Has their dado set treated you well so far? ?I was just looking at the Ridge Carbide dado set the other day. ?I certainly love their TS2000 Super Combo Blade, 48 tooth. ?I order it without the raker teeth. ?Impressive cuts for a combo blade.

Alternatively, you can order a dado stack set as well. I have the ridge carbide dado set and you can use the outside cutters either single or doubled up for slotting work.?

John I recently ordered the Felder silent power 14tooth blade and it comes with flat bottom teeth. It¡¯s still on sale for $53.90 and in stock.?
Here¡¯s their description:?For time saving rip cuts. For sizing and ripping solid woods along the grain or to slot and tenon in longitudinal direction

I am not sure what you mean by fine joinery (all we do is mighty fine, right?)
The last time I bought blades was long ago, and I thought rip blades were flat-top and fewer teeth, like Jeff said. Some call a rip blade one with a steep rake angle and a deep gullet, and that describes the ATB ¡°rip¡± blade I bought from Tenryu. It seems to work pretty well, although I have not done much ripping with my new saw yet.
The most demanding thing I would do with this blade is cut slots and rabbets for small box lids. I could do that with a router table, but I have done it quickly and easily with an FTG rip blade on my old cabinet saw. I¡¯ve done channels for drawer bottoms, as well as slots/dados for door panels and larger rabbets with it also.
My old blades are all Systematic. Years ago they were supposed to be good blades, but apparently they sold out to someone who produces some poor products. -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S, and expecting an A941 in April 2022
