I have a Ryobi EMS2026SCL sliding mitre saw that takes 254mm blades. I have a bosch 80teeth 2608640450 -box says 5degree negative and has one tooth square top and the next tooth round top. The problem is that I do not find the cut with this blade any finer than my standard Ryobi 40tooth that came with the saw. The other problem with this saw is that it is rubbish at collecting the dust - hardly any gets in the bag. The bosch blade has a 3.5mm kerf and produces a lot of dust and because of its thickness and weight gives a nasty yank when it starts (the saw does not have soft start).
In comparison I also have a workx hand held circular saw that has a 1.8mm kerf with 24 teeth that gives perfect cuts with hardly any dust or breakout.
I have a lot of engineered 18mm oak floor to lay and then oak veneered mdf skirting boards.
I think that I will get on much better with the thinnest kerf blade I can find in my Ryobi as I love the action of the thin kerf blade in my hand held workx one as it just seems to slip effertlesly through wood.
So can anyone help me with what blade should I be getting - im guessing that I may well need one for the floor and one for the skirting
