Porter-Cable Razor - 10" TS Blade

Great review Jeff.

It does have a weird tooth configuration doesn’t it?

Something like that may turn me to trying it out, just because of that.

My blade supply is adequate for now, but I’ll look into it, when I need a new one.

Thanks, Dick.

I have to agree with you about trying it out because of the tooth configuration. It wasn’t a hard sell because it makes sense. Larger teeth with a deeper gullet to tear away material and then the smaller, shallower gullets come behind and clean it up. Pretty well I might add. The figured Cherry I cut did not suffer any burn marks.

Jeff – thanks for the well-written review. It sounds like a great blade for moderate use.

Jeff – I have been using this blade for quite a while now and like it very much. I use it on a 3hp Griz 1023 so even the bigger saws do well with it. So far it has stayed very sharp and the only down side that I can see will be I probably won’t get it resharpened. I’ll just buy a new one they are so inexpensive.

I’ve had similar experience with this blade and wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again. Good stuff.

looked up the blade on Amazon. it is 34 and change. I searched for the model number 100VT50
and also came up with the same razor blade under the Oldham brand fro 42 bucks.

Thanks for the additional feedback on this product fellas. It’s good to hear from others who’ve used it with similar satisfaction. Interesting about the Oldham find, Dan. I wonder who licensed it from who? Maybe Delta/PC snatched up Oldham. Who can keep track anymore…

Grizzly has them in the catalog at 29.95 for the 10 inch and 9.95 for the 71/4 inch blades.

bought one today at the Dewalt center. Cost 39 bucks.

Will comment more when I’ve got a little use out of it.

Upon the recommendations in this review, I purchased the Razor 100DT50 blade a couple of months ago at HD for $27.00. I’ve been using it regularly, cutting pine, oak, maple, poplar, walnut, plywood and hardboard. I get nice clean edges and the stock feeds easily. Overall I’m very pleased with the blade and particularly satisfied with the cut quality vs price result. Yes, a WWII, Freud, or some others may give a slightly cleaner cut, but this blade works well for anything I’m doing and I would give it an 8.5-9.0 rating on a 1-10 scale.

Thanks for the review, Jeff. This looks interesting.
