I don't think you should be using a table saw. You might hurt yourself!

get a carbine tipped blade the more teeth the smoother the cut
canadian tire usually sells them for a decent price

IMO don't buy a blade from CT or Sear's. Both tend to use softer carbide than others available.

I would suggest a Dimar Woodpecker series thin curf blade or a Frued Diablo series thin curf blade. Either on with about 40 teeth or so will give you a nice quick but relatively smooth cut. It will run you about $50-70 for either one but they also have enough carbide to be sharpened 3-6 times.

I personally use Dimar brand blades and love them (my 72 tooth runs about $190+ )

Well if you are so experienced with the CT or Sears blades then I am sure you also know that year to year their quality can change. I was using then rather extensively for almost 3 years and just got sick and tired of chipped teeth (maybe I should have said Carbide quality instead). At the TO wood show this year I bought some Dimar blades and have used them alot with not a single problem. My buddy runs mostly Feud at their production shop (mostly cutting MDF and particle board) and my god-father who uses Dimar in his millwork.

Not saying the cheaper ones are all bad (heck, one of the best blades I know of is a stock blade from a Delta cabinet saw my buddies shop bought) BUT you can rely on a company like Feud or Dimar to consistantly sell a good blade year after year.
