I received my signature series chop master blade today with the 58 arbor. When I removed it from the packaging it felt a little heavy so I weighed it. It was 10.5 oz heavier than the blade I removed! I then installed it on my DeWalt sliding compound miter saw. First cut I thought I missed the board?? Moved the piece back into the blade path and again the blade dropped through the white oak like it was not there! WOW!! Unbelievable! It's not like I had a cheap blade in the saw before. I was using a $110 90-tooth Freud. Brand new! The difference was night and day!! I think the extra weight of the Forrest was one reason for the improved performance.
Forrest blades never cease to amaze me. Everytime I install one in any of my saws it performs so much better than the blade it replaced I can't explain it? I think they sprinkle each blade with pixie dust before each shipment? Whatever they do it's working. Keep up the good work Forrest. You have a customer for life with me!
PS-- The lady that answers the phone is top notch! She's very knowledgeable, speaks perfect English and is very polite and a pleasure to talk with.

Product: The Micro-Jig Gripper
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
I bought the Gripper about 5 years or more ago. I really liked it for all the demonstrated reasons advanced by the manufacturer. In time, the green gripper pads lost its gripping qualities. I tried roughing the surface and applying various topical treatments to restore the gripping qualities, but nothing worked. After abandoning the use, I incurred an accident on my table saw (all digits still intact). I hate the thought of re-investing in the product again, but would do so to avoid a more serious accident. Does anyhow have any sure fire method for restoring the gripping qualities of the pads?
My rating is a 3 only due to the loss in gripping ability with the green grip pads. The Gripper meets all other representations.
Hi Tom - You can use rubbing or denatured alcohol to clean your gripper. Here is a quick video describing how you can restore the gripping quality of your Gripper. See link below:

In Nov 09 I bought the 12" Chopmaster...what a great blade. I just bought the WWII for my table saw. Over the weekend I ripped 6000 LF of 1x & 2x Western Red Cedar. The last LF was ripped as clean as the first LF. My only regret was not getting this blade sooner.
