Porter Cable 100VT50 Razor 10-Inch 50 Tooth ATB Finishing Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this blade to replace a dulling Oldham 60-tooth that kicked back so badly that it deflected the blade far enough out that the teeth caught and jammed on the blade guard. Thankfully, I can still count to 10 with my hands...

I was skeptical of the variable tooth design and the miraculous claims, but it was reasonably priced and the salesman recommended it so I gave it a shot. I expected it to be a compromise blade: not cut as smoothly as an 80-tooth, or be able to chew through lumber like a 24-tooth.

Now I'll concede that it is much sharper than the old blade, but I have to say that I think the claims are accurate. It's made very clean cuts, rapidly chews through 4 x 4's, and it's actually quieter than the old blade (which rang like a bell).

I've only had it for a month, but I'm very satisfied so far. With the carbide teeth, I expect to get about the same life out of it as I've gotten with other carbide blades.

The only downside of this blade is that it cannot easily be re-sharpened (because of the variable spacing/angles). But I'm more of a "Harry Homeowner" than an "Al Borland", so I can afford to just toss it and get a new one when it wears out in a few years.
