Diablo Tools - Diablo D1060X Finish Blade
Leaves a smooth surface

Finishing Blade Cuts a Smooth Edge
One of the knocks on the-kerf tablesaw blades is that they are prone to deflection and vibration, leaving a rougher cut (especially on crosscuts near the end of a board) than their standard-kerf brothers. Freud’s new Diablo 60-tooth finish blade proves this accusation false. I tested it in very hard woods such as hickory, hardwood plywood, and oily exotics like Goncalo alves. Without exception, it left behind a smooth surface with no tearout after every cut. It’s an excellent blade at a great price.
