This Frued is cheaper than the PC blades, and they're awesome. That's something I might expect from a Forrest blade on the table saw, but not a circular saw. If you own a Sawboss, you can't go wrong with this blade - quality and cost. The Porter Cable Sawboss is my go to saw hands down. I don't expect that aspect to last the life of the blade, but I'm impressed by how well-made this blade is.
The only problem is the 6"size and 1/2" arbor is hard to find. The first thing I did with this blade was cut down some doors. I always score the top side first to prevent chipping, but for some reason, I made a test cut without scoring and it was perfect. In total, I cut eight doors, two of them top and bottom, without scoring and absolutely no chipping.
I had a tough time finding a 1/2 inch arbor for my old circular saw. The thin kerf is very helpful on delicate cuts. I found this one at Amazon and have been very satisfied with its performance.
Good blade for the price. You get a nice smooth cut with this blade. Teflon coating reduces drag and heat build up.
The cutting ability of my saw was improved with the new blade, even though the blade on the saw already was still very sharp. My saw is a Porter Cable Saw Boss. It's a great saw, but the 6-inch blades are hard to find. I like Freud blades, and use them on my table saw, too. It's good that Freud sees fit to make them.
