A:  Yes

A:  No higher tooth count would be better.

A:  It will work well

A:  Yes.

A:  No - You need more teeth per inch and a finish or kerf blade.

A:  Yes it works well

A:  It will cut laminate flooring but I've found that I would rather use a blade made for finish carpentry... So more teeth, cleaner cut.

A:  Yes it would its a very good product

A:  No

A:  YES!!! And it will work great.

A:  Yes it will work

A:  Depends on the size of the arbor meaning the shaft on which the blade sits. There can not be any play between the arbor and the blade. Get your saw's model number and cross reference with what Frued has published. Then, you can never go wrong.

A:  yes

A:  That is the same daw I put it on. Should be fine for any 71/4" saw

A:  They are both a 5/8 arbor so yes it will work.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes

A:  Yes, it will. Both have a 5/8" arbor.

A:  Hi Mattm, Thank you for your question. Yes this blade will work with your saw.

A:  I am baffled by how many people put an 1/8". Not even close. Thats more than twice as thick as the blade kerf is. It is less than a 1/16" (.059 to be exact.) Easy to see who failed math in these answers.......

A:  1/16 "

A:  1/8 inch

A:  1/8 inch

A:  Hello HFarm, glad to help answer your question. The blade kirf is very thin with a kirf of only 1.5mm (.059”). Hope this helped.

A:  .0625 or 1/16 of an inch.

A:  1/8".

A:  The kerf is .059"

A:  Dear Hfarm, Thank you for your question. The kerf is .059" hope this helps!

A:  Asking about the kerf?

A:  It's a demolition blade and is meant to be able to cut thru nail embedded wood and nails and such without getting damaged or having the teeth break off.

A:  Cost and blade thickness

A:  Different metals or composites that makeup the tips, how the tips are positioned, etc depend on the material and the density of the material being cut.

A:  Hi James, Thank you for your question. There are several things that make the Demo Demon different, such as Lock-Tooth Technology which provides a stronger tooth-to-blade body connection and a 3 tooth grind sequence for better tracking when cutting. The carbide blend is also slightly different. In short all these things add up to provide longer life than the Tracking Point Framing Blade (D0724R). If all you are doing is framing D0724R would be the best choice, however if you are doing demolition work then D0724DR would be the better choice. Hope this helps.

A:  The only difference I noticed using it, is it seems to track more straight. Have not used this blade as much to know how long it will last. Only built steps and handrails on a small deck. I bought the 2 pack.

A:  Usually the R at the end means rebuilt or refurbished.

A:  Got more use out of it

A:  I am not sure by seeing only part numbers. If there is a difference in the number of teeth then the more teeth the blade has may mean a finish blade - plywood or smooth cut.

A:  Hello NK, glad to help. Both are framing blades but the D0724A from what I found is a Wet Lumber Framing Blade. Hope this Helped.

A:  The D0724R is the order number for a single blade and the D0724A is for a ten (10) pack.

A:  They will, but as with any blade, I'd not make it a habit. I've cut through a few 8d and 16d duplexes without any major damage to the blade.

A:  Hello Questioner, as long as it is not a reoccurring thing you should be fine. I did just that a few times when building one of my out buildings & the blade fared ok. Hope this Helped. BTW they can be resharpened when need be.

A:  Oh yeah. I do it all the time. Not always on purpose....but it cuts through them without a problem

A:  Hi, Questioner - Even though D0724R #793-616 Diablo 7-1/4” 24T Framing blade is not listed as a demolition blade, it will cut through nails. If you are doing true demolition work, the Diablo 7-1/4” 24T Demolition/Framing blade is the perfect blade. To check it out, just search homedepot.com for Product #D0724DR.

A:  Any blade with carbide teeth can take a nail....however the tooth/teeth that hit the nail will most likely get chipped. The blade will still work well enough to cut.

A:  Yes, the circular saw blades can be sharpened.

A:  Yes they can. I work with a gentleman who has sharpened one of his and mine. It will extend the life some. However, if you have to pay to have it sharpened, you're likely going to be hard pressed to get it done for less than the $9.99 that the Depot sells them for.

A:  Hi, Froggle - Diablo saw blades can be re-sharpened up to 3-5 times on an average by a certified re-sharpener. However, sometimes due to the cost of re-sharpening versus purchasing a new blade, it will sometimes be cheaper to purchase a new blade.

A:  Any blade can be sharpened....carbide tooth or not. The question is it worth the time? Since time usually coincides with money. It will be cheaper to just buy a new blade (currently $9.99) than to spend the time to sharpen. Especially if the teeth are carbide tipped as they need to be sharpened square.

A:  Hello Froggle, good question & Yes they can be. Also Diablo has listed Centers for just that thing. I've included a link for you. Great Saw Blades BTW! Hope this Helped. Link: http://www.diablotools.com/sharpening

A:  Hello Jack1, this is not the Blade I would Choose to cut this. I would use the Diablo 7-1/4 in. x 48-Tooth Steel Demon Ferrous Metal Cutting Saw Blade. This is the correct blade for your needs. Hope this Helped. Here is the link: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Diablo-7-1-4-in-x-48-Tooth-Steel-Demon-Ferrous-Metal-Cutting-Saw-Blade-D0748F/100098833

A:  It would probably do fine, we used to cut aluminum panels like that with a similar blade. Just have to support it well.

A:  Hi, Jack - The D0724R will cut the material but is not recommended. We recommend the 7-1/4 in. x 56-Tooth Aluminum Cutting Circular Saw Blade for this application. To check it out, just search homedepot.com for Product #D0756N.

A:  I personally would probably go w a Diablo Blade that has a lot more teeth like at least their 40 count or even up to their 70 count just to make sure you get a nice smooth cut.

A:  How thick is the copper sheet? Confirm that you think it's 1/128" thick? I suppose that you're concerned about cutting a non-ferrous metal with a blade designed for wood. If the copper is 1/128" then the blade won't notice it.

A:  always

A:  Yes

A:  I have seen them some time sold as a 2 pack deal

A:  Please check your local store's inventory to see if they have the 2-blade trial offer in-stock. Thanks.

A:  They were on sale for a period of time

A:  The Diablo 7-1/4” 24T Framing saw blade is recommended for wood only so it would not be optimal to cut aluminum. For clean, burr free aluminum cuts, we recommend Diablo's 7-1/4” 56T Non-Ferrous Saw Blade. To check it out just search homedepot.com for Product #202035231.

A:  Yes if you install it backword, and go slow.

A:  It does say not to use it on ferrous metals. Aluminum is a non-Ferrous Metal, so it would work. But the blade is made to cross cut wood.

A:  yes, this is the same type blade shops use to build them. normally a shop will use a blade with more teeth. if you go slow it'll work fine

A:  I wouldn't. These are designed no ferrous materials. Diablo makes a blade specifically for this: Diablo Demon 5-3/8" 30T 20 mm Arbor TCG Ferrous Blade Brand: Diablo Mfg#: D0530FM
