DEWALT 10-Inch Miter / Table Saw Blade, ATB, Ripping and Crosscutting, 5/8-Inch Arbor, Tough Coat, 40-Tooth (DW7140PT)

Perfect blade for most work not a real finishing blade

People often say "you get what you pay for", well this is one classic example that will defy such logic. I've owned this blade for well over a year now. It it the blade that I left in the saw for all purposes, and it's seen quite a bit of use.The price might fool you into thinking that it's a disposable blade. Make no mistakes, this blade is a top notch all purpose blade that deserves your respect like a Forrest blade or a Freud fusion. It is a thin kerf blade, but has very thick C4 carbide teeth. All are precision ground and polished to a mirror finish on all sides. By just inspecting the teech, you'll see that its on par with other top of the line blades.But how does it perform in the real world? One indicator I look at is how well it rips hard maple. Maple is a moderately hard wood; it does not contain much oil and is very light colored. Consequently it is perhaps the easiest wood to receive pronounced burn marks by any rotary power tools. When you rip a piece of maple, if the blade teech aren't designed with the perfect cutting angle, or if the teech aren't polished like mirrors, it will likely to leave burn marks at the end of long rips. Of all the blades I've used, I only know of 3 blades that will rip 8' maple boards and consistantly yield joint ready surfaces with virtually no burn marks: the Forrest WW2, Freud Fusion, and this Dewalt blade.Now for cross cuts. This dewalt blade will give you a cross cut surface smooth as waxed furniture, but leaves just a hair of splinter at the exit if you don't use a backing board. The Freud fusion seems to out perform both the dewalt and forrest in this catagory by just a nose, but at a price: the more aggressive ABT angles will wear down the teech a lot faster than the Dewalt. Besides, you always cross cut with either a backing board or a zero tolerance fence. So this dewalt is a perfect trade off between longevity and cut quality.I originally purchased this blade as a backup when I send my fusion for sharpening. But having seen how well it performed, I kinda regretted purchasing a fusion blade for 2.5X the cost, which gives similar performance but wears out faster. This now becomes my primary blade that sees 90% of the actions. In the future, I will purchase more of this blade to replace the pricy Forrest or Fusion. In the end, one's craftmanship is judged by the quality of the finished work, not by the price tag on a blade. If it yields the same cut quality and longevity, why would one care if it's 30 bucks or carries a prestegious $115 price tag.Overall, if you are considering a WW2 or a fusion, give this blade some thoughts. It offers unparalleled value and truelly defies the cost=benefit logic.

My miter saw was struggling, and needed a transfusion. Thanks to DeWalt, I was able to operate and renewed the life of my miter saw.Now, it's running and jumping like there is no tomorrow.In addition, the price is very affordable.Hopefully, it will last a very long time.

I am a huge DeWalt fan and own several of their tools. This blade however, didn’t do it for me. I am cutting very hard, black walnut boards on my table saw and this blade pretty much burns the wood, even at the slowest speed.I didn’t expect an expert cut due to the price, but from DeWalt I did expect better.

I went from a 32 tooth to this 40 tooth to get a little finer cut and it does great on everything from framing lumber to baseboard trim if you take your time. Worked great for what i needed.

This blade cuts very smooth and clean. I recommend!

Blade seems to be slightly out of whack. It looks to have a slight wobble to it. I'm also getting heavy saw marks towards the ends of my cuts. I'll throw my old blade back on and see if there's still wobble. I highly doubt it, since my cuts before were pretty good, with a minimal amount of sanding needing to clean up the saw marks.

Good blade. Step up from the 24 tooth, 10 inch that ships w/ the table saw. Don’t have any idea as to the longevity of this blade but cuts real nice and clean

Súper producto y con buena resistencia

comme toujours super produit de DEWALT, le seul hic c'est qu'elle est plus mince que c'elle d'origine que j'avais sur mon banc de scie!
