Hi
Apologies if this should go in the "tool" section but I thought it was better to post it here.
I just bought a used Festool TS-75 and would like to buy a new blade for it. I was hoping to save some pennies (or rather many pounds) by buying a non-Festool branded blade (ive not yet used the saw but think that it will need a new blade soon).
I just wanted to know whether the "KERF" size is important. For example, the festool blades are 210mm x 30mm x2.4mm. But i found a Dewalt one which is 210mm x 30mm x 2.6mm and a Bosch one with a 2.5 mm kerf (ie is 0.1 mm a biggy???).
Also, I mainly cut mdf and veneered mdf. I was wondering how many teeth I should get on the blades i buy (i was thinking as many as possible but as price seems to go up with the number of teeth I didnt want to buy an 80 tooth blade when a 45 tooth blade would give as good a cut in those products.
Thanks a lot for all your help.
