very good hard to believe it works that well.

I was a skeptic also until I used this blade.
Unfortunately pictures can’t capture the smoothness. You just have to see and feel the cut to believe it.
Let me put it another way, If I had used this saw blade two months ago, Most likely, I would not have purchased a jointer and would have opted for a planer instead.
Jointers have their place but if someone were to buy a jointer just for glue up boards, I would recommend they give this blade a try first.

Considering how well their 40T Diablo blades work, I am not at all surprised that their higher end blades work so well…

Thanks for sharing.
I’m searching on-line store in UK that has this blade, but so far cannot find one.

I’ve got the same blade and i love it. Work like they said.

-- RIP Sam Maloof.........

I have a couple of their thin kerf blades. Both give me the same glue line rip as well as super smooth cross cuts. I’m a believer, now!

Next, I want to try some of their quadra cut router bits.

-- Build for the joy of it!

I only use Freud blades and the glue line rip is one of the finest ripping blades I have ever used.

it sounds like a great blade .

however , nothing beats flattening and straightening rough lumber like a jointer ,
and nothing makes thickness like a planer !

I just about wore out my current blade, I think maybe it can be sharpened one more time. The new one came today. I’ve spent a lot more on a rip blade, but never had one that I liked better.

This is An excellent blade! Just had mine resharpened and it sure lasted a long time in between its last sharpening.

Never been disappointed with Freud but always amazed.

I use this blade all of the time and have equally pleasing results.

I have it on my tablesaw right now and it is the one that sees the most use.

That also means that I have two of them because when one is being sharpened I put the other one on.

Looks like there’s a new thin kerf glue line rip version with perma shield LM75R.

I add my recommendation for this blade as well. I’ve used mine for 2 yrs. with excellent results!

-- Jim, www.greenteawoodworking.com

What is the difference between the red and the silver blades? The look very similar but there must be a difference because the red blade cost a little more.

Cato – The red is the nonstick coating they refer to as “perma-shield.”

I prefer to run the thick kerf blades.

I bought this blade yesterday, mainly based on this review and the favorable responses. It is most definitely amazing. I was using a dewal blade that, while better than the blade that came with my table saw, is no match for this blade.

Definitely recommended.

Remember that the blade gives the best results when the tablesaw is running true. So be sure to make sure that all is square.

Great review, thats all I use is Freud blades.

mnorusis, congrats on your new blade. happy jointing ;-)

the blade can be found at woodcraft stores or woodcraft.com

I have only used the inexpensive blades, until recently, because I’m cheap or frugal take your pick.

I bookmatched a Birdseye maple plank for a table I am working on and was having trouble getting the edges ready to be glued. I saw an article somewhere recently about this blade and thought, “why not”?
It does leave a beautiful edge ready for gluing.

-- Measure three times, cut twice.

They all work well when they are sharp. Just keep this in mind as the cut starts to degrade (and it will).

Socalwood, now I’m curious, who coined the term “glue line rip” and what does it mean? The only thing that I can find is that maybe the original was orange.

-- Russ

per Todd’s and my conversation and all in this threads comments…I have ordered,received, installed, and used this saw blade… All I have to say is “What took me so long?”

I purchased my first DIABLO blade more than 5 years ago. A 10” 40T for my Mitre/Chop Saw. I’ve since added blades to all my power equipment. The 5 year old blade still cuts like the day I bought it. At $35-$60 a blade, they are a little expensive but worth every penny. Whatever your application, get on board and experience the difference. You’ll never buy another blade again!
