Review on πŸͺš WEN BL1248: The Ultimate 12-Inch 48-Tooth Carbide-Tipped Saw Blade for Miter and Table Saws by Mike Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why pay more when this works?

I'm not a fan of disposables, but given the low cost and lack of people offering blade sharpening services, I settled on this blade. With proper use (removing nails from reclaimed wood) this blade is pretty good at making precise, clean cuts. However, if you hit a nail, you could very well lose a tooth and possibly even bend the blade on the tooth. Performance is equal to or better than blades that cost twice as much. You'll have to go for a fairly large (expensive) blade to find one that will work and can handle the occasional nail without ruining the blade. For these reasons I can recommend this blade for use in a circular or table saw.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
