There's something to be said about upgrading the quality of your tools. Transitioning from the well-worn blade that came on my miter saw, to this Freud was a night-and-day difference. My cuts are substantially cleaner with a reduction in tear out, and the thin kerf has helped to keep my saw from bogging down on thicker hardwoods. I knew upgrading blades would make a difference, but I should've done it much sooner.Makes a nice clean cut, very happyThis blade is a game changer. I installed it on my radial arm saw and the performance is remarkable. I replaced a years old blade that had a positive hook angle with this one. Whereas with the old blade I had to stiff arm the saw carriage to prevent the blade from climbing into the cut and jamming forward, this blade is extremely well behaved. I can guide it through the cut with minimal pressure, even if the cut is through thick oak. The cut finish is excellent, very smooth, near glassy. The blade runs true and quiet. Another big plus is that there little or no splintering on the bottom side of solid or plywood lumber. While this blade is not cheap, it is an excellent value. I used to run Forrest blades on my table saw. Those are really nice blades, but they have gotten too pricey. This blade produces a comparable cut, but is a much better value.Quality piece. Nice accurate smooth cutsI replaced my Dewalt sliding compund miter saw with a Bosch model. Unfortunately the Freud blade went with the Dewalt to its new home. I love the new Bosch saw but the Bosch 60T blade supplied with it was not even in the same league as the Freud 72T blade. So I bought another Freud. It's a fantastic blade. Expensive at 10 pecent of the cost of a whole new Bosch saw, but worth every cent of the high price in quality cuts.I worked at Flamingo Casino in Laughlin Nevada as a carpenter and we bought these all the time. STRONG blade.I purchased this Freud Industrial class blade from Amazon for use in my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw some time back, and it has worked in a championship way. It cuts clean, although it is no speed demon, and one thing it can do well is cut shallow dado grooves with no tear out. I did this when cutting 45-degree angle embellishments on two picture frames I recently built. Standard crosscuts are very clean as well.I recently purchased a Freud Diablo class D1280X (Diablo is Freud's mid-level line), also from Amazon, and found that in some ways it equaled and even surpassed the LU91. (I reviewed the D1280X blade on Amazon, too.) For one thing, in spite of having more teeth (80 vs 72), it cuts faster. This is because instead of a negative hook angle it has a slightly positive one. The positive hook allows the blade to lift sawdust into the dust port at the back of the saw. (Sliding miter saws are not particularly good at scavenging dust, so I modified the saw by installing a removable dust scoop under the port to facilitate the scavenging process.)The negative hook of the LU91 is its one weak point, although it was designed that way to perform a safty action. Negative hook angles are utilized in order to keep the back of the blade from lifing the workpiece and thereby endangering the operator. However, if the saw is aligned properly and the workpiece is held decently tight (or, better yet, clamped), lift is just not a big deal. I have never had a workpiece lift in a miter saw, with any blade. The negative hook of the LU91, its safty factor notwithstanding, tends to fling sawdust straight back, UNDER the dust port, thereby building up a lot of dust on the saw. Even the best dust port would be unable to deal with this artifact.So, while the blade cuts well, and probably slightly surpasses the D1280X (which costs only a bit more than half as much), the user does need to understand that the back of the saw (and maybe the shop area behind the saw if used indoors) may become a bit dusty.Every blade offers advantages and disadvantages, and the choices involve tradeoffs.In any case, I recommend this blade, but only for precision work that requires a bit more finesse than what the cheaper Freud Diablo D1280X can deliver.Howard Ferstler (husband of Debra Ferstler)I am a commercial trim Carpenter and use a 12” sliding compound miter saw daily. I’ve been using Freud’s Diablo line for years because out of everything else I’ve used, they are easily better then any readily available blade from either of the two main big box chains. I have always achieved “good enough” results with Freud’s Fine or Ultra Fine Finish blades but I’ve been wanting to try a sliding specific blade. Apparently the -5* hook angle is what makes the difference. I had to start this year with a whole new setup (saw, rolling stand and blade) and figured I’d give it a shot. The new blade has been mounted to a Dewalt DWS780 and here’s what I’ve found.- I LOVE THIS BLADE- ZERO tear out which I have never achieved with any other blade on a slider- ZERO vibration leaving a clean kerf- ZERO pressure or force needed to move through the wood.- ZERO blade deflection when cutting bevels even in harder woods.So far, I don’t have a single complaint about this blade and I don’t believe I will! I had a coworker try it. He runs a DWS779 with a Diablo blade and was just as blown away with it as I am.Absolutely awesome blade!The original blade on my Milwaukee SCMS needed to be sharpened and I knew it wasn’t the best of blades, so I sent it out for sharpening and ordered this Freud blade ...WOW What a difference! It cuts beautifully and I often feel like I didn’t cut all the way through though I did! It has already seen well over 100 cuts since I bought it a week ago and still cuts like it did out the package! Definitely worth the investment and from the size of the carbide, it will be able to be sharpened often!Upgraded my old mitre saw blade for some flooring and trim work with this blade and it did an excellent job! Thinner kerf makes for easier cutting on hardwood. Would definitely recommend this blade.Cuts very well on my radial arm saw. Cross cuts and ripping are no problem. We will see how long it stays sharp for, but for now, 5 starts.A great cut...smooth and next to zero vibration which is huge for those fine smooth accurate cuts.Smooth crosscut.As expected
