I was tempted to use the 80 tooth blade, but this one did a fine job. I used this blade at home to cut engineered bamboo flooring with a miter saw. The edges came out perfectly and it cut smoothly and easily.
However, after I spent some time squaring the blade to the miter slot and re-aligning the fence, the cut quality increased greatly. I bought this blade as a replacement for the very worn DeWalt construction blade that came with my DW745 table saw. Overall, not bad blade quality, though I was hoping for a little more. Now it rips very cleanly with little to no burning, though crosscuts still get burned in hardwoods. At first, there was no immediate difference between the two. the Freud blade still burned every cut, especially crosscuts, and made rough edges.
It make's this really cool sound and even cooler cuts.I am very impressed and will buy another for back up. Boy, am I glad I bought this blade.I thought I had a good blade on my vintage CRAFTSMAN table saw.Won't mention any names but it costs $60.00 new and is made in germany. But this blade won't dissappoint. I wasen't sure about thin kerf blade's. This FREUD blade made my saw like new. At the first sound when I turned it on I new this was going to be fun.
I HAVE THREE TEN INCH FREUD SAW BLADES WORKING IN MY SHOP RIGHT NOW, IN CHOP SAWS AND ONE TABLE SAW, FOR MY MONEY I DON'T THINK YOU CAN GET A BETTER BLADE FOR THE MONEY. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS FOR SAW BLADES.
I had an 80 tooth blade before and would only burn hardwoods on cross cuts. I have a pretty good saw, but the thin kerf design would allow weaker saws to make great cross cuts as well.
That blade is a Freud 40 tooth, but this blade is just so much better with hardwoods. I like this blade so much that I'm probably going to replacing the blade in my table saw (bosch 4000) with this one.
I can't say enough about this blade. I've also noticed that when bringing the blade down for face cuts on a wide board that the saw doesn't bog down at all.
It just makes working with hardwoods nice and easy. I bought this blade mainly for cross cutting hardwoods on my sliding miter saw.
This blade glides through cuts with ease and even leaves a very good finish on the cut.
