Tools and Hardware Reviews of Size/12"/80T Series 40 Thin Kerf Coated Blade
Customer Review: Less than Spectacular
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't have been more disappointed with this blade. I had it for about 2 months when I decided the cuts that it was making were far too poor to accept. Because the blade has a thin kerf it flexes halfway through the cut, which produces a uneven, half-moon shape on the end of the board. The only way I could produce a perfectly straight cut was to run the saw blade through the wood as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, the quicker you run the blade through the wood the more splinters you end up with. I bought the blade because I thought it would produce straight cuts with minimal splinters, but it didn't meet my expectations. I was pleased with the coating on the blade that reduces pitch buildup, it seemed to work quite well. The best thing about this blade is it's warranty. I had the blade too long to take it back where I purchased it from under the 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I took it to a Black and Decker/DeWalt service center and they gladly replaced it with a blade I was happy with. It is hard to beat DeWalt's satisfaction guarantee.
