Consistent high quality and service:
I have been using Forrest blades for 25 years. Every one of them was great AND their sharpening service is excellent!
Though these seem expensive, consider that we get two, three or sometimes even four re-sharpenings out of them. The tooth geometry of the Woodworker II is especially versatile.

nice blade but not the best for the price:
I purchased about 4 forrest blades, one of each type, including one for solid surfaces. The blades cut 'nice', not like what i expected after reading all the hype about them on the internet.

I was cutting some small parts and one wedged between the blade and steel insert that came with the saw. In a microsecond, the accident sounded like a gunshot. The blade had gotten momentarily deflected so far it... more info
In a class by itself:
I've been woodworking for 40 years, and I've gone thru a bunch of blades. I recently was able to get one of these at a really great price. Wow, I never thought that it would be that much better than anything else I've ever used. Both cross-cut and rip in both soft, and hardwood, also great on oak plywood. If your budget allows, you can go wrong with one of these.
