RE: [TCML] Table Saw Blades for Phenolic LE

["Mccauley, Daniel H" <daniel.h.mccauley@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.
I do have dust collection on my table saw, so that works out good.
I did purchased a plastics Freud blade, so i'll give that a shot.

Hi Dan,

That dust gets everywhere!  Have dust collection connected to the saw.
Some phenolic may have fungcides which can really be nasty.  I have one
sheet that always leaves a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I machine
any of it.(mil surplus sheet)  I use a DeWalt plastics blade for it and
it works fine.

I have had a 12/120 system arc thru 10" of the material, so be carefull
in it's use with HV.  It does pick up water.  But it does work well for
rotories as long as it doesn't get too hot.

I think the plastics blades have a 5 degree negative rake, and
nonferrous blades are 0 degree.  Might be the other way around.
