Review : I bought this blade to upgrade the standard blade that came with my 7 1/2" miter saw that I bought to carry around to smaller jobs. BIG mistake. Don't know why but this blade will not cut anything without kicking back. It will even take chunks out of 2x pine. Don't even try it on hardwood or cabinet moulding unless you've got a suit of armor on. It's not the saw alignment. It's dead on. And the saw works fine with the original blade and it even works better than this with some of my worn out framing blades from my circular saws. Saw in another review where another user had this same problem with another Freud blade. This is only the second Freud I've purchased. I bought one for my 10" Radial Arm Saw thinking it might make it safer to rip with with the anti-kickback feature. WRONG ! ! ! The kickback I got with this blade dang near destroyed my guards and probably would have killed me if the guards hadn't been up to snuff. I'm beginning to think that the Freud anti-kickback "feature" is nothing but a dangerous sales gimmick. And I definitely won't be buying any more Freud blades in the near future. This one's going back to where I got it, too.
Great Blade for Home Trim Projects! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Why haven't I heard of Frued Blades before. This is the best trim blade I have ever purchased. I cut the bottom off all my doors (26 in all), never nicked a single door. Can't wait until my next trim project!

Review : If I've ever had proof that spending a few more $ for quality is worth it, this is it. Bought for project calling for 4 sheets of 3/4 plywood. Am using Asian Birch plywood. Almost all crosscutting being done with Milwaukee circ saw and now this blade. Wow! The saw glides (I mean realy glides) through the cut and with no splintering! I wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Review : When I put this blade on my old skil saw, I thought for sure someone had switched saws on me. If your skil saw is giving you any difficulty at all, try switching to this blade and see how it should be done! I've been cutting some 1/4" oak finish beaded paneling and I don't even have to turn it face down. My old saw blade would have chipped and torn out much of the oak finish if I tried to saw it face up. Not this blade. I rubbed the bottom of the saw with wax paper and away I went. Not a mark to be seen. Great blade!
