I use Freud blades on all of my saws and this one is just as good as the general purpose blade I use on my 10" miter saw.
It doesnt give completely clean cuts and I have to use a sacrificial board underneath the board being cut to completely avoid tear-out, but its still better than any other blade Ive tried on my 12" miter saw.
I use this blade on my 12" Dewalt miter saw. This blade is used mainly for "rough" cutting, but I have used it with fine trim work and it works fine. I recommend this blade, and I would purchase it again.
I wont buy any other saw blade ever again. These are the best cutting blades. Its like cutting through soft butter. Whats more, you dont end up with frayed, splintering edges on the back side.
The cuts are smooth and clean. After using one my son bought, I replaced the blades on my 10 inch chop saw, 12" miter saw, and 7" Rigid hand saw. They are that good!
I’m really glad I got this blade. I’ve been using it for awhile now and it has not disappointed. I usually get dewalts general blade and those seem to dull out fairly quickly. This was a great buy at a very good price.
I purchased a new DeWalt 12" double bevel miter saw and installed this blade without even attempting to use the blade that came with the miter saw.
I first became aware of the precision, super sharp diablo blade when I used one on my Skil circular saw for a big deck project, I was so pleased with the performance of that saw blade, this 12" is no different, a great saw blade that is laser precise and so sharp leaving smooth cuts on anything I cut.
This blade is awesome, and makes a noticeable difference in cut quality compared to the factory blade that came with my DeWalt miter saw.
My only complaint is that the DeWalt saw is designed for a smaller arbor size, and it is necessary to use a reducer (supplied by DeWalt) with this 1" arbor blade.
The reducer doesnt want to stay in position while the blade is being mounted, and I ended up having to use packaging tape to hold it in position while tightening the mount.
This is not Freuds fault, of course. I am very happy with this blade and would highly recommend it.
Price is good, quality is great. I don't know about longevity, as I've only used it for a couple of hours. I expect it will remain sharp and last as long as the DeWalt blades that I own. Nice thing about it is that it doesn't sing.
What a difference! This blade is night and day difference from even high end blades I was using from other name brand manufacturers (Dewalt). I immediately noticed that the saw is quieter when not under a load.
This is due to the small lines cut in the kerf to eliminate vibration. The fact that the kerf is thinner that a traditional blade greatly eliminates drag when cutting through a work piece.
The carbide teeth chew like a dream. After buying one of these for my circular saw, I immediately switched to Diablo blades for all my cutting tools. Very high quality.
Like every other saw blade diablo makes, this blade is the finest quality money can buy (at least of any I have tried in my 10 years of carpentry) razor sharp and very true.
It always amazes me how fast this thing goes through a piece of lumber compared to a factory blade that’s normally included with a saw.
Freud Diablo saw blades have been my choice for years. I am not a professional carpenter, merely a retired DIYer who uses a bunch of saws and loves the smell of sawdust.
These blades take years to wear out. I use this particular blade on a Rigid 12-inch sliding compound miter saw which weighs 68 pounds. The beauty of this blade is its versatility.
