What is your favorite brand of Miter saw Blade? I hate my current blade and need some advice on selecting a new one.

[kurt@welkerhomes.com]

a lot depends on the type of saw, I have several Freud that I like and also a couple of Bosch.

Hook angles make a lot of difference whether you are on a fixed or sliding saw.

I run a 12″ fixed dual compound Hitachi C12FDH

what are you using for a blade now?

[MKE_Voltage]

Mainly rough cutting 2×4. For finish work I change out the blade.

Anxious to try out the DareDevil blades that were recently posted up here. I imagine they will be better than the dewalt blades i have loaded up.

[MKE_Voltage]

I am also curious to see how well the daredevil miter blade will perform.

Do any of you guys use 10″ blades on both your table saw and miter saw?

Unfortunately I am still Table-saw-less.

Still havent pulled the trigger on a table saw yet but i would like to have a diff blade for each when the time comes.

To have the space for every tool I wanted I think I would have to build a pole barn. That’s why I just use a circ with a rip fence.

8 years ago i had a 10 ” hitachi mitre saw. i would use the same 50 tooth blades on it and my table saw,

i hvent used a dewalt miter saw blade in quite some time.. their throw away blades anyway. once their dull they get tossed they cant be resharpened like the freud ones can

heres a tip, dont fart in a space suit

I was not familiar with Freud blades until I joined this forum. They seem pretty excellent.

Jeff, would you actually sharpen your Freud of send it off to someone to do?

[Nyx]

How much does it cost on average to have someone sharpen them? And who would do it?

[MKE_Voltage]

I have no clue nick, I hope someone is able to shed some light on this murky topic.

jason, i do have to get my blades sent out. carbide blades require special machinery to be sharpened. there is one shop in town that does it but they do a horrible job of it. i just take my blades to my lumberyard and they send them out of province

heres a tip, dont fart in a space suit

[MKE_Voltage]

Thanks for the insight Jeff, I don’t know if I use my blades enough to warrant that but its a great option to have.

[kurt@welkerhomes.com]

We have all our10″ & 12″ blades sharpened. There is an old guy on town that does it and does a pretty good job of it. An 80 tooth carbide is about 20 bucks. They charge by the tooth.
Circular saw blades get so beat up they get thrown.

[MKE_Voltage]

Kurt, do you only sharpen the Freud blades? Or do you sharpen all of your blades?

[cranbrook2]

I like using Diablo blades from Freud, They are extremely sharp and last a very long time .
