I believe it was StumpyNubs @ youtube who recommended Ridge Carbide, but they're expensive. https://ridgecarbidetool.com/collections/table-saw-blades/products/10-x-40t-ar-4-1-15-hk-094-125-ts2000-super-combo-blade
I haven't used them yet but I'm definitely buying one when I need another blade.
Heat kills the blade, and longer rips will cause the blades to get hotter than short rips. These carbide blades are supposed to do really well at staying cool.
I’ve seen his recommendation too but that’s another 2x price jump over the price range I’m already trying to avoid!
High quality blades can be professionally sharpened multiple times. Blades from Big Box stores generally cannot. That being said, Diablo's are fine for home user, IMO.
I forgot exactly how expensive they were when I posted. Sorry
