    Circular Saw Blade Recommendation needed

    Based on recommendations of this forum, I just ordered a Eurekazone kit for my PC circular saw. Now I need a recommendationfor a good blade that won't break the bank. I like Forrest blades but can't justify that much money for a circular saw blade. Does Freud make a good CS blade? What about other manufacturers?

    I really like the Freud Diablo I have on my Craftsman saw. At around $18 at Home Depot it was kinda pricey (for a circular saw blade). But it has worked well for me with luan plywood and MDF.

    The Freud 40 tooth blade does a beautiful job on plywood.

    Some folks have been saying nice things about a variable tooth blade from PC, I believe.

    Yep. I have the variable tooth blade from PC that works wonderfully.

    Ditto to what Curt said. The 40 tooth Freud from the Orange Borg works very well.

    Thanks to all that replied. I think I will run down to the Borg and check them out.
