Shopsmith Thin Kerf Sawblades
Wow! What a difference they make. I bought my MK5 in 1994 and as an extra got five SS saw blades. I used these until 2006 and they preformed good until worn out. I then invested in a Freud General purpose blade for all of my cutting. It did well until about a month ago when one of the teeth fell off. Thank goodness the safety guard was in place. Lucky for me SS was having a sale on their thin kerf blades. Used the Rip blade and Crosscut blade for the first time today. Easiest ripping I have ever done and the crosscut was very quiet and fast. Has my AAA rating.
Enjoy a little sawdust therapy

So about 120 mph.
