Has anyone used both the D1080X blade and the D1090x blade? Cutting primarily oak plywood with my miter saw. Which would be better to buy and why?

I have only used the D1080X blade and it cuts very clean and cool, as to the other no help for you.

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot

Does very well with hardwood -- almost no chipout. Plywood is a little more difficult, so I sometimes score the wood with the blade set very low before cutting the full depth.

I am not the ultimate expert on saw and blades but I would not recommend buying 10" stack dado for small table saw. I use it on delta unisaw which is 220v and has more powerful motor. On my saw it works very smooth and does a great job. I have a Bosch table saw similar to your dewalt and I would not use dado larger than 8" and I would not try to cut too deep in one go.

I have both the metal cutting and wood cutting versions of this saw. Was at a job site recently where I only had the metal cutting saw, and naturally needed to cut a 2X4. It cuts a wider path and the blade spins about 1/3 as fast, but it did a good job of cutting, certainly not worth going back home just for a couple of wood cuts. As previously answered, the miter set up would not lend itself to any precision woodworking.

Excellent saw for beginner or advanced woodworker. I purchased mine to replace a craftsman i had. This saw is easy to use and cuts straight. I replaced factory blade with a Diablo 40 tooth, cuts like butter!

I have only used the Freud FI102 on oak wood and have not had any problem with it at all. It is working very well for the short time I've had the blade. It has probably made in the area of 250 or 300 biscuit cuts so far and as of yet everything is great. I would give the blade a 5 out of 5 if I was rating the blade.

All the same. They're not great, but you can't beat the price. Go to Home Depot, and you'll get four blades for that price. I use a Fein multimaster, and the machine makes a bigger difference in the speed of cutting than the blade does. These ones just don't last as long, but as cheap as they are, I don't mind burning them up in one use cutting plaster or anything else they're not meant for. Even the bi-metal blades are useless in wood after you go through one nail. I usually save the dull blades for cutting Sheetrock or plaster.

Oshlun makes some 210mm and 30mm arbor blades. They are the same size of Festool TS75 blade at less than half the price. I used Oshlun blade on my table saw and they are pretty good for the price.

I have a set of these blades and I use it on a Sears 10" table saw. If you have a 5/8th arbor, you should have no problem with using them. I am not familiar with your saw, but it should work. These blades produce the best cut of any blade I have used in the last 40 years. It is smooth, very square and sharp edged cut of anything I have used. If your saw takes regular blades, then give these a try, they are outstanding. And no I am not Teresa, I am her husband, she just lets me use the blades.

This saw has a really good blade. The kerf is great,I have used mine all year without a hangup or blade bind. The blade is thicker and higher quality than the one I looked at at Lowe's. I think it will serve your purpose very well. Hope this helped.

Get an after market blade, and you should have no problem with 4" oak. The blade that came with the saw was not the greatest. I picked up a new 1/4 inch & 1/2 inch for like $15 bucks... cutting is night and day compared to the stack blade.

I have a multi-blade set that has 10" and 12" blades, which work fine. I think you can feel safe to use whatever length blade is available, especially from Milwaukee. I think the limit will be what you are cutting. For really wide, hard materials (10" oak tree trunk) just take your time and don't overburden the saw. Let it do the job without overheating. You should be fine.

Absolutely great for ripping as long as your riving knife and or splitter is set correctly. Once I had that set, 3/4" oak boards cut like butter. I will never go back to anything else. It crosscut great as well. The one I used was a 40 tooth, but I would think this would work just as well. I bought mine as Home Depot at a very reasonable price. Other big box stores do not carry Freud blades.

Kathleen, I wish that I could help you (read my review--Tom Sheffield) but since the third time fixing this jigsaw I have gone with Bosch with zero problems. I still use the Dewalt but now I no longer change the blade as I only use it with the flush cut blade, and not often. I am afraid it will break again the next time I attempt to release the blade. For what it's worth I no longer deal with Makita either--Bosch had become my go to company for power tools.

Looks like the difference is a coating on the blade. Is it worth it?...you decide. I find the 9154 adequate for my occasional bouts in the garden.

Definitely aluminum, with the right blade. Steel I haven't tried and can't speak to. I'd look up 10" blades that cut steel and if they're compatible with the saw (a hook angle of 5 degrees or less, a 3/8" arbor, an adequate rpm, which I'd have to check...) it should do fine. It's more about the blade and speed than the other components of the saw. FWIW, I love this saw, several years into owning it.
