Upgrading My Miter Saw

[Robert Stewart]

I would like to obtain higher quality, cleaner cuts with my Dewalt DW715. I currently have the stock 12", 32 teeth ATB blade.

What would be your blade of choice?

Thanks

I had glass-smooth cuts with my Freud 80T crosscut blade from Home Depot. It cost $50-60. I'm eventually going to get one of these for my table saw too. (next time I need to cut plywood or laminate)

I am fond of Freud blades. Although I did recently order my first Forrest since it was half off at Amazon. I have actually had very good luck with cheap 60 and 80 tooth blades. Cheap enough to just toss out rather than sharpen (small carbide tips). But my Freud's get the most use. For a miter box I would get a good 60 tooth chop saw blade. I have a 60 tooth Freud in mine right now.

Thanks for the info, gentlemen. I'll check these out.
