I have an old Skilsaw, and put a new Irwin on it. Like my previous blades, it was a fight with any piece of wood, always bogging down, burnt edges, making small tasks into huge work efforts. So, I go looking at reviews to get a new circular saw and come across this gem. Could it really be the blade. After watching this vid in it's entirety, I decided on a Makita blade. You have saved the day... Man, I can't believe how a simple blade change has made life so much easier. Recently, I've been experimenting with slabbing wood and that blade will cut thru solid wet oak 2" thick like butter. And the unbelievable part is, it hasn't wore out yet, although I expect it to, sooner than later. You must excuse me for the extra long rambling, I just wanted to say thanks for your excellent reviews!

I find that's the best way in the end. Keep an old worn out blade on your old saw and a nice new blade on your newer saw for cutting wood that you need nice edges on. I have pretty much rounded off some blades demoing a roof. Roofing shingles will eat up a saw blade in no time! I always go for a blade that is in the garbage already when I'm doing a project like that. It is definitely going in the garbage after cutting through shingles.

It has multiple missing teeth and it still cuts faster than the brand new dewalt blade i put on my miter.

I'm not sure if' you've considered it yet, but I think testing windshield fluid would be a pretty awesome video idea. After smearing bugs across my window last week yet again, I have to wonder if there's a fluid that actually 'cuts though bugs' as the brands claim. I'm not sure if it's because I enjoy the rain repelling formulas or because I only use fluid that stays liquid year round. I know people use plain water in warmer states, i often wonder if it does a whole lot better chemically to remove them. I've seen mixtures of glass cleaner and water as well that probably bridges the gap. I'd imagine bug guts are reletively oily/ fatty and the water content evaporates on the glass pretty quickly from heat and airflow. They may be water soulable oils and the name brand alcohol based fluids might not cut it.

If you are going to do cross cuts all day through clean wood, especially with a cordless saw, Makita is incredible. However, it is not good for cutting through crap (nails etc as demonstrated) and also, you wouldn't want it for ripping wood, as for long rips, it starts to wobble a lot because it is so thin. I love Makita tools though. I think they are the best bang for your buck by far.

Great video as always, however one thought I think you missed on. Ripping and crosscutting generally take very different blade designs to do well. My guess would be that these saw blades are designed and profiled more towards crosscutting lumber than ripping, as it's the more common cut when framing. I'd be really curious to see if your results would be different if instead of ripping a 1 foot 2x4, you crosscut a 2x12 or lined up multiple boards to get your length of cut. Thanks for everything you do to make these videos. They really are a great recourse for us all

Yes, tooth angle, top grind, and gullet shape matter. Similarly, you have blades like the Falkenwald (sp idr) which appear to have less positive rake and appropriately (though vaguely) suggest their use in aluminum. There are blades with features intended for specific applications, but no manufacturer is capable of describing their own products clearly these days, so all you have to work on is a bunch of vague promises and hieroglyphs on the package.

I would love to see a “tear out “ test on plywood to see which blade makes the cleanest cut in different kinds of plywood , I usually get the Diablo blade as a replacement but I might have to get the Makita! Thanks again for your hard and informative work!

I use these saws professionally and I have found that the Diablo performs well and holds up for a long time. Also at Home Depot the Diablos go on sale on a regular basis where you can buy a two pack for about $10. I also have some Diablo finish blades which really do a good job for general purpose cutting and they use less battery. The finish blades are more expensive but they also go on sale but less often. Also when you buy the Diablo blades you are not sending money to China. I would rather send my money to our cousins in Europe.

After the many many many cuts I did with it it’s still cutting really well with only a small loss in cutting ability.

Was about to pull the trigger on a 3 pack of makita blades. Looks like there are several reviews saying they can get hot and warp and then cause kick back and binding. For my use I think they will work fine (7 1/4” cordless miter saw) I don’t see the blade binding up on that. Miter saw is a bit under powered for some things so I’m hoping these blades will help.

@@ToolsInAction4u none of these are great blades. They're disposable construction grade blades. Good blades are much more expensive. Also, a miter saw version of these blades may not perform the same. Don't buy a blade just because it fits. Buy a blade for a miter saw.
Feeling pretty great about my Dewalt and Diablo blades. Hadn't seen this video yet but as it turned out I made a great choice. Makita very impressive as well, might have to give them a go when I'm due for a new one!

You're being too banal in your explanation. It's not my favorite sports team picks by my wifes standards. Brand loyalty is more than color. I worked construction for over 20 years and saw what worked and what didn't. DeWalt nearly always survived the hard abuse. Then when running three crews, you have to have duplication of tools for interoperability. Once in any brand, one is forced to stay with it. But now interoperability is much harder with the rapid change they all are doing. I'm just a hobbyist now, and have no issues changing brands to get the best quality.

@@bertblue9683 These days TTI (Techtonic Industries) builds most of these tools ….Ryobi, Ridgid, Milwaukee…and says a lot…pre-approx. 2007 those brands were built in this country and much more reliable… Personally I’ve always been a Bosch guy…now the colors in my shop are much more varied…I don’t expect much from big box store stuff as opposed to bench tools…table saws, band saws planers etc….which requires research to find the good stuff
the first time i got a diablo framing blade i was ripping big 16 foot 2x12s down and i was blown away at the blades ability to rip through wood. some of these blades ii never thought to use, i buy diablo blades and then i but a couple fine tooth blades that arent used often. one tip when using the same blades, number them, that way you can keep the blades sharp longer, swap over to your oldest blade to cut through those nails then swap back to your newer blade for normal cutting on the site.

Awesome testing as always. Not sure what brands they used but our fabrication shop use to beat those blades up along with the saw motors cutting through 3 by 1 1/2 tube to make trusses. They finally burnt so many up they decided to go with a portable plasma cutter. Watching you cut through those nails reminded me of that.

As someone who has spent his whole career in home construction to me the absolute best blade that I ever used was the Black & Decker 24 tooth Piranha blade which for some reason they stopped making them in the mid 90s. Then we switched to Irwin’s Marathon 24 tooth framing blade and this thing was awesome. We could cut through nails and gang nails in old trusses and never lost a carbide tooth. We would buy them by the case and still insist on them today.

Also back in the day,1990 ish,DeWalt sold,not sure if they where manufactured by DeWalt,I would surmise not,but whoever,made great cross cut blades. In the early to mid 90's I was doing a lot of condo maintenance replacing trim,rotted siding,ect. Often i would pry a, say,corner board,away from to the building,as some where 16/18 feet long,as not to replace the entire board,would use my nail pick/cats paw to hold the trim away from the siding and make a cut.I sawed through the nail pick and didn't know till I pulled the board and saw two objects fall. I continued to use that blade for two months every day after cutting through my steel bar.

Absolutely loved this one! Whoduh thunk? I find it very interesting how a name brand can be great at one thing and not with another. I never would’ve selected Makita for a saw blade, so this was quite the revelation. For new ideas, I think that sockets would be great, because I can’t find any videos that actually test them. I’d also love to see mitre saw blades, 9 inch angle grinders and blades/disks… wow, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find something that you haven’t tested! Bravo!
