Oshlun SBW-120028 12-Inch 28 Tooth ATB Ripping Saw Blade with 1-Inch Arbor

I bought this finish blade for my 12" Dewalt sliding miter saw. I have purchased some small, 4½" blades for my Rockwell saw. Don't laugh. The little saw is a lifesaver for demo and trimming in tight spaces. That said, I was happy with the construction and quality of those little blades so decided to try this 12", as well as a 10" for my table saw. For the price, I'm really impressed. Super sharp, quiet, and runs true with no vibration that I could specifically attribute to the blade and not the belt drive on the saw. I've used this with oak, pine, fir, poplar, Finnish plywood, and maple with excellent results. The cut is exceptionally smooth and tear-out is usually minimal to nonexistent. The plate is nice and heavy, which I prefer to the more popular thin kerf blades, due to the fact that when you're cutting prefinished hardwood crown in the nested position on your saw, there is very little blade deflection throughout the cut. It can be difficult to get a perfectly tight joint in a hardwood crown with a thin kerf blade as the blade will want to deflect to the side as you move through the cut. When you're working with custom trim that can run $80 to $150 and up per 8' stick, you want the best cut the first time, every time. I had considered other brands like CMT and Freud. Both of which I have a lot of experience using. I don't miss the Teflon coating of the CMT or Freud, but I also don't cut much wood that has a high resin content. The expansion slots are plugged with what I believe is copper. So it doesn't overheat or have that annoying ring that lesser blades can have. I found this to be true with the 10" blade in my table saw as well. If you're looking for an alternative to higher-priced blades, I'd give this one a serious look. I've done approximately 6 or so jobs with this blade and it is still as sharp as when I installed it. If this one has a decent lifespan, I am seriously considering a repeat buy for this one.

This is a quality blade, not the best which would cost you about three times as much but well worth the price. Well made with ample carbide teeth. I would not hesitate to use this blade on moulding. Very clean cut.

Inherited a radial arm saw. Read the manual and watched the on line vids and got the hell scared out of me and almost put it to the curb as being far too dangerous to use. Turns out, there are specific blades for these saws which minimize the grab of the blade on the wood but are NOT the same blades for for your chop or table saw, even though at first glance they look the same. I initially balked at paying 4-5 times the price of one of those blades for this "right" one, but factored in how versatile the saw could be and the cost of a trip to the local emergency room should the saw sling back on me....and bought one. Smartest decision ive made all month. With the addition of a bushing on the arbor, the blade fit my radial arm saw great and the cuts are smooth. The negative camber design (what sets them apart from other, regular saw blades used on other saws) is what keeps the blade from being too aggressive- essentually keeping it from biting off more than it can chew, and skating up and over the board, or suddenly yanking the board (and potentionally parts of my body) through when ripping. Used this on plywood, mdf, ash and cedar so far, does what it should, I have my fingers and the blade is still sharp.

Been buying these for years and as more people try them the more the price goes up. Still a bargain compared to the bigger name brands. This is a full 1/8" kerf and in my experience is the only way to go with a 12" blade.

Very clean and accurate cuts in hardwood and plywood. Very pleased with results. Be sure to mount correctly, the paint is on the right side rather than the usual left. It burned on test cuts until I discovered my error. Smooth cutting when properly mounted.

I was looking for a reasonably priced full-kerf blade for my 12" miter saw. I had been having issues with a big-name HATB thin-kerf blade deflecting, causing inaccuracies and in some cases actually grabbing the work. After checking out several alternatives I settled on the Oshlun as a kind of low-cost experiment mainly to see if a thicker blade would solve my problem. This one has a .134" kerf with a thick plate and no noticable runout. The results have been stunning. Besides the fact that the blade seems to cut truer with almost no drag, the cuts are clean both on top and bottom sides! We'll see if that keeps up as the blade wears but I have been delighted so far. My blade has C-3 carbide. I think the blade now comes in C-4, which would probably last longer. One thing to look out for is that the mass of this blade is greater than most, which will cause it to coast longer when shut down or put more strain on your blade brake if you have one. Oshlun has won my loyalty with a great product at a great price.

Very sharp and stays sharp longer than many others. Runs fairly quiet, relatively speaking

I have a number of Oshlun blades in various sizes and tooth counts. I got this to put on my 12" Minimax slider as a more or less universal blade. I can crosscut anything and have ripped hardwood stock up to about 1 1/2" with it without burning. The cuts are clean with very little splintering on the bottom face of sheet stock. It's not as good as my Tenryu Gold Medal blades, but it's half the cost and great for utility work. There is plenty of carbide on the teeth and the blade can be sharpened numerous times. This is a good all-around blade for a 12" table saw.

What a huge upgrade over the included blade! The negative hook should honestly be the default with any sliding saw, and can't believe it isn't. This thing has chewed through all kinds of things, and for over a year, and I still haven't had to sharpen it. It still cuts melamine smooth as glass. Really impressed so far.

Lovely blade, and very affordable.

Once I got the 5/8” adapter ring it cuts like a hot dam!

Lost a tooth cutting Walnut. Looks like others had the same problem. Not worth my time or money.

Oshlun's 12" mitre saw blade is equal to or beter than other top ranked blades available in Canada. Their 8" dado set is equally well made. So if you're wondering whether or not to but this 12" blade there is no need to hesitate, you will be satisfied.Dan
