The Diablo 7-1/4" x 40-Teeth Finish Saw Blade for Wood is engineered for smooth, clean cuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, laminate, and melamine. Designed by Diablo for use with standard and cordless circular saws, this finish blade delivers a noticeably cleaner edge than a typical framing blade while still maintaining excellent cutting speed and long service life - making it a reliable everyday choice for jobsite finish work including decking, fencing, fascia, and dimensional lumber.

Key Features

• High-performance TiCo Hi-Density carbide specifically designed for each application - maximizes cutting performance and extends blade life across hardwoods, softwoods, and sheet goods
• Perma-SHIELD Non-stick Coating protects from heat, gumming, and corrosion - keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner through demanding jobsite cuts
• Super thin laser cut kerf for fast, durable, and clean cuts - the.059" kerf removes less material per pass, reducing strain on the saw motor and improving cut quality
• Tri-metal shock resistant brazing allows carbide tips to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability - ideal for rough jobsite conditions where blades face repeated stress
• Hardened Steel Body - warrants a longer life and sharper cutting edge, maintaining accurate cuts over extended use
• 40 ATB tooth configuration at a 15 deg. hook angle - balances aggressive feed with a smooth finish on crosscuts and rip cuts in wood and plywood
• 5/8" arbor size - fits the vast majority of 7-1/4" circular saws, both corded and cordless, for broad tool compatibility
• 8000 maximum RPM rating - designed to operate safely within the speed range of standard circular saws
• Made in the United States - domestic manufacturing supporting consistent quality standards

Why This Product

• Delivers a smoother cut edge than a framing blade without sacrificing cutting speed - giving finish carpenters and contractors the quality they need on visible surfaces like fascia, decking, and trim without slowing down the job
• The Perma-SHIELD Non-stick Coating and hardened steel body work together to resist heat buildup, gumming, and corrosion - extending the working life of the blade in demanding or outdoor jobsite environments
• Compatible with both corded circular saws and cordless circular saws via the standard 5/8" arbor - one blade handles a wide range of tools already on the jobsite
• Rated for hardwoods, 2X lumber, laminate, melamine, plywood, and OSB - a versatile finish-cut blade that handles the full range of materials found in framing, decking, fencing, and trim applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this Diablo finish saw blade cut?

This blade is designed for high quality crosscuts and rip cuts in hardwoods, 2X lumber, laminate, melamine, plywood, and OSB. It is well suited for jobsite finish cuts in decking, fencing, fascia, and dimensional 1X lumber.

What saws is this blade compatible with?

This 7-1/4" blade is compatible with both corded circular saws and cordless circular saws. It uses a standard 5/8" arbor and is rated for a maximum of 8000 RPM.

How does the 40-tooth ATB configuration compare to a framing blade for finish cuts?

The 40 ATB (Alternating Top Bevel) tooth configuration at a 15 deg. hook angle is designed to produce a smoother edge than a standard framing blade. It provides an excellent combination of cutting speed and clean finish quality in hardwood, softwood, and plywood - making it the right choice when cut appearance matters.

What is the Perma-SHIELD coating and why does it matter?

The Perma-SHIELD Non-stick Coating is a protective layer applied to the blade body that shields it from heat, pitch gumming, and corrosion. This helps the blade run cooler and cleaner through extended cuts, which contributes to a longer working life and more consistent cut quality across demanding materials like melamine and laminate.
