Hey everyone, looking to buy a nice 12" chopsaw blade and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. My current blade is getting dull and very gummed up. Still usable but I have to build a fireplace mantel soon and I don't want to use it for that. From what I've heard, a -5 degree hook angle is a thing to look for when buying a chopsaw blade, so I guess I'd prefer that. Also something with some beef to it that will cut an 1/8" kerf. I'd like to get this blade resharpened a couple of times when necessary and I don't see that happening with a thing kerf blade. I'd like to keep it under $90 or so. I've heard many great things about the Forrest Chopmaster but right now I can't afford that blade But I am looking for something similar in performance. Something I will hang onto for a long time, not a throw away blade. Any help is much apppreciated, thanks everyone
