Recipe for Saw blade fiasco?

[leehljp]

Does this saw blade show up strange to you?

I thought it was a joke. Photo Posted backwards from normal (could be the back side); rotation showing the wrong way!

That is very odd

[LCHIEN]

clearly wrong.
The printed writing shows a rotation arrow that is opposite of the tooth facing direction.
Maybe they photoed a defective blade that got set aside and the photographer didn't know any better.
If you put it in the printing machine wrong way then that's what you would get.

Not a total disaster. Just turn it around, it will work fine. Ignore the arrow on the printed face.

It's curious that if you scroll down and see more blades their arrows are correct even though they show 2 sides of the blades. It's like the Burger King. $10 meal, somebody's going to get fired!

What is wrong with you people? As a lefty I am happy they finally printed on the correct side of the blade for us.

I'm NOT seeing that! On the 90-tooth pictured, the teeth are pointing clockwise and arrow is pointing clockwise. Went to the HD website and most (but not all) of the Freud blades are pictured the same as are the first DeWalt and Avanti blades.

Could it be possible that the link has changed or the picture edited since you posted, as I'm not seeing anything wrong here? It looks exactly like it would sitting on the business end of my RAS.

OMG it has changed maybe somebody from Freud or Amazon reads our posts!

[capncarl]

It is fixed, don't you wish everything was this easy!

[cwsmith]

Whew....!!! I was beginning to think that maybe I've been wrong all these past decades and every one of you were mounting their blades the way I found one (backwards) on a used RAS I bought a couple of years ago for parts..

Yeah other people noticed too. It was mentioned in the user reviews on Amazon as well.
