Ply Veneer Worker Blade

Forrest Manufacturing has developed a blade designed specifically for providing rip and cross cuts of two-sided plywood, whether finished or unfinished. The Ply Veneer Worker (PVW) features a 10 deg hook, 70 teeth, and a high alternate top bevel grind. The commercial-quality blade excels on table saws, although it can also be used on radial arm saws. It readily rips and cross cuts plywood and plywood veneers. The PVW also provides finish-quality cross cuts on hardwood laminated sheet products, as well as cross cuts on natural wood of all types. So it is well suited for use in making cabinets, bookshelves, and furniture. However, the blade is intended strictly for plywood, plywood veneers, and solid woods. It is not designed for cutting materials such as plastic, laminates, or melamine. Because it is designed for cutting wood products only, it has a faster feed rate than the popular Forrest Duraline Hi-A/T blade that is used for plys, veneers, and low-pressure laminates. At the present time, the Ply Veneer Worker is available only in a 10 in. dia. blade. The model PVW10707125 features a standard 1/8 in. kerf. The Model PVW10707100 features a thin kerf. Both have a list price of $144. Forrest is planning to eventually make the blade available in other sizes, ranging from 7 ½ to 14 in. diameters.
