Wonderful replacement for standard blade

I use this blade on a Dewalt 709 Compound Sliding Miter Saw. I purchased it based on reviews on other woodworking sites and while there were others rated higher, it was hard to justify the dramatic increased price of the Forest or even other Freud blade. I have had a Freud 10″ combination blade in my tablesaw and have used a Freud 8″ stack dado set for about 10 years and have had absolutely nothing but good experiences with both. This 12″ cutoff blade is such a treat, especially after wearing out the original DeWalt blade on a deck, a complete refinish of a basement and installing hardwood flooring on one floor of a house. I thought about just getting the blade sharpened but there was almost nothing left to sharpen. The Freud blade is so quiet and cuts so smoothly that there have been times I’ve had to check to see if I really did shave a little off the board or missed completely. Heartily recommend this blade for CSMS users.
