Review: Very good blade for TS 55 -- But CHECK THE TEETH ASAP! - I originally bought this Freud blade just to see how it compared to the Festool blade. Out of ignorance, I foolishly used my TS 55 and the stock blade to cut a few pieces of laminate flooring. After that, my Festool blade cut terribly and would smoke and bog down in 3/4" plywood. I did some research and found that the laminate flooring will ruin carbide saw blades--there are several stories on the Festool Owners Group site where others discuss doing the same thing with both their TS and Kapex saws. In my case it was a TS 55 and a DeWalt miter saw. At the time, I didn't know I had ruined my Festool blade--just that it could barely cut through plywood. So last weekend, I removed my dull Festool blade and put in this Freud blade. It cut through the plywood like butter. Zero smoke. Very little effort required to push the saw--I just helped it along and it floated along the track. The Freud blade was fantastic. However, with those positive comments, I had to immediately return the first Freud blade I received. After receiving it, I just happened to look at the teeth. Something about one of the teeth looked odd, like it was cut at a different angle. After looking closer, I saw that the carbide was chipped. 1/4 of the tooth was missing. I looked at the rest of the blade, and found another tooth that was chipped, missing 1/2 of the tooth. The blade obviously didn't get proper QA. I have many other Freud blades and bits that I love, and have never seen anything like this. I returned the blade the same day back to desertcart, and they shipped me a replacement right away. The new blade is perfect and works great. If you order any of the Freud Festool blades, make sure to carefully inspect all of the teeth. But I highly recommend this blade for the TS 55--don't listen to the Festool accolytes that say you should only use Festool blades. For the price, the Freud blade works well for me.
Review: Cuts like a dream - It's a blade so fine it won't leave a splinter. Cuts through wood while keeping cool like winter. Not a single burn mark left behind. Through pretty much everything it glides. I choose this blade over the Festool. You would too unless you're a fool... or just like spending extra money. They're fairly comparable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good blade for TS 55 -- But CHECK THE TEETH ASAP!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great replacement track saw blade...
*by W***R on June 16, 2020*

I purchased this blade for my DeWalt DCS520 60V cordless track saw. It's working great. The stock Dewalt blade was badly splintering the top plywood veneer. This blade has minimal splintering...still not zero but much better. Putting down a strip of painter's tape and cutting through that eliminated that problem. (Another technique - a shallow scoring cut - also worked well.) The Freud blade diameter is 160mm vs the original's 165, but that's only a difference of 2.5mm in cut depth, roughly 1/10", and not enough to affect anything on a through cut! Highly recommended!
