Let me start off first by saying I am not a professional carpenter or wood worker by any stretch of the imagination, more like a hobbyist and that's stretching it a lot. I took wood shop in high school and that was 30 years ago. but I've tinkered over the years but in the last year or so I've been trying to get back into wood working, so I bought me a table saw and some other tools, andl I'm in the middle of making a project for my wife and I never give the saw blade that came with the saw much thought it was brand new and it felt sharp so I started using it, and I'm cutting red oak so it's a hard wood not super hard but it's not pine either and I noticed after about 10 maybe 15 cuts I was having to push a little harder and was getting light burn marks, so I started looking around for a new blade so I bought a dewalt blade it's a little better but I still wasn't impressed,so I started looking on wood worker forums and the general consensus was that the majority of people were using freud diablo blades.I didn't know a lot about freud but I knew enough to know that their blades were around 60 to 75 dollars and I was a tight wad and didn't want to spend that much on a blade. my attitude was literally how much better can one blade be over another just because of price. Well about a month ago I was surfing around on Amazon and came across a Freud blade and it was under 40 bucks so I got curious and started reading the reviews and they were talking about how sharp they were and how accurate they were and how long they lasted and how much quiter they were so I thought it's not much more than the dewalt blade I bought. I got it really fast as always with Amazon Prime shipping as soon as I got it I went to my shop and installed it and started making test cuts on some scrap and let me just say OMG Freud has a reputation for being one of the best blades on the market for a reason they earned it.. this blade was so sharp it cut through that scrap oak literally like a knief through butter the effort it took to push the wood through my saw was so much easier than it was with my stock blade even better than the dewalt. I can't attest to the longevity yet because I haven't had it very long but from what I've read you can sharpen this blade over and over I think you can even send it to freud and they will sharpen it don't know what that would cost but it would be worth it. And the last thing I noticed is the sound level this blade is so quite I couldn't believe it just with it spinning on the saw not cutting its so quite and when you're cutting it is so noticeably quite compared to a stock saw blade or one's of lesser expense. I was so impressed that I bought a 2nd Freud except the second one is for cross cut. I could go on for a long time about this blade bottom line is you're getting a great quality blade for a really decent price it's sharp it's quite and most likely will last you twice as long as the cheaper ones will. I love this blade

This is by far the best ripping blade I have ever used. This blade rips through hard wood smooth and easy. Soft wood is no resistance at all.

This blade worked extremely well. I was super impressed by the quality of the cut. If you have a decent quality table saw you can resaw boards with little if any cleanup.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to rip fence boards down. The southern yellow pine fence boards are known for lots of pitch and wearing down blades. This cut 200 boards and the video is of the 200th picket. That’s 2,400ft of picket and still cuts great. Cut quality is really good. Would likely be better if the boards started straight but I would recommend it to anybody. My limit was the motor on the saw so I couldn’t just throw the boards through it but I got close to that.

I used this blade to rip rough sawn green 4 quarters hardwood, pressure treated 2x8 lumber and rough sawn 8 quarters pine on a dewalt job site table saw. Cut was smooth and thin kerf allowed the saw not to struggle. Bogged down a bit when the feed rate was too high, but easily corrected by reducing feed rate. Would not be a good glue line rip, but that is not what it is designed for. Good value blade.

This is a very good blade works great.

Quiet in operation, cuts very hard woods without a pause, no burning - no time for that it goes through a piece of heavy wood so effortlessly there is no time for that. No sign of motor strain or belt slippage. Neat that there is no 'ding' when tapping the blade, guess those microreliefs cuts do that magic. Bought 3 more of this type for my power hand saw, have yet to try them on steel or even a nail as that is going to be the test for them.

Great rip blade.24 tooth is a good choice to rip most wood species.A sharp blade makes the cutting job quick and finishing easier.
