It is very helpful to think this out. One should try to get all blades with same kerf so all scales and riving knife remain true.
I started with Felder silent power (315 mm, 28 & 48 teeth ATB) on my 2002 KF without scoring option and the are fine. 3.2 mm kerf. I can’t comment to what max blade you can use with and without scoring on your KF but it should be in the manual.
I have been using Tenryu on my K975 and they are good blades. 300/350 mm dia and 28, 50 & 32 teeth ATB. 350 does not go under table.
IW-30028CBD3 (0.128 kerf)
IW-30050CBD3 (0.128 kerf)
IW-35032CBD3 (0.136 kerf)
David P Best uses the 50 teeth above for both rip and xcut and says it works fine.
Sliders do work better with less hook so do look for blades specifically made for sliders. Hopefully this helps.

Hi there all, I'm sure this has been discussed many times here, but I'm looking for a cross cut blade for my kf700 for hardwoods. Material thickness 30mm+
I have a tenryu 60 tooth blade and it has been good.
?
Looking for an 80ish tooth 300mm blade and thinking ATAFR grind to give a flat cut (crosscut rebating) but am unsure when it comes to kerf and particularly rake. Positive/ neutral/ negative for hard woods. I assume a thinner kerf is the way to go?
?
Tenryu PP-30075AB 300mm -75 tooth looks good but $310 aud.
?
Please any recommendations on specs/ blades
Thanks again.
Chris.
