Cutting plywood

[Hobbyman2]

To get the best-quality cuts, invest in an 80-tooth blade designed for sheet goods. The small teeth take little bites to reduce chip-out and are steeply beveled at their edges to score the veneer face. You'll have to slow your feed rate, but will get a much smoother edge.

I had a piece of 1/4 inch plywood cut at the big box store a few days ago and it was not pretty, splinters were very bad , they had the wrong blade on their saw and when the fella raised the saw he just gave it a fling like he had other things to do and it was a bother for him to cut the board , take your time go slow and use sharp clean blades . Just my .02

I cut a lot of baltic birch plywood and I use my Mikita track saw for most of the cutting. if you are careful in layout I don't need to use the Shopsmith for most of the cuts. But I do have a couple of spare blades and rotate them frequently. Plus the Mikita has a scoring function. A good track saw is expensive but very valuable it you do a lot of plywood.

How many teeth do you need for plywood?
A 40-tooth blade works fine for most cuts through plywood. Blades with 60 or 80 teeth should be used on veneered plywood and melamine, where the thin veneers are likely to blow out on the underside of the cut, a characteristic known as tearout. MDF requires even more teeth (90 to 120) to get the cleanest cut.May 21, 2009

How about a link or part number for this Krieg jig? Thanks!

How about using a search engine (Google for me) to find it yourself.

TomH was probably just trying to make sure he was looking at the recommended one, not a different model. Looking at it that way wouldn't have accomplished your point though.

If my memory the blade I use is 50-60 teeth. just as a reference while they are nice the Festool blades are 5 mm smaller in diameter. and then the scoring feature won't work.
