Summary:
The video is about saw blades and how to choose the right one for your woodworking needs.
In the video, the host, Jonathan Katz-Moses, discusses the different types of saw blades and their uses. He also talks about how to clean and sharpen saw blades.
Here are some of the key points from the video:
There are five common types of saw blades: rip, crosscut, general purpose, combination, and dado.
Rip blades are best for ripping lumber along the grain.
Crosscut blades are best for cutting across the grain.
General purpose blades can be used for both ripping and crosscutting, but they are not as good as dedicated rip and crosscut blades.
Combination blades are a good choice for general woodworking, as they can be used for both ripping and crosscutting.
Dado blades are used for making dados, rabbets, grooves, and half laps.
It is important to clean your saw blades regularly to remove sap and pitch buildup.
You can sharpen your saw blades yourself, or you can take them to a professional sharpener.
The host recommends CMT chromium blades, which he says are high-quality blades at a mid-level price. He also offers a 10% discount code for viewers who purchase CMT blades from his store.
