Framing

Ideal for general construction applications, including fast, efficient ripping and crosscutting

This blade cuts rough framing lumber, high quality finish lumber, plywood, OSB, and hardboard siding with the smoothest, fastest and most accurate cut. The thin kerf design requires less cutting power from the user and the saw for better control over the cut. Diablo′s unique design, extra-tough steel plate and proprietary carbide tips deliver longer life — and frames more houses — than other framing blades.

General Purpose

Ideal for cutting oak, pine, plywood, pressure treated lumber and beams.

An excellent choice for table & miter saws, this blade leaves a smooth cut in a variety of applications, reducing the need to change blades between tasks. Use it for rip cuts with a smoother finish than dedicated ripping blades, or make quality crosscuts in solid wood or plywood. Great for both sliding and “chop” style miter saws as well as table saws.

Finishing

Ideal for smooth finish crosscuts in hardwood, softwood or plywood.

Diablo Finish blades are the perfect choice for excellent rips and crosscuts using a portable saw. They deliver a smoother edge than framing blades, but still provide an excellent combination of cutting speed and long life. A great choice for jobsite finish cuts in 1X, decking, fencing, fascia and plywood.

Fine Finish

Ideal for trim carpenters, Diablo Fine Finish Blades leave a smooth surface that requires little to no sanding.

Fine Finish blades let trim crews get the most out of sliding or “chop” style miter saws, as well as jobsite or workshop table saws. The special cutting geometry and high tooth count produce extremely smooth cuts while minimizing “grabbing” or blowout. (Blades ending in “S” are also ideal for radial arm saws).

Steel Demon® Ferrous Metals

Ideal for cutting steel studs, steel sheet, steel pipe and other mild steel sections.

New Steel Demon® blades efficiently cut through ferrous metals quickly and accurately leaving clean, burr free cuts. These blades feature teeth with Triple Chip Grind (TCG) and a special carbide blend with outstanding resistance to the high impact generated by steel cutting. Freud’s expanded Steel Demon range includes blades for all popular low RPM metal cutting saws as well as conventional 6-1/2” and 7-1/4” portable circular saws. (note that all blades are for mild steel only. Most blades are for steel 1/8” thick or less, except for the D0738F, D0738FM, D1260F and D1472F which are ideal for steel with a wall thickness of 1/4” or less.)
