Well after hearing about how phenomenal Freud blades are I bought a couple. They cut great, I agree. But I did not seem to get any cleaner a cut with a new Freud than with a new DeWalt blade. Both blades made excellent, smooth and clean, square cuts using red oak. The Freud did not seem to stay sharp for long, but to be absolutely fair, I did make 6 or so cuts through Pergo with it.....probably not the best idea.....I bought it for cabinet making so it wasn't the brightest thing to cut Pergo with it. hahahaha. Anyway, I would buy one of these again depending on the price of it compared to others. If it was a lot more than say a DeWalt blade, I'd probably buy the DeWalt. But if the price was within 10 bucks I'd give the Freud another try.....and NOT cut Pergo.....and see how it lasts.
