It's been ages since I swapped over my general purpose table saw blade. It comes out to fit other specialist blades quite often but back it goes without much thought.
Normally my saw is set up such that I rarely need to do any planing and a light sand and wood is ready for finish but just lately I noticed a few saw marks and gave the blade a good check over.
Poor thing has shed a tooth and so I fitted my ready ground spare and the difference was incredible. So much quieter and lovely finish again.
I gave my saw doctor a ring and £3 to fit a new tooth and £8 to give it an all over grind (34 tooth). £11 plus vat to return it to full health and ready for service again.
Moral of the story? Well worth giving your blades a quick once over every now and then.
