Take any sharp blade. But run this experiment yourself. Try it. In fact if you rip with this blade, the blade itself will not allow the board to be moved through at a fast pace. This blade does give a nice smooth cut. Rip a board very slowly. It's a great blade but don't expect a lot more than what you have already. You'll probably get the same result: a nice smooth cut.
This particular blade was for my Ridgid table saw and it gets my "best in class" award. To see some of my projects I invite you to visit my non-commercial website: Life After 50--One Man's Perspective. URL: [.]. I've yet to be disappointed with any Freud circular saw blades. The link below will take you to my homepage where you'll find menu links to my woodworking hobby pages and photos.
I use them on my Ridgid 10" table saw, 10" Delta miter saw and on my Ridgid 12" sliding miter saw. Most cuts on 3/4" red oak are smooth enough for glue-ups without jointing (but do expect a few saw blade marks that will sometimes require further smoothing prior to glue-ups or finishing). The blades are noticeably quieter than other blades I've used. My usage is as an amateur woodworker.
makes a smooth cut along woodgrain. brilliant. the blade coating prevents burnishing and saw marks, leaving an edge that is truly ready for gluing.i used it instead of a bandsaw to make an 1/8" veneer from red oak for edge gluing to the front of a bookcase constructed from plywood. i do not intend to use the blade for anything but ripping, but what it does, it does very well.
I got it specifically for a job that required bevelling some 4' lengths of maple. The cuts were extremely smooth without a hint of burning. With that said the blade performed flawlessly. I actually bought this blade from another site but I wanted to add my 2 cents. I have a Ridgid 3650 table saw. This blade is a great investment if you find yourself doing a lot of ripping and would like to avoid the extra step of going to the joiner after your cuts. It's a good saw but does not have the power that much bigger cabinet saws have.
Then I found it on Amazon. I like the non stick red coating too. I haven't had a chance to try it for a glue up job yet, but I believe that it should do a good job for that too. After reading the write up in a woodworking magazine, I was interested in trying this blade out. This may be because I had usually used general purpose blades in my table saw, I think it does an great job of ripping wood whilst leaving a really smooth edge. It seems to just melt thru the wood. You really have to do a side by side comparison with two wood samples, its nice.
