BL1280 12-Inch 80-Tooth Fine-Finish Professional Woodworking Saw Blade for Miter Saws and Table Saws

Great WEN Blade, sharp, durable, works great in my miter saw. Hard to beat the price on good 12" , 80 th. WEN blade.

Saw blade cuts great no tear out and was an exact fit for my craftsman 12 compound miter saw

I'm an amateur woodworker and used this 80 tooth blade on a sliding compound miter saw to cut project oak and it did a great job. Cuts are very clean with zero tear out and no wobble. Miters came out beautifully. I was probably overly cautious about tear out at first and cut too slowly so the blade did burn the wood a bit on the cutting surface at times. I was able to compensate by increasing the speed of my cut a bit and the blade was up for it with no tear out and no scorching. So I would chalk my experience up to learning curve/user error. Overall a great blade. The price is an added bonus for sure. Longevity TBD but I think will be ordering more.

It isn't a diablo, but its less than half the price and cuts clean. After about 80 cuts of 8mm hard laminate I could detect whiffs of smoke. But no change in the cut at this point. My blade was slightly bent out of the packaging (bubble envelope) which royally stinks I had to stick it in a vise and use a couple of crecent wrenches to apply pressure at the right points. It didn't self destruct. I would have returned it but time was a factor. Still better than the cheap offering at the big orange store.

Super sharp and smooth cuts. Easy to install and use.

I was going to have my blade sharpened. This was cheaper than that and I got it sooner. I'm sitting it fit crown moulding and baseboard fit my son's new house. It's doing the job.

The WEN 12-inch 80-tooth blade is an excellent upgrade for my miter saw. It delivers super smooth, clean cuts with almost no tear-out, even on fine trim and plywood. The balance feels great, and it runs quietly without much vibration. I’ve used it for several woodworking projects now, and the edges come out ready for finish with minimal sanding. For the price, this blade performs like something twice as expensive. A fantastic addition to any workshop setup!

I have a Bosch GCM12SD sliding compound miter saw and it's an awesome piece of wood working machinery. But no matter how good your saw may be, it's worthless, dangerous or both with a bad blade. As my grandfather told me long ago "once you see the magic smoke appear from a saw blade, get rid of it immediately". I've owned really expensive blades, most notably Forrest along with "lesser" brands like Amana, Freud etc. Forrest is all marketing BS but that's a topic for a different review. The only advantage to those high blades is you can get them sharpened a few times. But for $100 - $200 for the blades plus $25 to sharpen plus screwing around with the actual sharpening process, where is the advantage over a $25 blade that you can simply recycle and install a new one? And there is NO point to getting a $25 blade sharpened for $25. I used this Wen blade to true up an end edge on the 16 inch wide x 1.25 inch thick granadillo live edge slab you see in the photo. Granadillo is a central American hardwood that has become a replacement for Brazilian Rosewood which became illegal to export about 25 years ago. It's tough stuff but I had no issues, no "magic smoke", and a clean edge cut, all good. I've used this Wen blade to cut curly maple, rock maple, oak, the granadillo I just mentioned and to install 400 lineal feet of baseboard trim - both pine and ash. It cuts smoothly, leaves a nice finish, no burning, smoking, blade marks or other anomalies. Hope that helps!

Fitted to my table saw and very happy. Nice and sharp producing a good cut

Was surprised using this blade in my table saw, cutting 8x4 laminate sheets with no chipping at all. Looks like factory cuts. Very pleased with it. Bought a second one for the skill saw and so far it’s awesome, just as good as way more expensive blades!

I have only used it for a few dozen cuts but so far it makes very smooth cuts. I am working on trim that requires precise cuts and the blade seems to do a very good job. Happy with the results so far.

please with product so far

Price is right for sure. It feels like they dull a bit faster than, let's say, the diablos etc. But I haven't really tested that theory. In the end they do the job and don't break the bank.
