Best blade comparison I’ve seen, surprised at how differently they came out. I knew that higher teeth are for cross cuts, but I hadn’t seen the actual results. Great vid!

Freud is a subsidiary of Bosch. You may find that the blades that came with your Bosch mitre and table saw are in fact manufactured by Freud

Thanks John, I didn't even realise that I needed to know about all the different blades and what their functions were. Or how the different tooth configurations operate. Now I can confidently buy/fit the correct blade to my table saw when I eventually manage to build my bigger shed and have space for the table.

Great video. The 'chatter' explanation opened my eyes. I thought it had to do with my fence. Thanks!

Great video, i have got Freud blade and Diablo ( the same manufacture). The quality difference between the original blades, and the less expensive are night and day!!! But there are few things to consider the cost, and the thickness of the stock because 1*4 won't act like 2*4..... even the moisture content is playing big role on the rip cuts....for my experience with the Freud and diablo great value for money ( like Luban hand planes) because there are higher quality blades out there but much expensive!. Love your explanation on the teeth pattern od the different saws!!!

I know the Freud are higher end supposedly, but in my experience, the real difference is just that they can be sharpened more times than the Diablo - they both seem to cut just as well when new.

Good video - thanks. It might be useful to mention that flat-top teeth are good for dado cuts too - less sanding afterwards.

Hey John, Thanks A Lot (?) 😝 So I revisited this after watching your random pattern cutting board. Quick visits to Amazon & Toolstation and I've now doubled the value of my (Aldi!) tablesaw by buying the same 3 blades you reviewed. So now all I have to do is finally build that cross-cut sled, fettle the cheapo table to cut properly, etc etc. Her Xmas present is beginning to look expensive! You have a lot to answer for my man - you and your 'inspiration'. Keep it up fella, love your work.

Another excellent video with plenty of information. My Triton table saw actually came with a combination blade on it, but it does struggle with rip cuts and can burn a bit. For cross cutting, I upgraded to an Erbauer blade, looks to be a similar sort of price to the Freud.

Here is where I bought the blades www.sautershop.com/circular-saw-blades/

Great video John, very helpful. Really like your explainer videos.

I started out my business with the same saw you use but junked the Bosch blade immediately as it was poor. Freuds are better but only their high end industrial range are worth buying for business use as they can be resharpened and have a lot more carbide per tooth. They’re also laser cut. The best vfm for a decent blade that will outlast and out perform the freuds you show are CMT industrial blades starting at around £50. Qiueter, more carbide and better finish and precision. Even a hobbyist would benefit. For most, a 40t general purpose and 60T crosscut will do most jobs along with a 24t for pure ripping work.

Great review thanks for sharing

Excellent video lad explained alot👍👍👍

Great video, thanks, learnt from start to finish, off to buy some new blades, great info, especially about the teeth angle never knew about any of that. great channel, thanks again

I have actually found that I get pretty good crosscuts with an 80T TCG blade. It also lasts forever between sharpenings (mine is an Amana) and works well for joinery since it gives a flat bottom. (I’m usually too lazy to put a dado blade on since I’d have to change the brake cartridge on the sawstop - so it’s easier to take multiple passes with a single blade.)

Nice video John! Learned a lot. I continue to enjoy your channel.

Love your channel John. You seem like a natural at whatever you do. The Freud blades are exceptional. The Diablo blades most people encounter (at least here in the States) are also made by Freud and owned by Bosch, but if you can afford the extra cost, the Freud are noticably better quality and last longer. Just my opinion.

why the 40 tooth over the 50 tooth for the combination blade? The 50 has 1 FTG (Flat Top Grind) tooth every 5th tooth combined with a larger gullet - I find it nicer to use for either operation than the 40....mine are both Freud

@JohnMcGrathManInShed

2 жыл бұрын

There is not much in it really, the 40 would be slightly better at ripping and the 50 would be slightly better for crosscutting

John, I recently bought a Forrest Woodworker II, thin kerf, 30T. The rip quality is excellent. I use a stiffener but I really don’t know if it makes a difference. Best Regards, David Janis

great vid as always john, what made you take the 60t blade of the 80t blade out of interest?

Brilliant video - have the same saw and need new blades - will definitely take the advice. Thank you

hi which blade do you recommend to do long bevel cuts on a wood and wood panels with a tack saw? Thanks

Would an ATB freud blade be ok to use for cutting slots, or tenon joints? Trying to find a 250mm (for DeWalt table saw) FTB blade in the UK is nigh on impossible.

farty toot seems like a great compromise

Great video! Very informative! Also great that you are Irish! Often see these vids from American based channels talking about products that aren't available here. Funny too that I have seen you before, from your whiskey channel! Watched your redbreast vid and a few others!

Can you suggest best quality blade for crosscut wood pcs of 4 × 4 inch for dws 780 mitersaw. At this time i am using 60T blade which come with dws780.but now a days its jerking after 95% wood cutting. Last 5 % wood cutting it scared me.once blade moving stopped yet machine start. I need to know is this problem arise due to blade quality & which brand i have to prefer with teeth no I m from india

Great video John. Can you tell me where you get your saw blades sharpened in Ireland?

How many tooth would you recommend for 3/4 plywood. Thanks.

Interesting and informative as ever. My question: I suspect no improvement on the mitre saw using new Bosch versus new Freud and you pretty much confirm. But on the table saw, if you compared with a new Bosch blade, would the Freud be worth the extra? As you were comparing old and worn, I think a new Bosch blade may have been pretty much the equal?

top video, was just about to pull the trigger on some cheaper blades but ur comparison has sold me, whats the point of putting all the hard work in when for an extra couple of £ you can have better results for the same effort. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Very helpful 😍 What do you suggest for plywood? What do you suggest for MDF?

Try a 60T from CMT or Shark blades.

Where do you get your blades sharpened, or do you do it yourself ? I'm in Ireland.

These are the only blades I ever use I can’t fault them

Hi John, Thanks for your video. In fact, you are comparing 3 grades of Bosch blades as FREUD is 100% owned by Bosch... It's just the best grade : they even produce their own carbide tips. I'm almost sure that the 'least' Bosch of the 3 is the original blade of your saw ( the silver blade ) as I think it is produced in China an not in house. This blade seems to be from the "Optiline" Bosch grade witch is the lowest. Above that, you have the "Expert for wood" blue blade. For sure it's a good blade, much better than the Optiline one. But look at it : it's made in Italy and knowing that Bosch owns Freud, I doubt that these blue blades are made elsewhere than the Udine Freud factory. The best blade is of course the Freud branded blade. I always wondered what were the differences between Bosch Expert for wood ( blue ones ) blade and Freud branded blades : is it equivalent to the Diablo blades Freud sells in US ? is it a more affordable grade with thiner carbide tips ? I don't understand why Bosch mounts it's cheapest range of blades on their professional ( blue line ) contractor saw. To me, it should be dedicated to Bosch green line saws !
