Makita Max Efficiency 24T Framing/Ripping 7-1/4" Circular Saw Blade- this Saw blade is a Bang for the Buck! Take a look at the Pictures of the Cuts on Lumber and you'll notice that you're not gonna need a Finish Blade to achieve a finish and smooth cuts like that! this Makita saw blade can do it! I was surprised! You'll see the comparison between the previous blade that I was using the Freud Diablo 60T Ultra Fine Finish Circular Saw blade and the 24T Framing Blade by Makita and I can't believe This Makita saw blade can achieve a fine finish cut better than Freud Diablo 60T blade IF you cut your material really slow the blade can cut lesser tear outs and really smooth and finer cuts without having the need to switch for 40T or 60T Finish Circular Saw blades. This blade is Accurate! No Vibration, No Noise all I hear is the motor and the gear of the Saw and it's very precise tracking great for Rip Cuts too. Either Crosscuts, Rip Cuts, Bevel Cuts or Miter Cuts, Hardwood, Softwood, LVL/Beams, Pressure Treated Lumbers, Plywoods and OSB's all of them you can get very smooth cuts. I highly recommend this Makita Max Efficiency 24T ATAFR 7-1/4" Circular Saw Blade. Keep in mind this blade is only good for Clean Wood. But for Demolition? You might wanna use other saw blades that can cut thru nails and screws because this Makita ultra thin blade will fail. And that is the downside in this design. But for Cutting Clean Woods/Lumbers? This makita saw blade is Superior than Freud Diablo. *Update Review: 02/25/2023 I did a test comparison between the Makita Max Efficiency ATAF-R Ultra Thin Kerf blade VERSUS The Dewalt's Elite Series 40T Finish circular saw blade and I purchased the DeWalt blade last week and I put the blade on my circular saw to run some test cuts it is brand new. My old Makita blade is 2 months old, you'll see the photo above where the Dewalt's Elite Series finish blade is not that smooth and clean as the blade that I'm using The Makita. I thought it will do much better than the Makita blade but it turns out to be that the Makita Max Efficiency blade cuts much cleaner and smoother than the DeWalt. Y'all gotta get this Makita Max Efficiency ATAF-R Ultra Thin Kerf Circular Saw blade, I highly recommend it!!! ... show more

    • Great for quick cuts
Size: 1-Pc
This blade probably came with your saw, it did with my rear handle, and its one of the best. It stays sharp for a long time and can cut through anything, including 2+" thick white oak, like it's nothing. Obviously, its a little too rough for your plywoods (but its fine for breaking down sheets). There's nothing by Diablo & co that's in the same league imo, and their blades were more expensive. ... show more

    • Butter makes everything better!
Size: 3-Pc
I purchased a new makita hypiod saw, and retired my 40 year old one. It came with one of these blades. It cut through anything like butter! Unfortunately I cut through some nails and ruined the blade. So sad! I put on a new different brand blade, and found myself having to push my saw through the cuts. Found the 3 pack makitas on Amazon, and got 6 blades. The difference is unreal, don't run out, I'll be back. ... show more

    • Among The Best
Size: 1-Pc
These blades could easily be the best blades out there. Unfortunately, I have to order them because Freud has flooded the market. The Freudian blades are good too, but nothing like these. BTW, if you are a regular framer you won’t go wrong with Freud. But if you, like me, work to much finer standards (this isn’t saying anything about framers) this is a better blade. ... show more

Size: 3-Pc
Project farm told me to come here. I don't have any other makita tools but omg these guys are awesome. I run these on all my 7 1/4 inch saws except one sidewinder I keep a crescent nail slicer for demo. For clean wood this blade is an absolute beast. On a rear handle saw you can bottom out the depth and push this guy thru a stack of osb way way easier than a Dewalt, diablo, milwuakee, whatever other blades I've tried. Easier faster rips/cuts save battery in cordless saws by reducing bog and save time. Worth the purchase for sure ... show more

    • Project Farm was right
Size: 3-Pc
I had a fun task of ripping some 16' treated lumber due to a mix-up at the hardware store. My old, well-used general purpose blade was not up to this task, so I went searching for a new blade that would make the task less of a headache. I came across a review of circular saw blades on the YouTube channel Project Farm, and these Makita blades routinely tested as the fastest to rip through lumber. I can attest that they definitely lived up to the hype: they made short work of all of the rip cuts I had to complete. I have some doubts that these blades are the most durable or that they would handle cutting through nails or other detritus sometimes found in questionable quality wood. But for their intended purpose I believe they are a fantastic value. ... show more
