Review on Freud D1244X Diablo 12-inch 44 Tooth ATB General Purpose Miter Saw Blade with 1-inch Arbor for Enhanced SEO by George Bridgewater

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The slot is too thin for big 45 degree angle cuts

Today I tried to make some test cuts on a 2x4 pine using a Ridgid table saw. Cut with almost no resistance. The blade is evenly balanced. I was impressed at $35. Without tears. Most blades work well initially, so we'll see how well they cut after a few months. I only use it for framing wood. More than enough for that. I have been working with wood for over 20 years and have tried many blades. This one looks good out of the box. I have a good feeling about it. Update: The blade is too thin for beveling 1x6 boards at 45 degrees for fitting outside corners. The blade flexes so you don't get a perfect angled cut so the parts don't fit together perfectly. This one is way too thin for that. May be ok on narrower boards.

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
