🪚 High-Performance Makita T-01410 6-1/2 inch 40T Fine Crosscutting Carbide-Tipped Circular Saw Blade Review

These are the best blades I've found for my Makita cordless saws, but they're not quite $21+. You either need to sell them in bulk for significantly less, or just lower the price. I won't buy again until the price drops.

Haven't used this blade yet. So I don't know if it will last as long as my old Makita carbide blade. But my old Makita is building a 28 by 34 garage, there are 2 basements on the patio. And it still works, just like the saw I've been using for 30 years.

I bought this blade to get a clean cut when cutting plywood and I have had excellent results compared to the factory standard 24 tooth blade. This blade leaves a cutting edge of the glue. The feed rate is a bit slower, but that's to be expected. The factory blade left chips on the plywood. This blade has not. I am very happy with this knife and would recommend it.

Buried in the rain in an old farmer's crate going to the rubbish collection tomorrow. There I found an old PC 18V 6 1/2" circular saw. I took it home disassembled and fixed it with a new battery and this blade. Cuts 2x4 like butter. A very good blade goes a long way in keeping that old saw out of the landfill. I recommend!

On a 6.5 inch blade it's almost too smooth. (Unless you're an interior decorator.) 40 provides a smooth cut and finish. Takes a little longer than my standard 16 tooth disc. 24 is probably the best place for a 6.5 inch blade. If not doing interior cabinet work again then go for 40. Great product as is everything Makita has. Image standard 16 teeth vs. 40 teeth

Great set, no thrills, workhorse in the saws. Specially for a 16 tooth blade. I've been using Diablo 24 tooth for a long time. I was making a wooden frame out of fresh wood and needed something with deeper gulps so I gave it a try. It works well. As with any blade, you should not overheat it. Let them cool or you'll end up with a chic extension that may or may not affect straight long cuts.

I have been using Makita tools since the first Makita tool offering was in the early to mid 80's. We once had a project where the site manager and his steel frame screwed up and forgot to account for pouring 1.5" lightweight concrete. Bad decision by the contractor from a professional standpoint, but the only inexpensive way around this is to cut off the bottom of the 80" Stanley Steel doors. Cut 156 doors with a Makita blade and still use it to cut wood. then it was 1985.

The blade that comes with most new 18V saws has what Makita calls an ultra fine cut blade, model A-85092. This helps the batteries last longer by removing the thinner strip of wood. The replacement A-85092 is much more expensive than this T-01404, so I ordered the cheaper one. When it arrived I measured the width of both blades with a cheap micrometer. The used A-85092 blade was 4.5 hundredths of an inch, and the new T-01404 blade (with some sort of thick protective clear coat) was 5 hundredths
