I bought it for ripping 3/4" birch ply to be used for a bookcase. In my experience, they get hot and burn your material. The edge was finished as good, if not better than my table saw can do.Don't bother with a plywood blade. This blade is amazing. I used it in a Milwaukee circular saw with an edge guide. This blade has made me a Freud man for life. This blade produced absolutely no tearout or chipping.
I used this blade mostly for cutting plywood panels for cabinetry. This blade cuts clean. I replaced a 24 tooth blade with this one. I couldn't be more pleased. The difference is incredible.
I can't believe how well this blade cuts compared to a 140t plywood blade. The Diablo line also by Freud works really well, especially for decking with the slick coat. like a rim on your saw, lol. I had minimal tear out and the blade was perfectly balanced. WOW.
That being said, I'm not sure that I'd use the 24t version of this blade for heavy duty work, this seems to be a delicate blade due to those vents. This blade cut MDF glass smooth. This Avanti blade also runs very true and stays cool - thanks largely to the massive "shearing vents". For a finishing blade however, the 40t Avanti is awesome. I haven't had a problem with material sticking to the blade, nor have I had to cut anything that would lead to binding with it yet, but the silver ICE coating sure makes it look cool.
Bought for project calling for 4 sheets of 3/4 plywood. The saw glides (I mean realy glides) through the cut and with no splintering. Wow. If I've ever had proof that spending a few more $ for quality is worth it, this is it. Am using Asian Birch plywood. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Almost all crosscutting being done with Milwaukee circ saw and now this blade.
This blade is excellent. Very smooth cuts on birch cabinet grade plywood.
