Great saw blade! cut's through all wood like butter, even wet pressure treated lumber without building up residue. I will be purchasing similar blades for my table saw as well!

AFTER USING OTHER MITRE SAW BLADES, SUCH AS DEWALT THIS IS BY FAR THE FINEST CUTTING BLADE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND THIS IS A GENERAL PURPOSE BLADE. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY AND SMOOTH CUTS. IT IS A TRUE THIN KURF CUT. FREUD BLADES ARE MANUFACTURED IN ITALY, DEWALT IN CHINA. NEED I SAY MORE! FREUD EVEN HAS A PATENT ON THE RED COLOR OF THEIR BLADES AND A LIFETIME WARRANTY TO BOOT. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY AND ESPECIALLY THE PRICE AT AMAZON.

I replaced a worn 80-Tooth Tenryu blade that came with my used Bosch Sliding Compound Miter Saw 5412L1 and I'm glad I did. The first cut was as smooth as a baby's butt. I've been too busy to use it much, so I have no feedback on longevity. I don't regret the purchase and I highly recommend it for those do-it-yourselfers like myself. I've got alot of projects planned and I'm confident the broad spectrum ability of this blade will work for my deck build as well as crown molding here in the near future. I'll update with more feedback when I've put it through its paces.

I use this blade primarily for framing. I have it in a Dewalt DW708 scms. Cuts fast + clean and lasts a long time. For cutting 2x pine studs, plates, blocks, etc.- this is the blade you want. Also the picture they show is different than the blade I received. On the blade I was sent the hook angle of the teeth is less aggressive and the gullet's are not as deep.

Freud Diablo saw blades have been my choice for years. I am not a professional carpenter, merely a retired DIY'er 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. Smooth, precise cuts can be achieved while alternating between delicate moulding for her book cases and large pressure-treated 4 X 6 timbers for my barns. This eliminates having to change blades with every different stick of lumber that comes along.

Most new saws do not come with Freud Diablo blades. I save the new stock blades for projects that are constructed from old lumber that is embedded with nails and save the Diablo blades for the good stuff.

Is there some kind of connection here between Freud Blades and Sigmund Freud?

Freud Blades cut straight.

Old Sigmund sliced his wood up in all kind of screwball angles and none of his pieces ever seemed to fit together.

Men need to stay with what works right.

I've been in the process of renovating a foreclosure house I purchased and needed some new blades for my saws. I picked up this blade and have been blown away by the performance. They last a lot longer than many other blades you'll find and the cuts are smooth and even. Highly recommended.

I bought this blade for use on a Dewalt 718 miter saw, and have been very impressed with this blade. I use this mainly for cutting 2x4's and other rough lumber. Cuts are fairly smooth, effortless, and quiet. There's a little more tearout when compared to a Forrest chopmaster (which i use for finish/trim work), but for the price, it's a great blade.

As always, works great! I operate a local handyman operation and go through a few saw blades. Freud has never failed me. I have Freud blades that have been resharpened 4+ times and keep on going. This replaces one I used for framing. Perfect cuts....Every Time!!

I bought a Dewalt 12 inch miter saw, came with a Dewalt blade. I didnot like so i bought a Diablo D1244x blade from amazon, i had bought one for my 10in miter saw I LOVE BOTH OF THEM, i will never buy anything else

After owning a 10 in freud blade in my tablesaw for the last 4 years I was eager to step up on my cutoff saw
this blade is balaced accurate and a pleasure to work with quality control is exactly what you would expect from freud used as a weekend shop this is the only brand I will ever use.
