Will this blade work well in the miter saw for a hem/fir mill work job? Or should I get something with more teeth? Thanks.

Sorry but I did not use this blade on a mitre saw it was installed on a De Walt radial arm crosscut saw. The performance is such that I cannot find fault. Quiet, vibration free, ultra sharp after thousands of cross cuts on soft fuzzy woods. Hard and dense material results in mirror finish cuts. My guess is that it will work just fine on a mitre saw

Good combo blade. As a guitar builder, this blade fits the bill for my needs. I guess it will depend on your standards.

For a mitre saw you would typically only want a high tooth count, since you would only ever be crosscutting, so you'll be able to get that nice fine cut when you need it. This blade would do the job well, but If you're looking for quality for a mitre saw there are better blade designs out there.

Yes it will work on your miter saw. you'll get a nice smooth cross cut especially when its new. Yes its a combination blade and you don't need the rip teeth but for the price this blade will do just fine. You can spend more on an 80 tooth cross cut blade but you're not doing finish work. You can also move this blade over to your table saw and rip some of that hem/fir mill stock or just buy two, they're cheap!

It should give good results. But as a combination blade, it has ripping features that you don't need on a miter saw. After using this blade, I am sold on the brand, and would look for a high tooth count designed specifically for a miter saw...

I have other brands and sizes of miter saws that I use for general carpentry work. I purchased this Bosch 8.5 in. saw because in my opinion it is the Cadillac of miter saws. It has a range of cutting 12 in. wide boards at 90 degrees and 8 in. boards at 45 degrees. Very reasonably priced for what it will do. Has carrying handle and is very portable. I don't think you can go wrong with this saw. I have been very pleased with it.

That is somewhat of a wide open question. The saw seems well made. I've only had mine a few weeks and used it a few times. The cuts I've made were through 2 3/8 pipe and have been accurate and quite smooth. As I've used a Makita abrasive saw for years I would expect this one to hold up as well. I will continue to use the abrasive saw for less accurate straight cuts and reserve the new saw for miter cuts or where accuracy is paramount.

I use all the sawzall blades in this little saw that bosch sells for sawzall's. They all will work. A shorter blade is better for a lot of cutting. But it just depends on what material you are cutting.

I have used the Forrest Chopmaster exclusively in my 12" DeWalt compound sliding miter saw. I would use no other. I cannot attest to the deflection, but it is the best, smoothest blade I have ever used. It makes accurate cuts, very smooth with little chip out on the back side of the cut.

Sir! I used this little machine in solid pine and 1/4" plywood where the cut quality did not matter. Seems to be cutting ok., but you might need to change the blade to get better cut, such as more tooth on the blade.

Qualifying statement: I am a Master Electrician in Texas and have 24 years of mostly residential repair and remodel experience. I own this fine tool and numerous other Bosch cordless and corded tools. I use Bosch tools and accessories exclusively. In regards to your question: I use Bosch blades EVERYTIME. They last longer and cut smoother. That being said, most any reciprocating blade will work. Jigsaw blades will not work in this tool. Use fine toothed blades for metal and wood paneling. Using the fine toothed blades for cutting paneling will reduce the amount of splintering, although not completely. Use wood blades for wood cutting that is not as critical cosmetically. Hope this helps, if you need further comments feel free to ask.

As do most 10 inch miter saw,s ! You should be capable of accurately cutting up t and including 6 inch Base. I would not recommend trying anything deeper ,Especially with compound applications as it is difficult enough without improperly utilizing the Miter saw . I know it is poss. to manipulate your material and tool to complete certain cuts , but!! acquiring an accurate and clean miter will be very difficult as well as the tool is very dangerous with approved use . I would recommend you step up to a Sliding compound and poss. 12 inch if deep base and multiple miters are on your schedule? Other than that I have had this particular saw for only a week , first reconditioned power tool I have purchased and at the price I think its a great dael and tool so far?

The blade is designed by Festool so you need to use their blade and as you might guess, they are a little expensive. In my opinion. it is worth it to have a great Mitre saw. If you want to cut great angles and make crown mouldings easy, this is a great saw. It is fun to work with good tools.

I wouldn't count on the Dremel Saw-Max to cut any 2-by materials. It's best use in my experience is for cutting flush to walls and other edge-cut projects. It grinds the materials and dulls fairly quickly. Since the "cut" in fairly shallow, it doesn't do well on materials that are thicker than an inch or less. A circular saw works well, like a 7-1/4" blade, hand-held, general purpose electric saw. If you're cutting lots of 2x2's in a cut-off fashion (as opposed to ripping length-wise) an inexpensive miter saw works well. Hope this helps. I use the Dremel Saw-Max strictly as a flush cut saw. I have two of them and one Roto brand saw of similar design. The Roto is toughest of the two. Hope this helps. I wouldn't count on the Dremel Saw-Max to cut any 2-by materials.

The saw comes with one 40 tooth "combination" carbide blade, adequate for many tasks including cross cuts and ripping. It will not, however, produce a smooth cut like a high quality Forrest or Ridge Carbide blade will. The Bosch blade is a "starter kit". If you want a cut quality that will seem like it has been planed smooth, you will have to upgrade. I bought a 40 tooth Ridge Carbide blade with 1/8" kerf, and I get that smooth, planed look every time. By the way, I continue to love this saw and appreciate it more every time I use it.

Actually Black and Decker has a set of blades you can buy rather inexpensive that works great. It is a very good deal. Usually if a blade has a lot of teeth it is for metal. Blades for wood usually has less teeth with a wider gap between them.

Works great when cutting across the grain. Dust port tends to clog when cutting with the grain which is a common issue with miter saws in my experience.

Not sure about the tooth number but I know I had to go buy a blade with more teeth to cut 6" baseboard (finish work). The blade that came with the saw would leave too rough of a cut. by the way, the saw is great. I love it.

These blades are designed for about 1500 rpm. And I think most miter saws are around 3600 rpm. It most likely wont do the blade any good to spin it that fast.

We bought this blade for our Makita 12" compound miter saw with laser. Sorry, not that knowledgeable when it comes to such things. My husband put the saw blade on, I just ordered it.

No this saw is design for metal only, you would want to purchase a mitter saw for wood
