saw has worn off and the blade has no marking on it. Assuming I can clean up the bottom plate (it's clearly been used on asphalt shingles at least once) and the blade is parallel to the guide, I was thinking of purposing it for breaking down sheets (plywood, mdf, hardboard) using a guide rail built specifically for the saw.
I am leaning toward the Freud D0740X Diablo 40T. I like the price, but I am willing to spend more for a better quality cut. I'm not sure if a better blade would have a noticeable difference because I always plan on using the zero clearance guide.
