Review: Best blade you can buy - Best blade around. Stays sharp and the teeth dont fall off like cheap blades. I cut a lot of stainless and tubing, no issues after thousands of cuts.
Review: Really good at cutting all kinds of metal - The Diablo D1260CF 12-inch Steel Demon 60T Cermet II Carbide Ferrous Metal Saw Blade is a game-changer for anyone working with ferrous metals, such as steel, iron, and other tough materials. As a DIY enthusiast and metalworker, I recently had the opportunity to use this blade extensively, and I must say that it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. In this comprehensive review, I will discuss its design, performance, durability, and overall value. **Design and Build Quality:** First and foremost, the design and build quality of the Diablo D1260CF are outstanding. The blade features a 12-inch diameter, making it versatile for a variety of cutting tasks. It's constructed using Cermet II carbide teeth, a high-quality material known for its incredible durability and heat resistance. The blade is also equipped with 60 teeth, which are specifically optimized for cutting through ferrous metals. The teeth are razor-sharp, ensuring precise and clean cuts every time. The design of the blade incorporates laser-cut stabilizer vents, anti-vibration technology, and Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating. These features collectively reduce heat buildup, minimize warping, dampen vibrations, and prevent corrosion, all of which contribute to a longer blade life and superior performance. It's evident that Diablo has invested in thoughtful design to deliver a blade that's both efficient and durable. **Performance:** The performance of the Diablo D1260CF is where it truly shines. Cutting through ferrous metals has always been a challenge, but this blade effortlessly slices through them like a hot knife through butter. I was impressed by the smoothness of the cuts and the lack of sparks or excessive heat generation. It delivers burr-free and virtually no-rework cuts, which is crucial for precision metalworking. One of the standout features is the blade's ability to maintain consistent speed and accuracy even when cutting through thick or dense materials. The carbide teeth stay sharp for a prolonged period, reducing the need for frequent blade changes. This not only saves time but also minimizes the cost of replacing blades frequently. The anti-vibration technology ensures a stable and quiet cutting experience. This is a significant advantage, especially for extended cutting sessions, as it reduces operator fatigue and enhances safety. **Durability:** Durability is a vital factor when considering any cutting tool, and the Diablo D1260CF doesn't disappoint. The Cermet II carbide teeth are exceptionally hard and resilient, and the blade's overall construction makes it highly resistant to wear and tear. Even after extensive use on various ferrous materials, the blade remained sharp and in excellent condition. The Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating not only aids in preventing corrosion but also reduces friction, extending the blade's lifespan. This protective coating also keeps the blade clean, which is a plus for easy maintenance. **Value and Conclusion:** In conclusion, the Diablo D1260CF 12-inch Steel Demon 60T Cermet II Carbide Ferrous Metal Saw Blade is a top-tier cutting tool designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Its remarkable design, outstanding performance, and exceptional durability make it an indispensable addition to any metalworker's toolkit. While it may be a bit pricier than some alternatives, the long-term cost-effectiveness and the quality of cuts it delivers make it a worthwhile investment. If you frequently work with ferrous metals and demand precision, efficiency, and durability from your saw blade, the Diablo D1260CF is a stellar choice. It has consistently proven its ability to cut through tough materials with ease while maintaining its sharpness and integrity. I highly recommend this saw blade to anyone seeking a reliable and high-performance tool for ferrous metal cutting applications.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cut 16 GA steel studs?**
A: Easily. We used it to cut 3/8’s steel plates, and it worked great. It even cuts galvanized like butter. I can’t recommend this blade enough. But you have to use the correct saw, you can’t use it on a regular table or skill saw. The correct rpm is on the blade if I remember correctly.

**Q: Does this blade have a diamond arbor? will it fit a 8.25" skillsaw?**
A: Hi
No diamond at all. .only 5/8 arbor. 
Also I bought it and says up to 4300rpm only. ..not like in the picture up to 9000rpm...
So you'll probably need to check the exact saw with the right rpm. ..I've bought it for my flexvolt 8.25 table saw and he's running for 5800 rpm. ..so I don't think I'll use that blade in my flexy. ...

**Q: I have aluminum sheets, 1/4” thick.    I would like to make several cuts.   Can this blade handle my need?**
A: I can't answer your question directly but cutting a soft metal like aluminum is a challenge.  It binds in a griding wheel or in the teeth of a hack saw blade.  I would do a web search for the best way to cut 1/4" aluminum.  A plasma cutter should work.  I did not have good results with the Diablo wheel cutting a piece of steel.  I removed it from my chop saw and stashed it with other unused blades.

**Q: Does this work well in Aluminum?**
A: I can personally tell you it works well with aluminum. It also cuts stainless, which I thought was impossible, but the rep showed us that it does. We’ve cut steal 1/2in thick angle iron with these blades, I can’t recommend it enough. We’ve bought probably over 20 of them now. We cut a lot with them, they last a long time cutting smaller stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cuts fast, little heat generated, and priced right
*by R***H on July 11, 2023*

I have an Evolution metal cutting saw that I purchased recently. In the past I have always used a grinder or chop saw with an abrasive blade to cut metal but I was introduced to cold saws about 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with them. They cut quickly, don't make sparks, dust and a mess like abrasive blades do and you can handle the steel immediately without worrying about burning your hand. The biggest drawbacks to these cold cut saws are the blades as they are much more expensive than an abrasive blade and if not used correctly can dull rather quickly. The blade that came with my saw was a multi-material blade which worked fairly well but became dull rather quickly after I cut some stainless steel. I was going to replace it with another Evolution blade that was specifically designed for ferrous metals but in looking around on YouTube found a guy on who had tested many blades and this Diablo came out as one of the best for overall performance. I've used Diablo blades in the past for wood working and was always happy with their performance so I decided to try this one. I've only made about a half dozen cuts so far (on 14 gauge square tubing) but the blade cut quickly, accurately and generated very little heat so so far so good. The biggest question, however, is the one I can't answer yet which is longevity. Will this blade be junk 10 cuts from now or is it going to last for a while? I'll have to reserve commenting on this till I use it more and then update my review but at this time I'm quite pleased.
