    Sweeet!!

    I just replaced the original blades on my Makita sliding miter box and my BT3100 with new Freud blades. I expected an improvement but WOW I swear the rip and cross-cuts I did barely needed any sanding.

    Why did I wait so long to get these?

    I have some and boy they are nice. My big problem I get lazy and don't change them from rip to cross cut like I should.

      They are phenomenal Bob, especially considering the price. Which ones did you buy?

        I waited for 6 months to upgrade the blade after acquiring my 22811.

        The blade cost more than I paid for the saw!

        I was so blown away that I had to show off the results to all my local woodworking buddies.

        I had no idea I could get results like these.

        'Heart' my BT-3000 clone!

            Not sure about those models, but I know my Diablo blades from Freud leave a fantastic finish. I probably need to sharpen the 40T general purpose blade though... It's been a few years...

              Woohoo indeed Bill!! Those are the industrial line of Freud's blades and I heard that they are right up there with the other big names. I too have a bunch of the diablo's.
