been asked to fit a kitchen for a mate of mine. i currently have a 48 tooth and an 80 tooth blade but they have both been used for various stuff. possibly a touch blunt. i could get em sharpened up but i was wondering what you guys use when fitting cornice / lighting pelmet etc.

these are the blades im currently using.

though iirc they werent that expensive when i got em

also ive seen that stuff that disolves the sap and all that on blades after theyve been used a fair bit. one of mine i ended up scraping clean. does it work well?

btw the machine is a dewalt dw701

cheers fellas

haha yep if you remember after not using it for a couple of weeks though.

ill send mine off to be sharpened up aswell. the local timber yard sends the table saws blades to get sharpened and they said i can send mine off with em aswell. canny of them.
