Holy crap...

Using 2 blades, or 3 is a great idea...
I haven't heard of that after 9 months of crawling this site.

I spent 4.5 hours ripping cedar and poplar yesterday. (Yes, single bladed.)
I hadn't heard the idea here but it makes perfect sence.

IF ONLY...

I did notice that my Diablo blade had a bit of wobble to it.
On circular saws it apparently doesn't matter as much.
It accounted for about .025" from what I expected. I didn't try to bend it back. The center has a cutout for the key that some circular saws use. The runout is probably from that.

: tooth)with a wooden spacer between. They did a great job, and the kerf is
: less than 1/16 of an inch. There appeared to be enough arbor that I could
: add a third blade next time.
