I really don't know how to review a blade. It cuts just great. Cuts finer than the 18T version. I haven't used it enough to tell you how fast it wears out but no other carbide blades die that fast. Doesn't kill people.
Just received my DW3178 blade from Amazon and see it is now made in China. Also wish Amazon more clearly showed country of origin. Looked carefully on the Amazon site and couldn't find where it is made. For me there are too many other choices to buy a chinese blade, no matter how it cuts.
Ok so I went from a steel blade that came with my skilsaw, to this, and can't praise the dewalt high enough. And I would do it again. It cuts easily through 2x stock, and just as easily and clean through plywood. I doubt I'll go thru more then one blade a year, which for the price I paid its a small investment into a quality blade.
I use this most frequently because its what my boss supplies to us for use in our saw. This blade is a very nice blade. it cuts smoothly and I have never had it bind on me. but it is inexpensive and a great value. But it is the same caliber as the porter cable riptide blades.
This is a good quality blade and at a fair price.At 24t you get a decent cut.I haven't used mine on the job but,it has seen it's fair share of projects around my home shop, without complaints.I do recommend this blade, the quality is there and the price is right.As I do with all my blades I wipe them clean after use and spray on a light coat of( dri-cote) they won't rust and it reduces cutting friction. Now get out there and cut something.
