Review on 🔪 Freud 8-inch x 40T Thin-Kerf Combination Blade - Improved SEO by Steven Notsinneh

Blade cuts great BUT. Its size is almost 1/4 inch smaller than a regular 12 inch blade. (Freud's Home Depot Diablo Blade shown for comparison.) This deflection proves difficult when cutting large crown moldings or anything else at an angle or bevel. You end up with a clean cut in 99% of your material, and then the blade can't reach the last part, so you have to keep pushing the handle down hard. That's bad for the saw and especially bad for the material because you're taking the saw off the plane. I'm really unhappy because I can't use the blade for anything with straight cuts. Frued really needs to be the right size if they want carpenters like me to keep using their product.
