for all around carpentry (not framing), how many teeth should my electric 10 inch miter saw blade have and how many should my skill saw have as well as my table saw. they are both 7 inch blades. I want most versatile. I do some trim work and build bookcases and stuff like that. thanks steve

The more teeth the better.

"How many" teeth depends upon what you can afford.

Your mitre saw should have a ATB tooth grind (alternate top bevel). 60 to 80 teeth, 10 deg. hook, cutoff (crosscut) blade.

I don't know about a 7" table saw blade... never seen one, but I'd select a Combination Blade. ATB & FT (flat tooth like a chisel)teeth or ATB+R (raker- ground slightly lower) usually they are around 50 teeth

For your circ saw go with a general purpose blade.
