Diablo Tools has added a 7-1/4-inch, 60-tooth Wood Demon Ultimate Finish circular saw blade to its product line. The blade is intended for both handheld circular saws and compact cordless or corded miter saws. According to the company, the design uses a new Dura-Blend carbide formula and a cutting surface configured to reduce blowout and extend cutting life. Diablo reports that the blade can produce a finish comparable to sanded wood and deliver up to twice as many cuts per battery charge as standard blades.
The tooth geometry includes a five-degree axial shear-face grind and a seven-degree positive hook angle, features that the manufacturer says improve performance across different saw types. Additional elements such as a thin-kerf body, high-alternate top-bevel teeth, laser-cut stabilizer vents, and tri-metal brazing are intended to limit vibration and maintain accuracy. Diablo positions the blade as a solution for finish carpentry tasks that previously required larger 10- or 12-inch saw blades, citing the trend toward smaller, more mobile tools on construction sites.
