They look and feel like a high-end blade, and even the red coating feels like it can withstand some serious wear and tear.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Freud-D0740A-Finishing-Knockout-PermaShield\/dp\/B00008WQ2G?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;linkId=7a6faccb9f981e1d57f6ace3981a4391&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D0740A 7-1\/4 40 Tooth Finishing Blade<\/a> here in front of me, but I\u2019ve noticed similar things with their other blades as well.<\/p>\n<p>The renowned blade geometry is also readily apparent, with a narrow blade kerf that tapers out right at the end of the teeth. If you examine a typical saw blade, you\u2019ll find they\u2019re significantly thicker, and use a good deal more steel than a comparable Diablo blade uses.<\/p>\n<p>This offers a number of advantages to the Diablo blade. Firstly, it allows for increased accuracy and efficiency when making cuts. It\u2019s also easier on the saw\u2019s motor \u2013 which is why these blades tend to work so well in compact saws.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blade_Features\"><\/span><strong>Blade Features<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutout_Vents\"><\/span><strong>Cutout Vents<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Laser-cut stabilizer vents around the blade perimeter work to reduce noise and vibration, and help keep the blade cool when under prolonged use.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also notice several L-shaped heat expansion slots on the body of the blade. These are intended to allow the blade to heat buildup while maintaining a consistent cut quality.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carbide_Teeth\"><\/span><strong>Carbide Teeth <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most saw blades nowadays feature carbide teeth, but Diablo\u2019s are particularly good. They utilize an exclusive shock-resistant TiCo Hi-Density carbide formula that\u2019s designed to maintain blade sharpness for up to four times longer than typical carbide.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2171 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/diablo-blade-teeth.jpg?resize=800%2C519&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"diablo blade teeth up close\" width=\"800\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/diablo-blade-teeth.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/diablo-blade-teeth.jpg?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/diablo-blade-teeth.jpg?resize=768%2C498&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In my experience, these claims are accurate, as I\u2019ve been using this blade heavily for almost a year and it remains razor sharp. This means these blades will last longer before you <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementscout.com\/when-to-replace-a-circular-saw-blade\/\">need to change them<\/a>, adding to their overall value.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coating\"><\/span><strong>Coating<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Diablo\u2019s signature red Perma-Shield coating not only looks iconic but also helps to keep the blade free from gumming and corrosion. This can be a serious issue with other blades, particularly ones without a strong protective coating.<\/p>\n<p>Uncoated blades will gum up with a pitch, causing the saw to <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementscout.com\/circular-saw-kickback\/\">kickback<\/a>, creating burns along the side of your cuts, and making cuts less precise. When this happens you need to give the <a href=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementscout.com\/how-to-clean-a-saw-blade\/\">blade a cleaning<\/a>, which is fairly easy to do, but still takes time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blade_Performance\"><\/span><strong>Blade Performance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having used a variety of different saw blades, including the cheapo framing blades that come with most circular saws, I can safely say these blades have impressive performance.

The above blade retails for just $15 to $20, so it\u2019s not actually much more expensive than other brands.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the fact that these blades are going to last longer than other blades, and you\u2019ll actually be saving money provided you use the blade often enough.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrap_Up\"><\/span><strong>Wrap Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All in all, I\u2019d consider myself a serious Diablo enthusiast.

Take a look at any number of job sites, garages, and woodshops, and more often than not you\u2019ll find saws with their original manufacturer blades swapped out with Diablo blades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo saw blades have one of the best reputations of any blade manufacturer and are famous for their quality, longevity, and value.
