How have you found different width blades in the mafell? I know theirs are slightly thinner than Festool etc.

I've found the tooth pitch and design is more important than the manufacturer. I wouldn't cut melamine with the same blade as 18mm Mdf and even ply benefits from a slightly lower pitch than mdf. If you are ripping wood it tends to want a really low pitch.
Its a pain to have to change between them but it's cleared up any issues I had with the saw burning, bogging down or chipping edges.

I like CMT. Haven't had any issues with DeWalt (Extreme?) either.

What’s everyone’s favourite plunge saw blade? I’ve had Mafell, Trend, Bosch and Freud. All have been pretty good but none amazing.
Freud is probably in the lead but maybe there’s one I’m missing... mostly birch ply in various thicknesses but also some melamine faced stuff and all sorts of other sheet material.
