I agree. I bought a bunch to have as spares. For the price, it's worth it. The normal price for one of these blades is around $10.

Also agreed. If I do much cutting at all, would buy a lot and treat as disposables at this price point.

These are pretty good blades in my experience. Price is not bad if you need them. Not good enough to stock up, though.

The other side of the coin is what has not gone up in price and likely to continue even more rapidly? Not as if they deteriorate, if you use these and like them, it is better than money in the bank.

About 3 years ago I picked up a 10 pack for about $30 on clearance at Home Depot. I've only used 1 out of the box so far. As I mentioned previously, it's been a very good blade, much better than the Asian made Bosch and Irwin blades that the saw had previously. But I never really thought of saw blades as an investment to counter the inflation that seems rampant these days.

I really can't say enough good things about Freud saw blades and router bits.

Obviously, you are not a daily user of this type, but even on sale, you are already up 70% in 3 years.... better than the bank. Smilie

Yup. Just a home owner with projects. I prefer the 6 1/2" saws I have over than the 7 1/4", so that also slows the consumption. I really like the high tooth count Diablo blades for breaking down veneered plywood. Those 40 and 60 tooth blades are well worth the premium.

For breaking down plywood as a one man operation, wouldn't a sliding table saw with the extra under kerf blade to prevent tear out be awesome? They are all over Europe, but not as popular in the states.

For circular saws, many prefer the larger of the two blades (7-1/4) that can have more teeth by circumference and with the same rpm, has more contact with the wood per rotation. As well, if using everyday and need one, you can walk in about anyplace and find the more common 7-1/4, 10 and 12 inch blades in several types. The 6-1/2 and the 8-1/4 that used to be common sizes, are not so much today. I picked up a box of a 100, 6-1/2 non-carbide plywood blades for 50 cents each on a closeout that I occasionally do use on a 7-1/4 saw, but give more away than I use.

Yeah, a track saw would be nice. A piece of foam laid out on the driveway and a sheetrock square work good enough with either of my 6 1/2" saws, both of which track very straight. As long as I can get the Diablo blades for them I'll be happy.

If I had a 7 1/4" saw that tracked straight and didn't bind up on long cuts, that's probably what I'd use. A box of 100 blades would last for generations, though.

Being decent, but non-carbide Oldham blades, we would normally sharpen, but at 50 cents, they are throwaway that a neighbor takes.

I think I have used every circular saw made and although they all work, still prefer a corded Makita. As long as I remember the maintenance, including new brushes, they last a long time. A 12 to 15 amp corded 7-1/4 saw with decent bearings has as much or more power than a lot of miter and table saws. None of the battery powered track very well and mostly user error from trying to push too fast with not enough power.... got to wait on the saw.

I'm running 7 1/4" worm drive saws 99% of the time. Doing rough carpentry, framing, and demo work. These cheap Diablo blades work out for me. But if I were to do finish work, I would spend the extra money on a finer blade.
