Javier Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Looking for suggestions on a good 6-1/2" circular saw blade for my m18 brushed circular saw for when the blade needs to be replaced. I'm considering a diablo framing blade or the Bosch daredevil framing blade. Which do you think is better or do you know another brand that is better?

Harold Wray Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 So you got the m18 fuel. Cool. I have the normal m18 and I LOVE IT! I bought the diablo fine tooth and the diablo framing blade from home depot. Both have been great for me. The fine tooth gives me a splinter free cuts every time. I have not used the daredevil yet.

Conductor562 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I use Diablo blades and they are fantastic. The red will look better with your saw as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have an older Makita 7 1/4" and I use the Diablo framing blade, got em two for one, and I love em. Not like I use it a lot, but it does cut like a hot knife through butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I use Diablo blades and they are fantastic. The red will look better with your saw as well Yeah I like the idea of matching color. Everyone raves about diablo blades also I seen a tia video where Eric and Dan really like the Bosch daredevil blades so I don't know which to choose.

Conductor562 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've never used the Daredevils, but I've got the Freud blades on just about every saw I own and they are fantastic. The Avanti blades are ok, but nothing like the Diablo's. As information, Dewalt OEM blades are made by Avanti which is also owned by Freud.

Javier Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I am very happy with my m18 circular saw. No problems at all.Same here, that thing is awesome, I'm still getting the fuel one day but for now I am completely satisfied with my m18 saw. So much so I even sold my corded because I had no use for it after the m18. With 4.0 batteries this thing lasts a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I always thought that the Dewalt blades that come in the saws we sell looked very similar to the Avanti blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETS7345 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I use alot of diablo blades and irwin marathon blades in my table saws and miter saws..both are great choices for circular saw also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 As you probably all ready know I love the Diablo and Daredevil blades. I have to say my Milwaukee blade that came with the saw lasted a long time, longer than expected. Problem is you can't find them anywhere.

Harold Wray Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I agree. I used the included Milwaukee blade for a long time. Then when I needed a new one I could not find another Milwaukee 6 1/2 blade anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not sound like I am being brainwashed by Conductor, but those blades were probably OEM'd by a company for Milwaukee so they could put one in the packaging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 They sell them in home depot online for about $16 which is pushing it in terms of price for me for a small framing blade. On paper the endurance blades seem to have similar specs as the other two diablo and Bosch except for some special coating like the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think your right, I am sure someone makes the Milwaukee saw blades. $16 for the Milwaukee blades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 You'd be amazed at the shit companies re-brand from other manufacturers. I've seen people argue over which is better when in reality the came off the same line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I went in to HD and Lowe's to look at the Bosch and Freud blades and neither store carried the Bosch. Lowes didn't even have the diablos. Wanted to compare in person, oh well I guess next time I'll just pick up a diablo blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Diablo by Frued is a Home Depot exclusive(in terms of Retailers/Big Box stores) Just an FYI the presents of Bosch will be expanding in Home Depot as well. All Bosch Daredevil Paddle Bits will be exclusive to Home Depot(they were available at Menards, but are being pulled from their stores).
