Makes Clean Finish Cuts in Wood and Delicate Molding
Achieving attractive results when working with fine finish material is all about clean, accurate cuts. The Freud D1280X makes this process easy, fast, and precise. To save you time, most cuts made by this blade require little to no sanding.

Trim carpenters, fine cabinetmakers, and avid do-it-yourselfers will want to keep this blade on hand for those special jobs that call for making smooth crosscuts in fine finish work. Appropriate application materials include oak, pine, melamine, veneer plywood, and delicate molding.

Produces Smooth, Quiet Cuts with Laser-Cut Kerf
The Freud D1280X's clean-cutting design means that you can enjoy the comfort of smooth performance. The thin 0.118-inch kerf between the blade's 80 Hi-ATB (alternate-top bevel) teeth is laser cut to provide ease of feed, so you have more control over the blade's position. This helps maximize both the accuracy of the cut and the efficiency of your work, so you enjoy a job well done and the ability to complete more tasks in less time.

An added bonus, the blade's laser-cut stabilizer vents reduce noise and vibration during operation, keeping your work environment more relaxed and your hands more in control. This feature also reduces friction and warping, helping to extend the blade's cutting life.

Features Shock-Resistant Carbide for Long-Lasting Precision
So you can count on it over the long term, the Freud D1280X is designed for durability. The blade's hardy teeth are protected by Freud's exclusive shock-resistant TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formula, which helps fight wear and tear and maintains blade sharpness up to four times longer than standard carbide. And protecting the blade is Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating that provides resistance to heat and corrosion.

Fits Miter Saws
The Freud D1280X is a great addition to your workshop because it's designed with the versatility to fit a variety of miter and sliding miter saws.

This product is covered by Freud's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

I bought this blade with somewhat high expectations. I figured the cut wouldn't be as smooth as the Freud LU85, which is twice the price, but had to be smoother than the stock 40 tooth blade that came with my bosch 4212L, which it was. One small problem - the blade did not make a straight cut. Every cut I made had a scallop at the entry point of the blade into the material. The blade was straight when checked against a straight edge so the edge must oscillate as it spins. A check with the stock blade and a new Dewalt woodworking blade confirmed that the saw cuts perfectly straight. I definitely won't buy another diablo blade. I would give 5 stars to Amazon for their return policy - they took it back with no issue.

I had high expectations when buying this blade. I bought it to install hardwood flooring and needed perfectly straight cross-cuts.

I used this blade on a new Ridgid 12 inch compound miter saw.

This blade cuts a scallop upon entering the wood for about a 1/8 of an inch then it cuts straight for the rest of the cut. The result is that when the wood is lined up against something straight there is a definite concave line in the middle where the wood should be touching the flat surface but isn't. It's maybe a 1/32 gap but a gap is a gap and when paying $60 for a high quality saw blade there shouldn't be any gaps.

I triple checked my miter saw alignment and even completely removed the fence and reinstalled it to ensure that it was on proper and square. It was. I checked the blade against a square and found it to be flat. I tried changing the speed of my cuts. Cutting very slowly made the cuts worse, leaving ridges throughout the cut. Cutting faster didn't make a difference.

I took this diablo blade off and put on the OEM Ridgid 60 tooth blade that came with the saw, checked for square and made a few cuts. The result: perfectly straight cuts. My conclusion is that the diablo blade deflects upon initial contact with the wood but rights itself after sufficient penetration.

I must note that I used the blade to cut Madrone which is an extremely hard and dense wood. Harder than Maple and Red Oak. I don't know if this blade would have the same cutting problems on a softer wood but according to the manufacturer this blade is suitable for hardwood flooring.

I was hesitant after reading some other reviews regarding blade deflection and reports of not cutting straight.

However, I have been very happy with my other Diablo blades, and decided to give this blade a try for my 12" DeWalt saw.

The blade is thinner than my others, so the kerf is smaller. I put in some scrap lumber and tried to produce the problems the other reviewers noted. I found with hard woods and thicker stock, if you push too hard when the blade enters the wood, it will deflect and produce the concave scallop just as the others described. However, if you allow the teeth to cut with less hand pressure, this blade cuts perfectly straight.

So- keep in mind this is a thinner blade, and will deflect a little if you push too hard. Let the saw do the work.

UPDATE: After several days of trim and finish work, I have found you really have to baby the blade in order to get a straight cut, and I am unhappy with that. In addition, a 45-degree bevel through a pine 1x8 was nearly impossible. Non-beveled cuts are much better, but I expected much higher quality.

I will be returning this item and looking for other alternatives.

I am going to have to disagree with some of the other people who have reviewed this blade.

For some time now, I have been using a Freud Industrial LU91R012 crosscutting blade (purchased from Amazon some time back) in my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw. (I have reviewed this saw on two different woodworking sites.) The blade works well. However, I decided to get a backup blade to handle less demanding work. (I have the OEM blade that came with the saw, but it is only fit to do really rough and tumble cutting.)

I purchased the Freud Diablo D1280X, because I have had good luck with other Freud Diablo blades, although those were general-purpose and ripping types. I also have used two different Freud Industrial ripping and general-purpose blades, and they worked no better than the Diablo versions, as best I can tell. The Industrials may have a very slight edge, but it is slight, and their only real advantage is that the thicker carbide allows for more sharpenings than with the Diablo versions.

As with the LU91, I purchased the D1280X from Amazon, and after using it I will say that it works as well as the LU91. Indeed, in some ways it works better. It cuts faster, in spite of having more teeth (80 vs 72) and also does a better job of kicking sawdust up into the dust port at the back of the saw head. This is because it has a slight positive hook instead of the negative hook of the LU91. (Negative hooks tend to throw dust straight back instead of swinging it upward.) In addition, there is no workpiece lift that I can determine, which makes one wonder why a negative hook is even needed. It also seems to cut just as cleanly.

All in all, I give this blade five stars, and when it and the LU91 finally wear out (after getting the LU91 sharpened as many times as it can tolerate) I will replace both with another D1280X - probably purchased from Amazon, just like all of my other Freud blades.
