Great Blade [Posted on 2007-11-14]
I bought two of these blades last year to get the free shipping. Yes, somehow Amazon had a great introductory price on these blades so I had to buy two to get the order over $25. I am using one of the blades on a maple dresser I am building for my my grandaughter. Fantastic cuts. Even crosscuts on the 1/2 birch plywood for the drawers are great. Highly recommended.

Junk [Posted on 2007-11-24]
I been in the carpentry business for many years and I never used such a bad blade in all of my life. This blade needed to be sharpened after 1 week and was only used on pine base board's. The only reason I tried this is I recieved a gift card. Save your money and do not buy this blade.

Best blade, best value [Posted on 2008-06-26]
I have used this blade on my Hitachi C12LCH miter saw for about ten months. When the saw was new and equipped with the factory blade I couldn't believe how poorly the saw cut. When I replaced the factory blade with Hitachi 90 tooth blade the difference was like night and day. For $45 I felt like I bought a new saw.

In my view this is the hands down winner for value in a 12-inch chop saw blade. It doesn't flex when cutting, doesn't sing on the saw and produces cuts so smooth the cut surface looks like its been finish sanded with no tear out. Really an outstanding product at any price but for $45 it just can't be beat.

I use this blade for finish carpentry and cabinet building. I am usually cutting oak, cedar, poplar, pine, maple and occasionally plywood. The blade has never been sharpened since I installed it and shows no signs of dulling yet.

Minimal Usage [Posted on 2008-07-04]
Haven't used it a whole lot but so far a great blade. Used it only in pine and fir so far soooo we'll see how it does in harder stuff later. I rarely give 5 stars unless the product really stands out beyond the rest so not taking away from this blade I give it a 4 star rating.

Good blade for fine trim. [Posted on 2008-09-27]
This blade seems to perform very well. However, it is not thin kerf. At least not by my definition. It is so much thicker and heavier than the frued blades that I usually run, I have to slow down on repetitive cuts or the motor on my dewalt starts cooking. (Got so hot it smelled up the house with burned plastic smell) To much fly-wheel effect. Would work great in different application such as stair building. Especially since there is less deflection with this thicker blade.
