I am setting up my scene shop in a new location. I have been using some old blades on the chop, bench & skill saws. I thought that as long as I was setting up some place new i would the old blades. Any recommendations for blades?
I almost always buy Bosch. Best moderate blades I've found through Menards (my 2nd home). Freud makes some really good upper end (quality and price) blades though. Have a couple in my home shop for specialty fine work.
Freud Diablo. Best bang for the buck. DeWalt isn't too bad either and often on sale. Another tip is to look for a local place that does sharpening. Many carbide blades can be resharpened for less than new, especially if they started life as higher end blades.

+1 for Freud. They are easy to find and have a good price to performance ratio. If the saws see a ton of use I'd consider stepping up to a Forrest and finding a good local sharpening service.
