Review on πŸ”ͺ Diablo D1006DH Cement Saw Blade, 10-Inch, Multi-Purpose by Paul Beach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It cuts relatively clean, the blade lasts LONG, but oh the dust!

I'm paneling a house with HardiePlank and HardieShingle and using a Diablo D1006DH cement saw blade in a Dewalt table saw to cut 1-1 4" Starter to cut battens, long part boards, etc. This blade has held up really well - it doesn't have any discarded carbide teeth (unlike the Diablo 7-1/4" Hardie blade I bought and replaced). Diablo blades ( other than the 7-1/4" blade mentioned above; I also use the 12" Diablo blade in a miter saw) will definitely last longer than "regular" carbide blades which tend to smoke and charge up. If you lower the saw after a few cuts, these Diablo PCH blades will continue to cut at least several hundred feet of "cut" with no smoke, sticking, etc. The only complaint is the huge cloud of dust this blade produces;despite it According to the manufacturer, this drive generates no less dust than the standard carbide-tipped discs I used to cover another house with HardiePlank a few years ago. Overall, the Diablo D1006DH cement saw blades are better than standard carbide blades as they last MUCH longer than standard carbide blades.

Pros
  • The only James Hardier approved polycrystalline diamond (PCD) blade with a fiber cement tip. Developed by James Hardy and Freud Diablo for all James Hardier fiber cements
Cons
  • Not as thick as other materials
