you will like it enough that you will tell somebody about it. as soon as i saw the 6 1/2 inch blade i put it on that saw and things got a lot better.if you havent tried a diablo, try the 6 1/2 on your cordless. i use them on all my saws because you just cant get a better blade. i have been using diablo blades on all my saws since before they were red. i was glad to finally see the 6 1/2 inch blade for cordless saws, because my cordless (milwaukee ) was just hopeless.
I even mark and keep the old blades that have hit nails and whatnot as my 'nail blades' for questionable cuts because, even after abuse, they perform quite well. They all cut effortlessly, cleanly, and noticeably reduce the saw effort. Bought this based upon the reviews and have to agree - it really polished up the already great performance of my Milwaukee M18 cordless circular saw.These are the only blades I've been using since June '09 and have no need to try anything else. In fact I now only use the 7-1/4" version of this blade in my SkilSaw wormdrive, and my fullsize corded Milwaukee 6394.
We have put many miles on these diablo blades (running on Makita 18v LXT saws), and they go the distance. from framing to finish. It cut plywood much better than a brand new DeWalt veneer blade. Then this blade will do it. With this blade, you'll be prepared for the next time you need to cut one. Don't let the words "framing blade" lull you into thinking that this is for coarse work only. Typical of Freud, it cuts very smoothly and with much less effort than other blades which seem to slog their way through the material. This blade is excellent for all round cutting.
Reasonable cost and quality are important factors to me when purchasing tools for my business and these blades offer both. Now that we've put them on the cordless saws it's like having totally different saws. I have been using Diablo blades now for over 5 yrs. on my corded circular saws.
I've been in construction for 12 years and have used all the brands and this is number 1. My 12" Makita compound miter saw has the finishing blade and makes the most perfect miters in any kind of wood. This blade is by far the best blade out there for any cordless saw. I only use Freud blades in all my saws. I highly recommend these blades, they save your time and money. Makes the saw seem like it has the power of a corded saw. Makes a very thin cut and doesn't bind.
