Decent saw blade would be better on a bigger saw. [Posted on 2008-01-09]
This was the first expensive (to me atleast) blade I ever bought for my table saw. Good ripping blade, I wish I would have gotten the Glue Line Rip blade because I didn't have a jointer at first. Definitely made my saw seem more powerful.
Not too good of a crosscutting blade, atleast not on my table saw which is a cheapy craftsman and I have experienced burn when ripping oak although I can't blame that all on the blade as my table saw is definitely more than to be desired.
I am in the process of buying a higher quality cabinet saw and can't wait to use this blade on it.

Smoothest Cut I Ever Saw From A Blade [Posted on 2008-07-06]
I bought this blade after trying a more expensive Ridgid blade of similar construction which produced an unacceptably rough cut. Then, I tried a Porter Cable blade. I liked the cut on that blade, but it wasn't as smooth as the Freud blade in my worm drive saw. That Freud blade produces glass smooth cuts. The PC blade left subtle saw marks in the cut material. I bought the Freud Diablo, and installed it into my table saw. It produces square, smooth cuts that require no sanding. The cuts can be glued and clamped, or finished without additional surfacing after the cut. This blade is amazing, and is the best blade that has ever seen action in my portable table saw.

Decent blade at good price [Posted on 2008-08-31]
Purchased for table saw. Works fine as a combo blade. perhaps not the best in the market but certainly one of the best in its price range. Permashield coating works well to keep resin/pitch and rust off blade body.

Good Blade for the Money [Posted on 2008-09-17]
I bought this blade to use with my 10" contractor saw. I am a active woodworker and need good sharp,clean cutting blades. This blade is a good buy for the money but does seem to burn oak just a little and the blade is thin enough to deflect during a tough cut. I also have a 50 tooth Freud that is not thin kerf like this blade... Overall, the full kerf blade is the better of the two...but it is more expensive and may not work as well with some underpowered saws. For the money, I would buy this blade again. My experience with getting Freud blades sharpened has been dissapointing. I sure wish they would set up a Freud owned sharpening service for their customers in the USA.

good 1st upgrade blade [Posted on 2008-09-22]
This saw blade replaced a fairly beat up (I think) 20-something tooth on the used delta saw I bought from craig's list. Initially I was dissapointed b/c the delta didn't really cut any better than the cheapo $80 saw it was intended to replace. I switched the blade, and the cut noise went from a clattering brrrananaaannnnaaaangggg to a very consistent (and quieter!) nzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt, and before I even had a chance to look I knew I had a better cut. Veneered ply cuts with no chipping on top now, and just a bit on the bottom. The cut itself has very consistent and small swirl marks, like a machined metal surface. The stock feeds with a buttery smooth feel that I wasn't expecting, consistent easy and reliable.

If you've experience with lots of table saws and lots of blades this blade may not amaze you. If you've only had the stock blade on your saw and you're thinking 'Well, $35 seems like it ought to be a nice upgrade' then you're right. The difference is night and day with the coarse and possibly (by now) beat up blade that came with your saw.

Only had the blade a bit now, but very pleased so far.
