BTW, I thought the price of the SM blade was high till I realized what kind of processing it went through. Most good table saw blades are in that range anyways.

I am currently using the LMI blade with stiffeners. When I first tried it, the blade slipped into the threads on the arbor. This made it wobble up and down,and the only way to check the height of the cut was to make sample cuts to find out where the 'high point' was. After cutting the first fretboard this way, the wood residue on the blade only appeared on the few high teeth that were actually doing the work.

To remedy this, I applied Bondo tho the first couple of threads of the arbor and trued it up with a bit of sand paper when cured. This works well and doesn't get in the way when I switch to a standard blade, although I need to add a spacer between the dampening washer and the nut. This is so the threads on the nut don't cut the Bondo out .

The up side is that the thin blades are a lot cheaper to replace when that time comes.

Has anyone had an issue with the arbor using this blade on Delta Unisaw? The saw is about four years old years old.
