I put this on my 20 year old craftsman radial arm saw. It really transformed this saw. I now look forward to using the saw a lot more. The Freud blade that it replaced produced a lot of chip out. Not this blade. Makes smooth cuts with very little splintering and no chip out.

This saw blade is very good adquisition for the price. I make cabinets and this saw blade work very good. I obtained a quality cuts with this blade.

I ordered this blade because it had great reviews and a great price but I didn't expect much. I have several Freud blades and I thought I'd just use this to rough cut my plywood. Turns out this blade is fantastic. Extremely sharp, quiet, clean edges, great finish. I'll definitely buy this brand for future purchases

I have been using this blade for a few weeks now and it is the best blade I have ever used, which includes Freud and Forrest blades. It cuts very smoothly with no chip out. And the price is so good that I just ordered another one. I put one of the 80 tooth Oshlun finish blades on my 20 year old radial arm saw, turned it into a new saw. I highly recommend this blade.

This blade isn't a thin kerf (tooth width) model which is common on most construction grade miter and contractor table saws. The blade is similar to that found in a cabinetry shop where blade vibration must be minimized. As such, this blade will "eat" more material, but the cuts should be smoother. It will also work best on table saws with more powerful motors, 2-hp or more.

I agree with the first review. This blade is a great bang for the buck. It's well made, has thick C-4 micrograin carbide, expansion slots with copper silencer plugs, and a stiff precision steel body. It's very capable of glue ready edges right off the saw, and does a good job in many materials...it does everything a dependable general purpose blade should do. It's not quite to the level of the $100 premium general purpose blades like an Infinity Super General or Forrest WWII, but it doesn't give up much either. It clearly outperformed my $60 40T CMT 213.040.10. Hard to go wrong at the price. Note that it's only available in a 1/8" (0.126") full kerf width, which will tax smaller saws more than a 3/32" thin kerf blade...still a safe bet if you don't rip thick hardwoods much. It gets a solid 4-Star rating for performance, and an easy 5-Stars for value.

Ok, Someone commented its not a thin kerf blade and its not AND its not sold as one. It might kerf a full 1/8 inch, (and I cant say I've measured because I'm making through cuts not dado's), it a solid blade that makes accurate and smooth cuts. I was most impressed by 1) I can cut Cherry and Maple plywood with little to no chip out and I can cut solid cherry stock without burning it. I have had it for several weeks and it still looks new. I do recommend good dust collection because this blade makes quite a touch of fine dust.

Also, since its an 80 tooth blade I think it relevant to disclose that I use it on my 3HP Cabinet Table Saw.

Oshlun makes the best saw blades I've ever used!!!

I use this 60 tooth on my miter saw and get super clean cuts in all kinds of wood! I have an Oshlun 50 tooth blade in my table saw for general cutting work and it handles everything just fine!! Even hen I cut plywood I don't get much chip out.

This is a great addition to my blade collections. I got it for a great price and it makes fast and accurate cuts. Its at least equal if not better than my Freud Combination blade but half the price. I use it all the time and I highly recommend it.

This is one nice blade for 25 bucks. It doesn't quite cut like a WW2 but for most jobs it does just fine. Haven't had it long enough to comment on how long it stays sharp.
