Freud D1280X Diablo 12-Inch 80 Tooth ATB Crosscutting Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this blade with somewhat high expectations.I figured the cut wouldn't be as smooth as the Freud LU85, which is twice the price, but had to be smoother than the stock 40 tooth blade that came with my bosch 4212L, which it was.One small problem - the blade did not make a straight cut.Every cut I made had a scallop at the entry point of the blade into the material.The blade was straight when checked against a straight edge so the edge must oscillate as it spins.A check with the stock blade and a new Dewalt woodworking blade confirmed that the saw cuts perfectly straight.I definitely won't buy another diablo blade.I would give 5 stars to Amazon for their return policy - they took it back with no issue.

Produces Smooth, Quiet Cuts with Laser-Cut Kerf
The Freud D1280X's clean-cutting design means that you can enjoy the comfort of smooth performance. The thin 0.118-inch kerf between the blade's 80 Hi-ATB (alternate-top bevel) teeth is laser cut to provide ease of feed, so you have more control over the blade's position. This helps maximize both the accuracy of the cut and the efficiency of your work, so you enjoy a job well done and the ability to complete more tasks in less time.
An added bonus, the blade's laser-cut stabilizer vents reduce noise and vibration during operation, keeping your work environment more relaxed and your hands more in control. This feature also reduces friction and warping, helping to extend the blade's cutting life.
Features Shock-Resistant Carbide for Long-Lasting Precision
So you can count on it over the long term, the Freud D1280X is designed for durability. The blade's hardy teeth are protected by Freud's exclusive shock-resistant TiCo Hi-Density Carbide formula, which helps fight wear and tear and maintains blade sharpness up to four times longer than standard carbide. And protecting the blade is Perma-Shield Non-Stick Coating that provides resistance to heat and corrosion.
