Framing

Ideal for general construction applications, including fast, efficient ripping and crosscutting

This blade cuts rough framing lumber, high quality finish lumber, plywood, OSB, and hardboard siding with the smoothest, fastest and most accurate cut. The thin kerf design requires less cutting power from the user and the saw for better control over the cut. Diablo′s unique design, extra-tough steel plate and proprietary carbide tips deliver longer life — and frames more houses — than other framing blades.

Finishing

Ideal for smooth finish crosscuts in hardwood, softwood or plywood.

Diablo Finish blades are the perfect choice for excellent rips and crosscuts using a portable saw. They deliver a smoother edge than framing blades, but still provide an excellent combination of cutting speed and long life. A great choice for jobsite finish cuts in 1X, decking, fencing, fascia and plywood.

Steel Demon® Ferrous Metals

Ideal for cutting steel studs, steel sheet, steel pipe and other mild steel sections.

New Steel Demon® blades efficiently cut through ferrous metals quickly and accurately leaving clean, burr free cuts. These blades feature teeth with Triple Chip Grind (TCG) and a special carbide blend with outstanding resistance to the high impact generated by steel cutting. Freud’s expanded Steel Demon range includes blades for all popular low RPM metal cutting saws as well as conventional 6-1/2” and 7-1/4” portable circular saws. (note that all blades are for mild steel only. Most blades are for steel 1/8” thick or less, except for the D0738F, D0738FM, D1260F and D1472F which are ideal for steel with a wall thickness of 1/4” or less.)
