Popular Post Tom King Posted October 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I ordered one of these to cut T111 with, working on the shop building. With a saw guide, it cuts as pretty a cut as a Forrest blade, and for a fraction of the cost. It also is not hard to hand guide it for a good cut. I'm going to keep one on this saw, that I have 3 of, for cutting plywood. I cut a YP 2x with it as a trial, and it cut it easily and cleanly too. It's a good blade for not tearing up the end of something. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062KI7BQ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Cuts are with and without a guide, and untouched after sawing. I am a professional carpenter for 48 years, and this is the best cutting blade I've ever had on a circular saw. It does put a lot of really fine dust in the air, so should be used outside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 My problem with Freud blades has been great out of the box, poor longevity... Hope you have better luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonPacific Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I've had good luck with Freud blades in my circular saws. Tablesaw and chopsaw blades I've seen similar quick dulling issues, but that may just have been a factor of how much I use particular tools.

Tom King Posted October 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I agree that I'll never buy another one to use on a tablesaw, or mitersaw, but I consider circular saw blades to be disposable, and at this price it's not a worry. I don't know if the amazon price is really 35% off of what you would normally buy one for, but for less than 20 bucks it's worth it to not have to deal with frazzled up edges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Quick dulling on the industrial line or the diablo line? I have had what i consider good luck with the industrial line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had what i consider good luck with the industrial line. +1 I have a couple diablo blades from when I first got started. They cut well, but seem to build up pitch and gunk faster than the industrial blades. Maybe the cutters don’t have as much of a relief grind? After cleaning they cut well again.

BillyJack Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 If your not using a saw that much it's not that important. Commercial shops rotate blades each week to be sharpened. They need to last atleast one week. Many high end shops have moved to Tenryu blades. Many sharpeners now offer CNC sharpening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
