Panel Saw Blades

I just purchased a Striebig panel saw. Any advice on Blades? I will mostly be cutting laminate 2 sided sheet goods, partical board, plywood, melamine. All the basic sheet goods. No solid surface tho. It came with a Leuco Topline blade.

I run mostly Leuco, but purchased a couple of Freud 300mm blades a while back and they cut very nice.
72 tooth ATB on 2 sided plywood.
Check on Amazon, I think we're in the 120.00 range

I change my blades throughout the day depending on what I am cutting keeping the best blade for the finest material. I don't cut un-coated particle board with the same blade as for melamine unless the sharpest edge was already used up. I use a hollow ground tooth for melamine (short life, cuts well) and a ATB or triple chip for most else. I back score on the up stroke and complete the cut on the down stroke.

congrads on your purchase. U are going to love it.
We were using a german blade for 8 years and were getting 8-12 sheets before any chipping.
Last year tried Forrest blades.
We now can cut 24 sheets before any chipping is noticeable. they are not cheep. About 235.00 a blade. They stock 30mm x 300mm blades. Best investment ever.

I bought a compact 5207. Looks like the blade is smaller at 250 mm dia., 30 mm bore with (2) 7 mm pin holes (42 mm circle). I have about 150 sheets to cut up for this job I am working on now. I should probably get 3 blades to start. I dont see a Forrest with 250mm.

We used to use a slider exclusively and have always used Leitz blades. We are cutting veneered plywood and MDF.

Food for thought. We moved to a nested router. I thought before we got the router that we were going to eat up bits. We get 150 sheets from a $80 Vortex router bit. We don't change bits because of tear out we change bits because the edge surface quality degrades. It defies logic. If you grab the bit after running 20 sheets its just above room temperature.

You can call them. All their blades are not listed.They made a scoring blade for my slider we just bought.Very good price.

I have the compact and have found Tenryu triple chip blades to work the best. I have some atb ones as well but the triple chip seen to perform the best and cut the smoothest (we mostly cut prefin ply but I use them for everything). Hollow ground blades work good for melamine but they are not much better, are expensive to sharpen and difficult to find a qualified sharpener. I wouldn’t bother with them.

HI Andy, we also have a compact and use 80T triple chip blades from Amana and Age, also an Amana company I guess. The Age cost a lot less and run about the same for 4 or so sharpening s and then start to make loud ringing noise that Amana blade does not.
Do you have a part # for that Tenryu triple chip, I am not seeing one with 30mm bore and drive pin holes.
Also have never gotten a clean bottom cut on melamine or HPl with triple chip. We have scoring unit and run diamond blade on that, only need to sharpen that once or twice a year.

Thank you
Paul

Hi Paul,
Here it is.
You have scoring so you'll be fine but I don't think any blade does well on the backside of melamine with out scoring.

I ended up picking up FS tool XL 4000 blades from the place i bought the saw from. So far so good. I also found out the sharping place I use sells them also. He had mentioned they have all the perimeters already for when they sharpen them. I did just cut some veneer ply. I thought it burned a bit more then it should. Was a newer blade. I am wondering if i should be switching to something else for veneer plywood?

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
