Diablo General Purpose Saw Blade for Wood - 12" Diameter, 44 ATB Teeth, 1" Arbor, .098" Kerf, 15° Hook Angle, .071mm Plate, 5000 Max RPM - D1244X

Just the best blade cuts are clean it is really durable

I needed a general blade for my 12" miter saw as the fine cut blade was starting to burn the wood and was several years old ~ dozen or so wood projects with it. Had a project cutting a lot of 2x4 and 2x6 for a tree house for the kids. Bought this sawblade for quick cuts for framing... I knew the tooth count was a little high for this, I think a 32T's are the most common for General lumber. Since the Diablo 44T and was only ~$3 more than the dewalt I figured I would give it a try. Cuts rough lumber like butter, zero resistance, no motor lugging, smoke, etc. and the cuts are very smooth and nice. IMO for a DIYer this is a great all purpose blade, you could certainly use this blade for trim work i.e. base boards, crown, chair rail, etc. if you know what your doing, go slow, allow blade to get up to full speed, standard angles 22.5, 45's.Really nice blade, should last someone like me years and several remodels.

I like the price. I’ve purchased this blade at a lumberyard, great shop blade for the woodworking I do.

Didn’t think my old blade was completely shot until I switched it to this one. Says it a “rough cut” but it cuts super smooth and clean. Very impressed with this blade and will be buying more in the future.

I use my miter saw for cross-cutting lumber, big surprise. Things like baseboard trim, 2x4s for home remodel framing, and some woodworking projects.I have not used a ton of blades so I do not have a lot to compare to, but I was annoyed with the yellow paint on the teeth of the DeWalt blade that came with my saw. It was rubbing off on the kerf of my cuts. This blade is red, but the teeth are unpainted - it does not leave a mark. The teeth are wider than the blade, so it does not rub on the ends of the work pieces.So far I have used this on soft pine (construction lumber and trim) and it worked well. I have also cut some walnut and oak - moderately hard woods but nothing punishing. So far so good. I cut slowly and let the blade clear the sawdust. No burn marks, no other issues.There are other, better brands of blades out there. They cost a lot more. For the price, this has been a pretty good blade for the past month or two I have been using it.I cannot speak to the longevity yet as I have not been using it that long. I'll try to update this later after I use it for a few more months.

This is the best miter saw blade to cut pressure treated lumber. Just remember to wear a mask to keep from inhaling treated saw dust.

I tried it today with a few test cuts on a pine 2x4 using a Ridgid table saw. Cut with hardly any resistance at all. Blade is evenly balanced. I’m impressed at $35. No tear out. Most blades do well at first so we’ll see how good it cuts in a few months. Just using it for framing lumber. More than enough for that. I’ve been doing wood work for over 20 years and tried a lot of blades. This one seems good out the package. I’ve got a good feeling about it.Update: blade is too thin for mitering 1 by 6 boards at 45 degrees for doing outside corners laid flat. Blade deflects so you don’t get a perfect miter cut so pieces don’t join perfectly. This has too thin of a kerf for that. Might be fine on narrower boards.
