Wow.I saw all the good reviews and was expecting an amazing blade.boy was I wrong. I am sure that my table saw is adjusted properly cause I just checked it with a dial indicator. The thing did cut quickly and easily but when I looked at the edge of the board it was TERRIBLE. I would have to joint the board 1/16" to get rid of all the marks it left. I also look at the results I get from my Ridgid combination blade, which are like glass. The Freud is almost like what you get from a bandsaw blade but with burn marks to boot.Maybe this blade needs a stabilizer to work properly, but I'm not going to buy one to find out if I can return this.
I checked the reviews before I bought this blade and many said how easy it cuts and how quiet. I agree. I've been ripping 4/4 quarter-sawn red oak on my Ryobi table saw and it slices through easily. Very clean cutting, only minimal sanding needed.
After all these years I finally bought a thin kerf ripping blade.I couldn't be happier.This blade is far beyond my wildest expectations.Rips through 8 quarter stock like it's cutting 1/4" ply.No burning, just smooth accurate rips.
This blade is fantastic. I used it to rip down several sheets of Jatoba veneer plywood for a shelving unit I was making, and it worked great. Very smooth edges, no veneer tearout, and very little to no burning.
Freud never lets me down been using these blades for twenty years. I running this on a Bosch 10" table saw ripping mostly 2x and 1x lumber with no problems at all. Highly recommend this blade.
