The Best Table Saw Blades of 2023

Sitting right in the sweet spot between ripper and crosscut is the Diablo by Freud, which makes for an excellent combo blade. The Diablo breaks up its 50 teeth into 10 sets of five. Each group includes closely set teeth angled just aggressively enough for ripping while still maintaining a smooth finish for cross-cutting. It was the second-smoothest running blade in the group and left minimal chatter on the wood we ran through it.

The large gullets that separate each group help clear larger amounts of material than a dedicated finish blade when making rip cuts. The laser-cut stabilizer vents trap noise and vibration, which keeps it cool and reduces blade vibration. Laser-cut heat expansion slots allow the blade to expand due to heat buildup, which holds the cut true and straight. Add to that its durable shock-resistant carbide construction, and this is a blade that’s ready to take on the lion’s share of the table saw’s workload.
