Rips Hardwood Like Butter
933450
Slapped it on my 1.5 HP Delta Contractor Tablesaw today and promptly ripped about 200 feet of 1" thick white oak. Cut like butter. Blade height was one full tooth clearing the top of the board per Freud's recommendation. Super excited about this fine cutting blade. Leaves a perfectly smooth edge. Will update with more use on blade life.

I was using an old 2.3amp b&d jig saw and it could not handle the 1.5 inch thick solid oak counter top.  I purchased the JS515 and bosch wood blades and it cut like butter! Let the jig saw cut the wood without too much force or it seems to dull the blades. The quick release for blades is a plus too.  Got it onsale at menards for 24.95 so it was definitely worth the money.

Worked way better than I had expected for getting those annoying staples out of hardwood floors. I wish I had known about this gadget when I first started pulling them out. I would have saved a lot of time and pain in my hand. These this work great and no stress on your hand using them. If you position it properly, it does the work with no force.

I love splitting wood.  Best tool I have ever had for the job.  The wood goes flying.  Very gratifying.

I don't use wood as a primary heat source like many others.  I have a fireplace that I use occasionally, and a fire pit that I use more often.  I had a large cord of wood dropped off and stacked recently from a new supplier.  It was the hardest, most solid wood I've ever handled, and cut in very thick chunks.  My axe and hatchet just bounced off the wood, and I just didn't want to rely on a maul.  I researched various and wide ranging options.  I couldn't justify purchasing a gasoline powered splitter for the few times a year it would be used.  I looked at many electric log splitters, but the reviews were far too spotty, depending on they type of wood being split.  Manual Hydraulic splitters seemed to offer a good mix low price, low maintenance, and reliability when faced with extremely hard wood and knots.

The packaged arrived quickly, but the box was in rough shape with large holes punched through - and no wonder as this is a heavy beast.  I unpacked the Sun Joe, and except for one of the cradle arms being bent significantly, the machine was was in tact.  There was virtually no assembly save for the handles.  I picked a chunky log from the pile, positioned it in the machine, and started pumping the handles.  Once the face of the jack hit the wood, the left handle (faster speed) stopped dead.  I gave a few pumps with the right lever (higher pressure), and the wood popped and cracked loudly as it was forced apart.  I split about three armfuls of kindling and rightly sized fireplace logs in about 15 minutes or so without being winded or breaking a sweat.

Great table saw rip blade.  Ripped over 50 2x4s with no break in between and each one went through like butter.

This blade cuts wood like it is going through butter. I can cut pen blanks that have the tube in and not worry about being forced to replace the blade after 4-5 cuts.

I work mostly with hardwoods, and use this saw for two purposes:

First is when I'm buying lumber from a guy and it's too long to go in the truck comfortably--this is a quick way to cut it down without having to arrange a power cord, borrow the guy's tools, or sweat it out with a hand saw.

Second is for rough stock breakdown in the shop. My shop is pretty small, and I can't always get full length boards over to the chop saw without bumping into a wall or another inconvenience. It's often a lot more convenient to bring the tool to the work. I've often used a corded jigsaw or circular saw for this, but lately, the little 18V Bosch has become my first choice.

The key to this saw is the thin kerf blade. It removes much less material--meaning it doesn't make nearly as much of a mess as you would expect indoors--and the thin kerf makes it practical for it to rip through thick hardwood boards competently despite being battery powered.

I only use it for rough cuts, so no cares about how clean/messy the cuts are. I could totally see this becoming my go-to circular saw for more construction-y projects around the house. If it rips through 6/4 Walnut and Maple like it's not even there, it's going to do more than OK with 2x4s.

Very happy with this purchase.

I am using this on a Rockwell Model 12 table saw with a 7.5 hp motor. Using our power feeder we can rip 2" thick European white oak at 100 FPM. The blade leaves a glue ready cut. We primarily build stair treads and counter tops, so we do a lot of ripping.

Incredible how nice of a cut this blade makes. I used it to rip 1/4" plywood into faux shiplap boards. I didn't need to sand the cuts afterwards.

I use this for cutting plunging cuts into hardwood flooring and also to repair Pergo flooring when I need to use a plunge cut to take out a section. It works perfectly for me.

I have used Freud Glue Line rip blades for years with great success.  But I liked the description and decided to try this blade.  It seems to do a good job with hardwoods - nice cuts with little burning.  But I do more work with pine and other soft woods.  There it is not so good.  I don't really understand what is happening, but it leaves the edge a bit ragged - almost as though it lifts a shaving as it cuts.

Used it to install new oak laminate flooring.  It cut like a hot knife through butter.  There was no chipping whatsoever.  Has remained sharp throught the whole process, which was about 500 square feet.

I bought this blade at the same time I purchased a zero clearance insert for my saw. After installing the blade and insert I tried it out. It really rips well. No wobble and my saw didn't bog down. The coating really seems to help. Based on the advertised blade, it should rank 5 stars. Based on the reviews I read both here on Amazon and woodworking web sites, I could only give it 3. It does not leave smooth edges when ripping plywood and only tolerably smooth when ripping lumber. Fast, yes, smooth, not so great. Because I needed a blade for an immediate project, I purchased an IRWIN Marples 10-in 50-Tooth Circular Saw Blade at a local box store. Incredibly, it worked great. Beyond my expectations. I am a woodworker with 26 years experience, but I am always eager and willing to learn. If someone can tell me where I went wrong with the diablo (maybe tooth count?) I am willing to listen.

It cuts like butter compared to the diamond ones from Home Depot and Lowes.
I bought two, one for my trim saw one for my table saw. They still make dust and I air out out the motors at the end of the day.
So far I'm still on the same house (its a big one),still cuts good. I still use a shears on my siding and soffits (1/4-5/16th materials),
to keep the dust down. I use it mainly for my batons and trims. I even use it on framing wood, straight cuts, in a pinch, as it  is course. Great product.

Slices through wood like butter!
Easy to cut enough wood for the fire.
