Undercut Saw Blade, 6-1/2" Diameter - Replacement for Crain #821 - Compatible with Crain Undercut Saw #812, #820 and #825 - Carbide Teeth

So far, nothing to dislike. The cost was reasonable and the cut is smooth.In addition to the fine cut blade, I used the rip blade to saw thick hard maple. Cut like a hot knife through warm butter.

Replaced my old blade with one of these. Cut seasoned oak like a hot knife through butter. Very Nice!

Good quality product at a very competitive price… I received 2 blades for the usual price of 1.

Simply packaged, no frills blade. Fits most common 10” table saws and mitre saws. Always good to have a spare. I have this in my Dewalt portable saw for general ripping.

The media could not be loaded. We tested the Caliastro blade rip cutting hard maple and it did a decent job. Watch our test video and read on for our impressions: -- WELL BALANCED: The blade rotated evenly. -- NO BURN: There was not cut burns over a long 4 ft rip cut..-- NICE THIN KERF: Over the last few years Ive really preferred to used the .095" thin kerf blades such as this one. Less cut resistance. -- SMOOTH EFFORTLESS CUT: Over the length of the maple, the cut was effortless with no binding or pinching. -- SWIRLS IN CUT: With only 32 teeth one needs to expect some swirls in the cut. With this blade if this is a exposed finished edge the lumber would have to be put through a jointed to clean up the swirls. But as its only a 32 tooth blade the swirls are not unexpected. The video shows a close up of the swirls. -- PERFECT FIT. On a large 5HP Unisaw, the 5/8" diameter hole fit perfectly on the arbor.

This is a ripping blade, ok for rough carpentry but not for fine trim. Metal and teeth seem fine but it is poorly balanced so you can’t get very good cuts with it.I can’t find anywhere on the blade, packaging, or listing, that says where this was made.

I ordered this saw blade to replace the blade that came with my new miter saw. That blade had seen only light duty cutting door trim for three doors, but it had fewer teeth than the Caliastro. I expected 32 teeth to offer a smoother cut than the original blade.The Caliastro blade took 7 days to arrive on my doorstep in a soft package envelope. Inside the envelope, the blade was stored in an undamaged carboard container in which the blade was further enclosed in a transparent plastic bag. A soft plastic strip wrapped around the teeth of the blade so that each tooth was covered by the plastic protector. More on that in a moment. The new blade appeared to be sturdy and well-made.I removed the old blade from my miter saw and set it aside. I then installed the new Caliastro blade on the saw. It fit perfectly. I plugged in the saw, positioned a 2X4 fir stud, turned on the saw, and sliced through the 2X4. The cut was smooth, and the saw easily passed through the wood. Pleased with what I saw, I unplugged the saw, and started to put stuff away. I decided to store my old saw blade in the Caliastro packaging to help preserve it. I began by attempting to wrap the old blade's teeth with the strip of plastic. About halfway around, I encountered what I though was a piece of staple embedded in the plastic strip. I pulled the strip off and attempted to remove the staple. To my surprise, it was not a staple. It was a carbide tooth from a saw blade. I reopened my miter saw and slowly turned the blade. Sure enough, the Calistro blade was missing a carbide tooth. The tooth had come off cleanly and not broken. Fortunately, in came off in the plastic strip before I ever installed it on the saw. If it had not been embedded in the plastic, I likely never would have noticed it was missing from the blade. I had a momentary vision of the tooth flying off when it hit the wood for the first time. I shall be removing the Calistro blade from my miter saw because now I'm worried about quality control because I had seen no damages to the packaging to suggest that the blade was damaged in transit.I've decided not to give the Calistro a 1 star rating because other than the detached carbide tooth, the blade appears to be well-made, And other reviewers have apparently not had the problem I had. Statistics suggests to me that the product could be good in general with only a few manufacturing defects out of thousands, and perhaps I got the lemon. I understand that mechanical objects get old and break, but this was a new blade. However, the possibility of a loose tooth fresh from the factory worries me. Nonetheless, I'll give them the benefit of my doubts with 3 stars rather than 2.

I took this blade out to my shop and installed it on my table saw and made a rip cut in a piece of maple to see how it did. I also made a cross cut in a piece of plywood for the same purpose. The rip cut was smooth and burn free. The cross cut of the plywood was smooth and did not cause any significant pull-out, as shown by the picture. The blade cuts a kerf of about .09" which is super skinny. This is a really nice combination blade and will definitely get used in my shop and and I would certainly recommended it. The price is very good and it seems to do a great job - I just hate the idea of paying $40.00 or $50.00 or more for a saw blade.Now about the statement in the description that "Works with all major reciprocating saw brands such as DeWalt, Makita, Ridgid, Milwaukee, Porter & Cable, Skil, Ryobi, Black & Decker, Bosch, Hitachi, etc." Wait. WHAT? Okay, no one that is looking at this blade would think it is used in a reciprocating saw. Do the people who write these descriptions even know anything at all about the product.
