Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This Freud TK303 Avanti 7-1/4-Inch 40-Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Finishing Saw Blade, with 5/8-Inch and Diamond Knockout Arbor blade, features expansion slots that are strategically placed to allow for blade-body expansion from centrifugal force and thermal expansion during actual use. Slots are used to prevent air turbulence and nearly eliminate vibration. Anti-kickback design takes the frustration out of many operations. Thin-kerf blade requires less energy to feed the material into the saw blade and eases the strain on your power tool. 7-1/4-inch, 40-tooth TK, 5/8-inch with optional diamond arbor (pop out center-piece with screwdriver for diamond arbor).

This review is from: Freud TK303 Avanti 7-1/4-Inch 40 Tooth ATB Thin Kerf Finishing Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch and Diamond Knockout Arbor (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this blade for my elderly Skilsaw. I have a very small shop and have to cut sheet goods outside, under the carport, before I can get them into my basement shop. I've always had to cut my piece's oversized and then trim them on the table saw to get nice finished edges, but this blade gives me a nice finished edge without the extra steps. I have used it on Oak veneer ply and melamine sheets and the chip out is very, very minimal and stalling and binding are non existant. I understand that the teflon coated version of this blade is even better. I find that hard to believe as this little blade is simply amazing. This is the third Freud saw blade I have purchased and they all perform beyond my expectations. I also use Freud blades on my table saw and miter saw. I highly recommend this blade to anyone needing nice cuts with a small saw.

When I put this blade on my old skil saw, I thought for sure someone had switched saws on me. If your skil saw is giving you any difficulty at all, try switching to this blade and see how it should be done! I've been cutting some 1/4" oak finish beaded paneling and I don't even have to turn it face down. My old saw blade would have chipped and torn out much of the oak finish if I tried to saw it face up. Not this blade. I rubbed the bottom of the saw with wax paper and away I went. Not a mark to be seen. Great blade!

If I've ever had proof that spending a few more $ for quality is worth it, this is it. Bought for project calling for 4 sheets of 3/4 plywood. Am using Asian Birch plywood. Almost all crosscutting being done with Milwaukee circ saw and now this blade. Wow! The saw glides (I mean realy glides) through the cut and with no splintering! I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
