V groove track saw blades that cost $30 not $500 like the festool one!

I've got a Makita track saw and a cheaper grizzly one.
I've been wanting a V track saw blade for over a year, but no way in hell was I going to pay $500 for the festool blade. highway robbery.
Just found this blade and ordered it
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/8mm-Thick-with-12-Teeth-V-Type-Woodworking-Carbide-Slotting-Saw-Blade-for-Aluminium-Plastic-Plate/2042841537.html

they also sell different teeth width and diameter sizes.

Anyways, finally found a blade for $30 that is reasonable. Hope this helps someone else.

These are not $30 but it is another place to look for Aluminum Blades and ACM Blades and Router Bits.

thanks for the tip. Have you used that resellers' v groove blade at $180 its 5 times more expensive then the direct from China one AND IT ONLY WORKS ON TABLE SAW? SORRY, doesnt' seem to be worth it but if you have personal experience with it please let me know.

here's my review, works great, just need to add a washer to bring blade out and grind down some of the faceplate aluminum for clearance.
