1/16 wide carbide table saw blade.... videos located on rockler's site-- I'd have to save a heck of a lot of kerf to save $175 worth of sawdust though

Have to wonder if teeth that small and brazing that thin won't self-destruct against a good hard knot.

Looks like it's depth-limited with that big thick center section. Reminds me of a plywood blade I once owned that wouldn't cut more than 1" thick, but did that exceptionally well.

There must be some application where that blade is needed, but I don't know what it is. You can buy smaller (7 1/4") blades in kerfs down to about 1/16" (Makita) that are prized by guys who slice up boards into lots of 1/4" strips for building canoes. But those blades work fine in a tablesaw, and cost about 15% the price of the 10" one. Both blade types are similarly limited in cut depth.

If you wanted to use a Sawstop, that would be an argument for the 10" blade, so the cartridge would work. But there is even then some question as to whether the very thin blade would be strong enough to avoid crumpling with a Sawstop trigger. That's probably something Sawstop will test. If it can't stand up to that, I would expect them to warn about it.
