7-1/4 in. x 40-Tooth Finish Circular Saw Blade

A:  Without a doubt!!!! Diablo are great blades!!!

A:  Yes this blade will rip cut 2x4 with ease, providing table saw or cutting saw has the horse power to power thru it without bogging down.

A:  For wood in general, More Teeth = smoother cut = more expensive blade.  If your pine is for framing or something that is structural and not seen later, a 24-tooth blade will work better and faster for ripping down 2x4s.  If you’re building furniture or cabinets, this 40-tooth or a 60-tooth will create a better finished cut.

A:  It will rip a 2x4 length wise just fine. You are going to use a skill saw that has enough power, and slow down your feed rate. It's going to give you a finer cut than a 24 tooth rip blade but it does stay on the line well but, it is slower.

A:  Thats a very good question, these Q&A are useless for this 12 inch 80t fine tooth blade

A:  In general yes. New designs provide teeth with geometries to penetrate a particular structure so it is optimized to have a smooth and sharp cut with straightness controllability. If you have good quality plywood to cut for furniture or decorative purpose, stick with what labeled: "finish/plywood". You can still use this or other wood cutting blades on plywood for roofs and behind drywall structure... In this case large teeth (smaller number of teeth) are for non-homogeneous structure such as rough/cheap plywood and small teeth (higher number of teeth) are for finer things. Just be cautious when using fine teeth blades on rough wood, it could bind if you do not keep the large 2 pieces in the same plane.

A:  This is about the 7 1/4" Steel Demon blade, it's designed to cut METAL, not wood.

A:  Thanks for bringing this to our attention! You are correct, this blade is for wood cutting applications. It appears there was a mix-up in the classification of this item on the site and we will make a correction.

A:  The Home Depot website cobble together various products of the same series. Look at the reviews with pictures: saws of different kinds (including metal ones and 4.5" diameter). The website does not even let me sign as Del, forces me to use Delv!

A:  I think you overestimate the average consumer's intelligence. Some of the questions you see in these Q&A sections are truly terrifying in how uninformed people are.

A:  These are for wood.
