Diablo Saw Blade for Wood - 12" x 80 Teeth, Fine Finish, Hi-Density Carbide, 1" Arbor - D1280X

Great saw blade for trim work. Makes a perfect cut every time.

Wonderful saw blade. Somewhat expensive but worth the money. Shipping was terrible. Took weeks longer than anticipated.

This blade is highly accurate, cuts great and lasts a long time. Just purchased a new 12” chop saw and swapped out the blade that came with the saw. Should be good for a long time.

Only brand i use now for saw blades. Great for home or pro use

Put this on my dewalt sliding miter saw. Worked great very smooth cut. 12 inch 80 tooth Diablo.

Good blade with my Dewalt Miter saw, but it’s a bit slow when it comes to cutting 4x4’s. The original stock blade with less teeth cut faster than this blade. But if you are looking for that clean smooth finish…this blade is for you

I am going to have to disagree with some of the other people who have reviewed this blade.For some time now, I have been using a Freud Industrial LU91R012 crosscutting blade (purchased from Amazon some time back) in my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw. (I have reviewed this saw on two different woodworking sites.) The blade works well. However, I decided to get a backup blade to handle less demanding work. (I have the OEM blade that came with the saw, but it is only fit to do really rough and tumble cutting.)I purchased the Freud Diablo D1280X, because I have had good luck with other Freud Diablo blades, although those were general-purpose and ripping types. I also have used two different Freud Industrial ripping and general-purpose blades, and they worked no better than the Diablo versions, as best I can tell. The Industrials may have a very slight edge, but it is slight, and their only real advantage is that the thicker carbide allows for more sharpenings than with the Diablo versions.As with the LU91, I purchased the D1280X from Amazon, and after using it I will say that it works as well as the LU91. Indeed, in some ways it works better. It cuts faster, in spite of having more teeth (80 vs 72) and also does a better job of kicking sawdust up into the dust port at the back of the saw head. This is because it has a slight positive hook instead of the negative hook of the LU91. (Negative hooks tend to throw dust straight back instead of swinging it upward.) In addition, there is no workpiece lift that I can determine, which makes one wonder why a negative hook is even needed. It also seems to cut just as cleanly.All in all, I give this blade five stars, and when it and the LU91 finally wear out (after getting the LU91 sharpened as many times as it can tolerate) I will replace both with another D1280X - probably purchased from Amazon, just like all of my other Freud blades.Howard Ferstler (husband of Debra Ferstler)

These blades are a bit expensive but they do a great job and last a good long time depending on use.
