I bought this saw blade for my table saw because my saw is small and somewhat underpowered but as soon as I put the blade on my saw I saw an increase in power. To test the blade I cut 3/4" red oak and 3/4" red oak plywood and all I can say is WOW! The cuts were super smooth and there was no tearout in the plywood. I used it to rip, crosscut, and cut miters and every cut is amazingly smooth. I highly recomend this blade for any smaller or underpowered table saw.

I bought this blade after trying a more expensive Ridgid blade of similar construction which produced an unacceptably rough cut. Then, I tried a Porter Cable blade. I liked the cut on that blade, but it wasn't as smooth as the Freud blade in my worm drive saw. That Freud blade produces glass smooth cuts. The PC blade left subtle saw marks in the cut material. I bought the Freud Diablo, and installed it into my table saw. It produces square, smooth cuts that require no sanding. The cuts can be glued and clamped, or finished without additional surfacing after the cut. This blade is amazing, and is the best blade that has ever seen action in my portable table saw.

I bought this blade to use with my 10" contractor saw. I am a active woodworker and need good sharp,clean cutting blades. This blade is a good buy for the money but does seem to burn oak just a little and the blade is thin enough to deflect during a tough cut. I also have a 50 tooth Freud that is not thin kerf like this blade... Overall, the full kerf blade is the better of the two...but it is more expensive and may not work as well with some underpowered saws. For the money, I would buy this blade again. My experience with getting Freud blades sharpened has been dissapointing. I sure wish they would set up a Freud owned sharpening service for their customers in the USA.

I can't say enough about this blade. I bought this blade mainly for cross cutting hardwoods on my sliding miter saw. I had an 80 tooth blade before and would only burn hardwoods on cross cuts. This blade glides through cuts with ease and even leaves a very good finish on the cut. 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. I have a pretty good saw, but the thin kerf design would allow weaker saws to make great cross cuts as well. I like this blade so much that I'm probably going to replacing the blade in my table saw (bosch 4000) with this one. That blade is a Freud 40 tooth, but this blade is just so much better with hardwoods. It just makes working with hardwoods nice and easy.

This blade cuts through oak and maple wood like butter. It replaced a Makita blade that scorched wood and labored through cuts. The Home Depot carries Diablo blades, but not the 50 tooth one. This is a great value for a blade made in Italy.

This blade makes a big difference in smoothness of cut and reduces vibration. I have always liked Freud but didn't realize how much better they are until I recently tried another brand. I will only use these blades in the future.

I love these blades and will never go back to the box store blades again!!

great blade put it on my 10 inch dewalt construction table saw and it was super quiet when it cut. never knew that was possible. great saw been using it bout 2 months and have no problems with it. i use it for plywood and 2x4 and some hardwood. glad i purchased this blade. will buy again. also the price was cheaper on amazon than a lot of other places.

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! 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! It make's this really cool sound and even cooler cuts!I am very impressed and will buy another for back up! I wasen't sure about thin kerf blade's.... But this blade won't dissappoint!!!!!

This blade was my first move into thin kerf, modern blade technology. What a thrill! This blade, as the old expression goes, cuts like a hot knife through butter. My 1 3/4 HP table saw appears to have developed new vitality just because of the excellence of this blade. I am sold on the value of better quality blades and would certainly recommend this blade as being a member of that class. Money well spent.
