makes my cordless saw young again…

This blade works very well in my Bosch 18V circular saw.

In fact, the saw was performing so poorly, that I was on the
verge of giving up on it, until I discovered this blade.
The saw was binding, slowing down, and sometimes stopping
completely when attempting cuts in 2×8 and 2×6 fir lumber.
It would make maybe four or five cuts on a fully charged battery.
I tried two different, brand new blades (one of them by Bosch)
and got the same dismal performance.

On a whim, I decided to give this Freud D0624X Diablo a try,
hoping that the non-stick coating would improve things.
In a word, Wow!
The difference is like night and day.
I can now make at least two dozen cuts before recharging the battery
(in 2×8 lumber). The saw no longer feels sluggish and underpowered.

I’m sure there are other good brands of saw blade out there
– after all I’ve only tried three of them - but this particular Freud
blade exceeded my expectations considerably.

Hope this helps other cordless circular saw owners.
