Diablo General Purpose Beam Saw Blade for Wood - 12" Diameter, 40 ATB Teeth, 5/8" Arbor, .087" Kerf, 18° Hook Angle, .063" Plate, 7000 Max RPM - D1040W

cuts well

Every tool has a specific purpose, this one is designed with a Super Thin Laser Kerf, 0.063" (1/16") and a plate of 0.039" (hair over 1/32"). The benefit of that feature is material conservation. And the trade off is that you cannot drive it through hardwood. If that is your need and purpose, then you'll need to use a 0.125" (1/8") kerf blade. I use this on a 10" Kobalt KT1015 Table Saw, it works great when ripping and cross cutting. If you try to adjust mid-cut, you will likely get blade deflection, but that might be more an indication of poor setup (needing to correct mid-cut). Another benefit to a thin kerf is that it puts less load on your saw (a 1/8" kerf is double the width of this 1/16" kerf, and is removing twice as much material). If you find this blade deflecting under load, then you could reduce your feed speed. If the blade wobbles without a load, might need to check the setup (perhaps debris on the hold down plate or nut). Mine will spin under no load without wobble.

Had to make two 32 ft long 3/4 wide horizontal groves along an exterior wall in a house for the installation of a wide flange beam. This meant cutting through the framing nails between the bottom plate and the rim joist all along the wall where the upper and lower flanges of the beam were to be inserted into the existing structure. I must have hit at least 70 nails (and usually multiple times as I had to make several passes with the saw to make the slot wide enough for the beam flange to slide into). Granted I chewed up half or more of the teeth on the saw but it survived the whole job. I figured I'd have to sacrifice at least two blades to make it through the job so I am quite pleased that it only took one! Would definitely buy again!

Diablo blades are my go to blades for my company, they hold up great and are extremely sharp and accurate

THIS PROBABLY A VERY GOOD BLADE.BUT IT WILL NOT WORK ON MY10" SAW.IAM KEPING IT TO USE ON THE TABLE SAW.

I get it. Feud / Diablo uses the red color as a trade mark but be ready for a lot of your cuts to now have red burned into the cut end of the wood. Would be much better with a plain silver, low key branding and not a giant red spinning crayon.

Some people were discouraging me from using the Diablo 10-1/4" blade on my table saw, but they couldn't have been more wrong. I figured, if it's made by Freud, how bad could it be? I was searching for a blade to be used primarily for resawing wood. Ultra-thin kerf blades are ideal for this purpose because they require less effort from the saw motor, and they also waste less material. Anyhow, I took a chance with this blade and it paid off. It will rip lumber just as fast, if not faster than most 24 tooth blades, leaving a much smoother finish. Performs well on the cross cuts, too. When using blade stiffeners, which I do recommend, the maximum cutting height will be around 3-1/8". If you plan to rip very thin strips - feed the material at a moderate rate to maintain cutting accuracy. Keep in mind, it is slightly larger than your standard 10" blade, so you will have to check for clearance in the blade housing of your machine. Bottom line, I am very pleased with the performance of this blade and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a second one in the future.

Freud makes some of the best blades around I bought these because I have used this brand before in similar circumstances. The thin kerf cuts thru metal like a dream so I thought I would try it out on some 3 “ insulated aluminum panels. Did not disappoint
