    Will a diamond blade (.023 kerf) cut 3/32 slits in walnut that are cross cut for guitar fret board. I have 5/8 arbor on 10 inch table saw. Will a 4″ blade fit on a 10 inch table saw (with proper arbor)?

      I have never tried either of these so I can’t comment from experience. If the arbor is the right size on the 4″ blade I don’t see any reason that it wouldn’t fit.

    For other man made products like melamine and MDF are these the best blade for those products?
