Dewalt 712 Blade

[Anonymous]

Hi Folks
A BIG THANKYOU to everyone who responded to my last query but I now have another one.
I have decided to go for the 712 as there is a good priced one on Ebay item No. 4358946437 , unless anyone knows of a better deal?
But my main query is about a blade, is the one that comes with it good for general use and would I have to get another for crisper results on mitres for frames and if so what would be the best to get.
Cheers

60 or 80 tooth will give you a crisp cut and a glass smooth finish. Well worth it.

I'll second that. I put a DW 60 Series 80 tooth blade in mine and the finish is indeed glass smooth.

I've also bought the anti break-out block but haven't fitted it yet so not sure what the story is on that yet.

I agree with both Noel & Scott.

Scott,

I've also bought the anti break-out block but haven't fitted it yet so not sure what the story is on that yet.

Anti break-out block, could you drop a posting with a picture when you have tried it out?

I am intrigued..

Checkout this link and save yourself a tenner which will go towards a blade http://www.powertoolsuk.co.uk/webcat/de ... 712&ID=792

Thanks Derek, once you add postage the saving is £1.90 which is a saving none the less and I would rather give my cash to a fellow Scot than a Yorkie :-# what have I said :!:

Grumf,
its worth bookmarking that site i sent you as they are pretty reasonable on most things and check out their edeals as they have some excellent bargains.

Look at this link which is in their edeals section which is imho better than the dewalt as it uses a larger blade so you should be able to cut longer lengths and save £50, can't be bad.

and you also get a 60tooth blade so you save on buying a blade also.

Thanks again Derek, but I have made my mind up to go with the 712, but does anyone know a good supplier for blades at give away prices :?:

Personaly i won't use any other blade but freud i have had one nearly two years now on my mitre saw and it still cuts as smooth as a babies bum so my advice is pay the little extra and go for the freud. My blade has 60 teeth in case you are wondering and i couldn't ask for a smoother cut. You no the old saying "you get what you pay for" and i have learn't that this is very true when it comes to tools and accessories.
