Diablo General Purpose Saw Blade for Wood - 10" Diameter, 40 ATB Teeth, 5/8" Arbor, .098" Kerf, 15° Hook Angle, .071" Plate, 7000 Max RPM - D1040X

All diablo and freud blades are top notch...I don't even bother trying other brands after using these blades...they are thar good...cut so smoothly I thought something was wrong the first time I used one...it was way quieter and the wood fed through the blade effortlessly...a true game changer

Very happy with this purchase. I have the Forrest WWII and have been very happy with it, but I think I am now a Freud user going forward. My WWII had started to dull and while I shipped it off to be sharpened, I decided to spring for the D1040X. I had read several reviews on the Diablo series of blades and thought it sounded like it was worth a shot for $30.I was very happy with the decision. The D1040X has withstood a beating and continues to be razor sharp months later. I've done several projects with some very hard, dense woods, including a vanity out of hickory and a crib out of walnut and this blade hasn't once been anything except awesome. Cross and rip cuts have been crisp and tear out has been minimal.When my WWII is sharp, it performs similarly to the Diablo in those applications, but the differentiator for me and the thing that has impressed me the most about this blade is the stability. The chatter from this blade is nearly non-existent.When ripping thin strips or cutting chamfers, I have always had lots of chatter to clean up (even when my WWII is sharp), but this Diablo blade has really outperformed the WWII in that area.I will continue to use my WWII regularly, but I suspect I will be using these Freud blades as my "primary" blades going forward.

I bought this blade to construct 192 feet of dock 4' x 4' dock panels, made from pressure treated lumbar with a factory applied waterproof sealant . I was concerned with premature blade binding and dulling, as the wood was very saturated with preservative and each 5/4" x 6" x 8' board (actually a bit thicker than 5/4") was cut twice to fit the dock frame. I also had to cut many under structure 1" x 4" boards. In total, 192 5/4" x 6" boards - cut twice, and 72 1" X4" boards also cut twice! You get my point, lots of cutting...! Everything was cut with a Bosch sliding compound miter saw.This blade held up extremely well, it held nearly identical performance from the first cut to the last. While I did construct this dock over two days, most of the cutting was done in 3 sessions. The blade was excellent, the cut finish was also very good (not quite finish blade quality), particularly for a dock. I have several Freud blades and like many of the other reviewers, I feel they are precision made and the best, most durable blades at their price point (or perhaps any). Quality product!

You really have no idea how much of a difference a good quality saw blade makes till you step up and make the purchase! I stuck with the crummy 24T blade that came with my table saw and got plenty of good work done with it. But I finally decided to try one of the diablo blades. I was stunned by the difference! This blade cut through wood so quietly it literally almost turned into a safety incident! After installing the blade I went to make a test cut on some scrap 1x2. I pushed the scrap forward and at the point that I would normally "hear" the cut there was nothing so I figured something was wrong. I pulled the scrap back only to realize the blade had already cut a quarter into the scrap. It was that quiet! And everyone's assertions are right on the money. This blade cuts so cleanly it almost feels like it's been sanded to 180grit. The only "complaint" I would have is that every now and then a touch of the red rubs off on the stock. But hey, it's really cool to just have a red sawblade right?!?!? :D

Great blades.I am an amateur wood worker, but these are the best I have used by far.These blades give me such clean cuts and little tear out. Just the difference in the quality of cuts I can make is astounding. this 40 tooth cuts with ease, but also cleaner and smoother than my other brands 60 tooth blades.What makes these especially worth it is, making a clean cut the first time is worth so much money to me in frustration and time. When I couldn't get the right cuts with my nice shiny new Miter saw, I did a whole lot of research and ended up here. I love good quality products that do what they are supposed to the right way and this is one of those products.

Used it for cutting laminate flooring and did a great job initially. I thought I would get a longer life out of it but given the thickness of the flooring, maybe it was wishful thinking. Good blade otherwise.

Cuts are clean and blade cuts exceptionally well.
