IRWINTools MARATHON Carbide Table/Miter Circular Blade, 12-Inch, 40T (14080)

I purchased this blade to cut the interior molding for my new house. Shortly after attaching the bladed to the miter saw I accidently (and stupidly) left the aluminum yardstick on the miter bench and cut into it with the saw. Thank goodness I didn't hurt myself but I thought the brand new blade was ruined. I continued over the next couple of months using the blade and cut moulding, hardwood floors, pvc, and Ipe (which is an extremely hard wood). The blade cut all of the materials REALLY well even after cutting through the metal yardstick.I highly recommend this blade for its durability, precision, and reliability.

nice and sharp. blade flexes a bit but works fine going slow.

Great blade

in order to get quality you gotta spend some money, i seen other blades for much less, but this blade is balanced and for a 12" blade i think this is important especially for detail trim work very pleased with this blade

As expected

I do most of my cutting with the Porter Cable Variable 50 tpi saw. It works well, but falls short on plywood, usually leaving small chips on the edge. I just purchased this Irwin blade especially for plywood and the results are excellent. Very smooth finish. (I made a zero clearance insert on the table saw some time back; no doubt this helps with the plywood cutting too.)

Looks good for the price!

love it
