I recently purchased a Mark V 500 which came with 4 table saw blades. Can anyone identify the following blades and their uses:

Part #505543 - an 8 inch blade with 240 teeth.

Part #505547 - a 10 inch blade with 80 teeth.

A carbide tipped blade with 24 teeth.

A non-carbide tipped blade with 28 teeth.

Part #505543 - an 8 inch blade with 240 teeth and Part #505547 - a 10 inch blade with 80 teeth are older Shopsmith blades as is the non-carbide tipped 28 tooth blade if a SS brand. The 8 inch is an old plywood blade. As for blades in general the more teeth the finer the cut and are usually cross cut blades or plywood like 505543 above. The ones with less teeth are rip blades and in-between are combination. Again, that is generally speaking and not including specialty blades. See the link below for SS Saw blades from the catalog and information about them.
