In Response To: Strip: Which Diablo? (Erik)

: After lurking here for the past few years and absorbing all sorts of useful
: information, I'm finally getting started on my first stripper. It seems
: that the 7 1/4" freud diablo is a popular choice for ripping the
: strips, but do I want the 24 or 40 tooth version? So far I've got Sitka
: spruce and mahogany to deal with. Thanks.

The 40 tooth is a crosscut blade, not ideal for ripping.
