This Frued 12" Miter Saw Blade has to be the best blade i've used on my Dewalt Sliding miter saw. This replaced the CMT blade i was using The CMT made Terrible cuts with a lot of Tare out and burn marks. Fried cuts smooth and clean with no tare out. This blade ranks with higher end blades.

  • Too heavy
Size: One Size Style: 12-Inch 96 Tooth ATB Crosscutting Saw Bl...
Why 4 stars? Cause the blade is way too heavy for my machine. I have two Makita 12" slide compounds. Awesome tools. In my 30 yrs. of woodworking I have used many saw blades . This Freud blade does give a superb cut, unquestionably. But when I power up my saw [either one] its increased weight gives a slight and continuous shudder to my Makita with this Freud blade while it was running. I could hear the motor really groaning to get it up to speed. It was obvious that this severe strain on the motor would lead to over heating a motor failure. So, after a few dozen cuts, I removed it. Now, it sets on my shelf as my emergency blade. Freud makes terrific blades, don't misunderstand. That's why I bought another Freud blade that I give 5 stars to. The Freud LCL129002pm 12" 90 tooth double miter is the cats meow. I have two of these, one on each of my Makita's. Clean cut, very clean, even on a veneer and at a 45 degree angle. [ I still use masking tape on my cuts if I have any doubt there will be tear out, of course. And, I power through the cut ever so delicately, as is proper. ] Oh, and when these blades get dull, you can be sure they won't be given to some local shop who throws any blade needing sharpening onto some universal sharpening jig they have with no regard whatsoever for the manufacture's specs. No, I am mailing my very expensive Freud blades back to the folks who made them, and will sharpen them correctly. ... show more
