this Freud D0624X Diablo 6-1/2-Inch 24 Tooth ATB Framing Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor is the way to go.One cut and this blade is going into the trash. Both cost the same within pennies. I've had better cuts with dull framing blades. Both bought from Amazon. The Freud blade is carbide thin kerf, whereas this DeWalt is probably stamped steel. Theres no comparison. So I took it off and put a brand new Freud Diablo 24 tooth on to see if it would do better. Difference was night and day.Both blades brand new.
I purchased this believing the 90 tooth format would yield smoother cuts in plywood (its a paneling blade). Don't make the same mistake I did. Brand new out of the package, my first cut on plywood was horrible. The 24 tooth Freud cut the plywood extremely smooth with no effort, whereas this DeWalt tended to bind and load up while producing unacceptable levels of tearout. Wrong.
Good price2. Amazon Prime with free 2-day shippingCons:None I bought this for my cordless Ridgid trim saw in order to cut plywood and some other thin finishing materials.Pros:1. Worked well for cutting plywood and other thin materials (including some finishing materials)3.
I also bought the Irwin 11820 6-1/2-Inch 140 Tooth as another option and it bogged down even with a fully charged battery. I guess that you get what you pay for as this blade cost a little over twice as much as the Irwin. This blade does a great job when used with my DeWalt 18v cordless saw. This blade cut smoothly and didn't strain the saw nearly as much.
