Review: Very good blade for TS 55 -- But CHECK THE TEETH ASAP! - I originally bought this Freud blade just to see how it compared to the Festool blade. Out of ignorance, I foolishly used my TS 55 and the stock blade to cut a few pieces of laminate flooring. After that, my Festool blade cut terribly and would smoke and bog down in 3/4" plywood. I did some research and found that the laminate flooring will ruin carbide saw blades--there are several stories on the Festool Owners Group site where others discuss doing the same thing with both their TS and Kapex saws. In my case it was a TS 55 and a DeWalt miter saw. At the time, I didn't know I had ruined my Festool blade--just that it could barely cut through plywood. So last weekend, I removed my dull Festool blade and put in this Freud blade. It cut through the plywood like butter. Zero smoke. Very little effort required to push the saw--I just helped it along and it floated along the track. The Freud blade was fantastic. However, with those positive comments, I had to immediately return the first Freud blade I received. After receiving it, I just happened to look at the teeth. Something about one of the teeth looked odd, like it was cut at a different angle. After looking closer, I saw that the carbide was chipped. 1/4 of the tooth was missing. I looked at the rest of the blade, and found another tooth that was chipped, missing 1/2 of the tooth. The blade obviously didn't get proper QA. I have many other Freud blades and bits that I love, and have never seen anything like this. I returned the blade the same day back to desertcart, and they shipped me a replacement right away. The new blade is perfect and works great. If you order any of the Freud Festool blades, make sure to carefully inspect all of the teeth. But I highly recommend this blade for the TS 55--don't listen to the Festool accolytes that say you should only use Festool blades. For the price, the Freud blade works well for me.
Review: Cuts like a dream - It's a blade so fine it won't leave a splinter. Cuts through wood while keeping cool like winter. Not a single burn mark left behind. Through pretty much everything it glides. I choose this blade over the Festool. You would too unless you're a fool... or just like spending extra money. They're fairly comparable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This blade is excellent. What a difference from the oem blade
*by D***N on August 18, 2015*

This blade is excellent. What a difference from the oem blade. I own a dewalt track saw and just like any saw i got a new blade almost immediately. Even while my dewalt blade was still reasonably new this blade was that much sharper and still sharp. I have used it to put a straight on all my rough sawn lumber from the mill. Even tore threw about 35 feet of 8/4 oak. Went thru it like butter no burn marks or tear out just a smooth edge. I use my saw to break down sheet goods mostly and almost no tear out at all on crosscuts of plywood. I am gonna purchase the lower tooth ripping blade next.
