Lame de scie circulaire à pointes au carbure Freud, 7-1/4 po

I picked up this blade to use in a “cheap” MasterCraft circ saw to do some framing. It gives pretty clean cuts in dimensional lumber with no splintering. I also used it for rough cutting some OSB and ¾” plywood and it made a decent cuts. It’s definitely not a finishing blade, but it IS an excellent blade for framing. I found it was easier pushing the saw through the wood with this blade and it made cleaner with less splintering. I did NOT find it cut any faster than the thicker kerf blade that came with my saw. The blade is thin but rugged. I accidently cut some finish nails with this blade and there was no damage to the teeth. (I just don’t recommend doing it for safety reasons.) The only problem with the blade is that it flexes too much. It sometimes binds in long cuts in plywood that are less than perfectly straight. The blades are coated, which helps a little binding. Still, the only real solution is use proper sawing techniques (e.g., using a guide for rip cuts). The teeth are small but have lasted me through a garage framing job, a deck installation, and making a lot of outdoor planters. The teeth have built up a fair amount of pitch after the deck project, but a three-day soak in turpentine eliminated the problem. That’s the only maintenance I’ve done on these blades. I don't intend to sharpen the blade. The carbide teeth can be sharpened once, but I found it was cheaper to just replace the blade. The only complaint I have is the advertising. The blades only live up to the claim that it will last six times longer than if you are comparing it to a steel tip blade. Compared to other brands of carbide tip circ saw blades, I'd say this blade has a comparable working life. If you want an inexpensive disposable blade for framing, I highly recommend this blade.
