Buy this blade! Cuts very smooth and well worth the money. I was very hesitant about spending over $100 on a table saw but I was convinced by some of the other reviews and took the plunge. The only issue I had was that it was stuck on the arbor. I used a couple wooden wedges to pop it off. After that I haven't had any issues. Highly recommended.

I waited a long time to publish this review because I wanted to use this in a variety of tasks first. I am a professional woodworker with a shop full of tools, but this is the single greatest tool I own. This is the cadillac of all saw blades, they just don't get better.
It produces smoother then planing, never needs sanding, cut-your-finger-on-the-edge-of-the-board, smooth cuts. I have literally cut two pieces of wood and glued them together without jointing to make large carcass pieces. I use it with a P&C Cabinet saw and have not smelled burnt wood since.
The price points to the quality of the blade, and I would be willing to pay more actually for the results. When I cut miters for picture frames, I glue them right up, no paring needed. If you are a serious woodworker, this is the only blade you should have on your saw.

Smooth cutting blade and well worth the price.
The Kerf blade cuts with little effort on the table saw. I will only use Forrest blades in the future.

This will be my second Forest Wood workerII. I have been using one for three years and can't imagine my shop with out it. I purchased a second blade so I won't ever be with out one. I like working in hard woods, cherry, oak, ash, ect..

A great blade. I use in in a low end Jet bench saw and it makes smooth cuts with only ocassional burning, which is probably more my fault than the blade. The thin kerf takes less power so works better in a low end saw like mine.

I have been using this blade for 6 months and mst say it is worth every dollar. Cuts, both rip and cross, are very smooth. It it holds an edge well and cuts nicely through all hard woods, even Ipe. A must have for any woodworker.

It hurt a little to spend this kind of money on a blade, but it's the best money I have spent on my hobby since I started! ZERO chipout on crosscut ply, ZERO chipout on crosscut hardwood. Only regret is that I should have purchased this blade years ago.

Just picked up blade and can't believe how smooth the cuts are, and how well it cuts through hard woods. Best money spent on a blade. If you plan on doing more than weekend warrior projects, this is the blade to get.

I now have nothing but Forester blades and "no regrets"
there is no better, no more jointing, I rip a 1/16th wide, take a 32cd off and a quick sand and that is it! Cut your time and enjoy the quiet sound and never smell burnt wood cuts again.

This is absolutely the best damn table saw blade ever. I've never seen such smooth cuts. It cuts like a hot knife through butter. I am in the process of making a playhouse for my two youngest granddaughters and the Forrest II Woodworker has saved me time and frustration thus far. I absolutely love it! It is the BEST.

I guess one phrase describes it all: "You Get What You Pay For!". Yes, it is a little bit more expensive than other blades, but the others can't compare not only to cut but also to how long it lasts between sharpenings. I also have the Woodworker I on my radial arm saw. I have had it for years, and am just not sending it back to Forrest for sharpening (they also do the best sharpening of anyone). I have tried several other blades over the years, but Forrest is the only blade I will own.

I had a hard time spending this much on a saw blade. But, after I began to use it, I quickly realized that the blade can make cheap lumber look like a million bucks !! It cuts so smoothly that my jointer is embarrassed. Treat yourself to the best - you'll be very happy that you did.

I have had the Woodworker II blade now for several years, using it on my ancient Craftsman table saw with a 3/4 hp motor. It made this old saw quite usable again. I have used it in building my house. The cuts are velvet smooth. The blade is quiet! It doesn't sing like most blades. I am on my second sharpening. It is "the" saw blade to use.

It slices, it dices, it juliennes and still slices right through a tin can!
I was skeptical before I owned one.
Seriously, there is a difference. I own several saw blades for every purpose from cutting fence boards to ripping fine 8/4 hardwood, and the Forrest is my special reserve for stuff that matters.
Save the shipping box so you can send it in for sharpening some day. You'll have a special saw blade for life.

I put off buying one of these for years. After all, there are many, many well made blades. I'd used Freud blades before and while Freud are well-made, the Forrest is in a league unto itself. The cuts are clean with almost no saw marks. No burns, even with my 1-3/4 HP saw on oak. The blade runs true - don't bother with a blade stabilizer for you won't need one.
If there is a gold standard for table saw blades, Forrest is it.

The blade cuts well but is over rated! I have and use Systematic, Freud and Forrest WWII. All cut equally well. I prefer my Freud thin kerf because it cuts easier than the Forrest at 1/2 the price. Furthermore, I have had the blade sharpened by Forrest, I had to send it back for a resharpening because it didn't cut right after the sharpening. It still doesn't cut right so I don't use it any more. After paying for shipping twice plus the cost of the sharpening, I decided it was more cost effective to try the Freud. The Freud was a good decision. I also had planer blades sharpened by Forrest and was not satisified with the sharpening.

First impressions were bad, but beauty is only skin deep!!
I received my blade and it was enclosed in a piece of cheap cardboard, opened it up and I had in my hand a blade with poor lettering, graphics and shade tree brazing on the carbide, I thought this is either [an importer] or someone hammering these out in thier garage.
Chucked it up in my 1 1/2 HP table saw and was blown away!!!!!!! These people know what they are doing for sure, no vibration slices through 8/4 hard maple like butter!!!!
We made cutting boards with purpleheart and hard maple it cut through 8/4 end grain glueups with no burn or strain on our saw.
Reminds me of long gone quality products of yesteryear.
Too bad fancy packaging and marketing affect the quality of products.

I have made a lot of improvements to my old Craftsman contractors saw. Wood magazine plan's mobile table saw and router center, Power Link twist belt, steel pulleys and a Biesemeyer fence, but none have made the biggest difference in performance as the Forrest Woodworker II thin kerf blade has. Wow! What a difference! Well worth the price paid.
