It still had a major wobble.Amazon won't accept returns after 30 days. I bought the Irwin Marathon 12" 100T blade in February 2006. I went to use it the first time in September of 2008. Anyone need a brand new warped blade for cheap $. When I mounted it on my Porter Cable power mitre, it had a VERY noticeable wobble - I estimate about an 1/8" - I removed it to check that I mounted it properly (no debris on the flange) and remounted it.
After many months and jobs it still cuts great. Send it back and try another. Defects happen in all levels of products sold in this country. The cut quality is near the top with perfection. I had to laugh at the guy that said his wobbled. There is no need to complain and then buy a more expensive blade. Sounds like his was a defect, bad luck.
Amazon had these blades deeply discounted a while back and I took a chance after reading the one review about the blade being warped. My son is a quality woodworker and appreciated the smooth cuts he gets using the blade.Extremely smooth cuts for trim and flooring. The ones I received were perfect and I gave two of them away to my son and daughter (my 32 year old daughter loves it after installing a bamboo floor in her house).
That one shows no wobble. When the blade came I mounted it on my Delta compound miter saw and even before I made a cut I noted that the blade wobbled when I took it up to speed. Double checked that there was no problem with the mounting of the blade and still found a noticible wobble. I guess there is a reason Irwin blades cost a little less. Sent it back to Amazon and replaced it with an 80T Bosch for a few dollars more.
Ideal for trimming. This is simply the best blade I have ever used on my Dewalt miter saw. It cuts through hardwood (maple, cherry) like butter and produces a 320 finish. I just ordered the 80T for my table saw. It's able to take hair thick cut without sliding on the work piece.
