Makita HS6601 165mm Circular Saw Blade

[efunc]

Hi all, I've just bought a new Makita HS6601 165mm Circular Saw 240v online. Prior to buying I was trying to find out details of the blade it came with, but there were no pictures anywhere and any reference just said it was 165mm 20mm bore! Any way it arrived and as suspected (from one isolated Amazon review) it actually comes with a 10 tooth blade. To me this seems a pretty odd choice. What is the instended use of this blade? Just general purpose rough cuts? Hardwood, softwood, multipurpose, 1st fix?

I should say I only bought this for making a garden bench, so not fine furniture - some 3x2 cross cuts and scaffold boards, mitre cuts, etc. So nothing too demanding at all.

My question is, will I get good reults with it or should I not bother fitting it? As a fallback I picked up a cheap 24 Tooth Dewalt construction blade in Toolstation. I know this blade isn't intened for anything fine either, but figured it might be a better all round starting blade.

Another option though would be the Erbauer Wood Circular Saw Blade 165mm x 20mm 48T in Screwfix which looks a bit of a bargain: https://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-wood-circular-saw-blade-165mm-x-20mm-48t/716kx

Any thoughts on a decent all rounder out of these that could at least leave me a reasonably fine edge finish?

I’ve found the Makita own brand blades to be good, the Trend equivalent also. Too many teeth can overheat and burn the material,

Thank you, that kind of makes sense, a manufacturer like Makita producing quite a successful Circular saw like this would not really sell a dud, but the inclusion of a 10 tooth blade just threw me a bit. I guess it's probably pretty good for rip cuts. But what about cross cuts and finer work. Seems a strange choice to me, but I can't find much info about it.

I'm not sure why the pictures aren't loading. I'll put them back up...
