Diablo Framing Saw Blade for Wood - 7-1/4" Diameter, 24 ATB Teeth, 5/8" Arbor, .059" Kerf, 15° Hook Angle, .040" Plate, 8000 Max RPM - D0724X

Cheap, cuts like no other blade, cheap, cuts like no other blade, cheap... you get the picture.Don't even bother with any other blade for construction purposes. This thing zips through wood like a lazer! It even lasts a long time!The only reason I even have other blades is for when I am cutting boards that either do or might have nails or staples. Hitting even a single nail with these blades can cause you to lose a tooth or two, but who cares! They're cheap!A hot tip I learned @ [...] (an excellent woodworking site), is that you can use these in your tablesaw! I use them often in my ancient Craftsman table saw anytime when I don't need the full height of a 10 inch blade or when I am ripping recycled lumber with possible contaminants such as paint or nails.This saves me a ton of money and and wear and tear on my good blades and I always have either a nice sharp blade or a beat up used blade as the case merits!

This is an excellent value in a thin-kerf, general purpose disposable blade. The coating works well, as does the thin-kerf design- you have to be really lax on providing material support for this blade to bind. I use it for general construction, mostly 2x4 and 4x4 cuts, but have been impressed how little splintering I get when cutting plywood down to size- and that's not something this blade is designed to do. The teeth are very, very sharp and retain their edge. While using one of these blades to cut 1x6 cedar fence planks to size, I carelessly laid the plank too close to a steel wheelbarrow I was using for support. The thing went right through both plank and the wheelbarrow tub. Yes, stupid and careless, and it cost the blade a couple of teeth and me much embarrassment. But it kept cutting all day, and cut well- impressive.

These cost more than the cheap blades I always used to buy but are worth many times more and they have convinced me to stop buying the cheap crap. They cut SO much better and easier and last way longer and make it easy to produce more accurate cuts as well. Literally a pleasure to use. No more burning wood, dull and warped blades, lousy cuts, and aggravation!

Good brand name in bladesNever disappointed for the money

From the price and the look one might think these are "throw-away" blades in the pejorative. But no, after many many cuts, a close examination under a 20x microscope shows almost no wear to the itty-bitty carbide tips. These blades are thin and light, but precise and surprisingly robust. The thin kerf means less power is required to cut through a given board. This really matters in 5/4 plywood or hardwood decking, but means faster work everywhere else. They are only "throw-away" because they cost less than the price of sharpening them. There might be enough carbide in the tip for one re-sharpening, but it would not be cost effective. I welcome ideas in the comments section for how to recycle these beauties. Highly recommended to the hobbyist and professional alike.

Expendable parts are a normal need for any project. Diablo blades give me added time use for all my projects with their durability. I’m not changing out as often and they cut so nice. Wear safety always and enjoy your project👍

I've cut wood and thick urethane with this blade, a lot. It's still very sharp. It's been abused (hit a few nails in repurposed lumber) but it went through them before I knew I hit them except for the spark. I checked the tooth set and it's fine. Very durable blade.

Could not ask for any better saw blade.Makes a cheap saw cut like a million bucks.Better know you are on the line or use a guide if you are used to using a slow cutting blade previously because it makes quick work out of plywood, 2X8 studs & yes even hardwood. I've unknowingly ran it through several 2" staples & it zipped thru them without hesitation & left no nicks in the blade that I could find.Great blade !!!
