🔪 Freud 8-inch x 40T Thin-Kerf Combination Blade - Improved SEO Review

Pleased with this choice, especially for this money. In my opinion, this blade is better than my regular Diablo blades. Will definitely be buying in the future and recommending to my other carpenter friends.

I have used several Diablo blades in the past and they have worked well. This blade is not smooth, it vibrates the material and burned the first board I saw. Not worth the high price. I use a blade in a table saw.

This worries me a little, I haven't used the blade and the carbide is already falling off the rest of the blade. Can't return it as I've already shipped the blade from the US, just hoping it doesn't come loose again once the blade is in use. Very disappointed

I love the size of this saw blade. The diameter is big enough to cut almost anything I need, but the smaller diameter gives a much better quality of cut than a 10 inch blade. Plus, the smaller diameter and narrow kerf make your saw MUCH better.

I purchased a 15" Hitachi miter saw from Craigslist (owned by a former Coasta) which had the original blade. Post so a good finish was required. I've used several blades in my table saw and other miter saws, but I keep going back to Freud. For the price, the quality and durability of the blade can't be beat.

I bought this blade to use with my Delta Super 990-10 radial saw. This blade was recommended by several other RAS users. I am very happy with the results. My saw only draws 10 amps and will stall at break if I use an oversized saw blade or a full kerf. I can tear through a truck dried Doug Fir 2x stick with ease with this blade.

I used this blade to split 8 foot 3/4 inch long pieces of tropical hardwood (Ipe, Massaranduba, Canary Wood) into two 5/16 inch pieces. In my case, this required a 4 inch depth of cut, which I was able to make in one pass. To my surprise, I got clean cuts with no smoke or burn marks. It helps to have a 5hp saw but is still an amazing feat. for the saw. Now this is the default canvas in my shop. Of course, less stressful cuts are also very easy to do.

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…
