Recommendations for where to source negative raked blades suitable for a RAS, please. It's easy with bandsaws, but specialist circular saw blades seem a bit of a minefield.

Freud is usually pretty reliable. I had one on my small (9") RAS. I've got a Forrest Woodworker1 on my current RAS but I don't know if you can get them over there.

Used to get mine from http://www.atkinson-walker-saws.co.uk

They did negative rake with a 5/8" bore which is what my old RAS was before I sold it. Excellent blades, highly recommended.

Mike I've never used him myself but over on ukw the Ian of Tuffsaws equivalent for circular saw blades is touted as Doug Perry of Cutting Solutions. Quick google found them easily enough. Maybe worth a call

I have only used the Vermont American blades for the RAS and table saw.

Cheers
