Don't buy a 40 or 60 tooth blade just because it has more teeth.
The more teeth you use, the more power you need.
So an under powered saw may burn wood or even stall.using a high tooth blade
Battery life will be much shorter.

High tooth **finishing** blades are for cuts where you see the cut in the final product. A butcher block countertop would be an example.
The "good" side of the wood faces downward if you are using a hand held circular saw.
These Italian made blades are a much better deal than the Dewalts that are also currently on sale.
These are very thin kerf, so if you have a wimpy circular saw, these will perform much better than a full kerf blade.
Treated lumber is a 24 tooth kind of job.
Treated lumber is also highly toxic, so always wear a dust mask (and never cut it inside your garage or basement)
A Demolition blade is used if there is a chance that you might hit hidden nails (Nails (and especially decking screws) will quickly kill a normal saw blade)
Your poor saw did not have a chance with an 80 tooth blade; just too much load.
If you see smoke, or if the edges of your cuts are burnt - STOP. Your blade is dull or saw under-powered.

I wasn't going to get this since I usually use higher tooth blades, but I guess at this price it's a great deal to have. According to this test against other framing blades, the Diablo came out on top.
How will these do on a sliding miter saw? I care more about a smooth cut than speed so thinking I should get a higher tooth count
More teeth will have smoother unless the blade is just crappy. I usually use higher teeth blades, but if these cut smooth enough where I just have to sand a bit, it's fine with me.

Keep in mind that these are "framing" blades hence being a 24 tooth design. These are ment for use in a handheld saw like a wormdrive Skilsaw. Your desire for a clean final cut will benefit from the use of a higher tooth count. I would suggest that you go with at least a 60 tooth and better still an 80 tooth. You didn't mention the size of your sliding saw but I don't know on any that are made for a 7 1/4" blade. I have used a 7 1/4" blade in my Hitachi 8 1/2" saw only because I didn't have a replacement blade of the correct size that was sharp. Keep in mind that using the smaller size blade in a saw designed for a larger size the cutting capacity will be less. These are good quality blades and for the use work well but like most things are more expensive than they used to be at this time of year when I would stock up at 10.00 for the 2 pack. I got lucky and picked up several last year for a prized vintage 6 1/2" Skilsaw. 6 1/2" carbide blades at 2 for $10 was a day that made very happy indeed. Hope this helped, stay sharp and stay safe...

Thanks for the feedback. I have always used a 10" non sliding but recently purchased the M18 Fuel Sliding 7-1/4 miter saw.
