Max I have is 60T (freud). Is great for cross cutting in terms of leaving a very fine cut and minimising tear out, but not so good for ripping. More effort to push through, slower and more likely to burn your work, and finer more airborne dust. I generally only use it if I am doing some cross cutting and really am afraid of potential tear out. The rest of the time I use a 24T (also freud). While the teeth are sharp even cross cutting leaves a near perfect splinter free finish.
I've never tried a 48T (I think this is what they call a combination blade?), but if I was going to go for one blade to rule them all I'd be tempted to try one.
80T seems overkill.

This is my 3rd table saw so hopefully up to speed by now....
Had a quick Look for a better blade. Is 80T overkill? Was thinking either 48 or 60T but there's not really much difference in terms of ££.
