It still had a major wobble.Amazon won't accept returns after 30 days. When I mounted it on my Porter Cable power mitre, it had a VERY noticeable wobble - I estimate about an 1/8" - I removed it to check that I mounted it properly (no debris on the flange) and remounted it. Anyone need a brand new warped blade for cheap $. I bought the Irwin Marathon 12" 100T blade in February 2006. I went to use it the first time in September of 2008.
Sounds like his was a defect, bad luck. The cut quality is near the top with perfection. There is no need to go out and buy a more expensive blade because they can have their share of defects also. Send it back and try another. After many months and jobs it still cuts great. I had to laugh at the guy that said his wobbled.
My son is a quality woodworker and appreciated the smooth cuts he gets using the blade.Extremely smooth cuts for trim and flooring. Amazon had these blades deeply discounted a while back and I took a chance after reading the one review about the blade being warped. The ones I received were perfect and I gave two of them away to my son and daughter (my 32 year old daughter loves it after installing a bamboo floor in her house).
That one shows no wobble. Sent it back to Amazon and replaced it with an 80T Bosch for a few dollars more. I guess there is a reason Irwin blades cost a little less. When the blade came I mounted it on my Delta compound miter saw and even before I made a cut I noted that the blade wobbled when I took it up to speed. Double checked that there was no problem with the mounting of the blade and still found a noticible wobble.
Ideal for trimming. It's able to take hair thick cut without sliding on the work piece. I just ordered the 80T for my table saw. This is simply the best blade I have ever used on my Dewalt miter saw. It cuts through hardwood (maple, cherry) like butter and produces a 320 finish.
