Amazon.com Product Review
We're rarely speechless around here, but after bringing this blade down through a gorgeous piece of maple, it nearly happened. We knew that Forrest makes some of the best blades on the planet, but we truly weren't prepared for the gorgeous cut we got with this blade. On the back side of plywood, we had zero tearout. When we cut a length of 8/4 oak, it felt like a hot knife through butter, and the result was too good to be believed: smooth as glass, completely free of circle marks of any kind, and it looked like it had been sanded already - cut after cut after cut. You can pick up a miter saw blade for a tenth of this price, of course. It will cut. But it won't cut like this. And it won't last as long as this blade will, not by a long shot. Because it's made of double-hard C-4 carbide, it holds it edge for what seems like forever, and it resharpens beautifully. Forrest spends a good deal of time on each blade, ensuring that it's as straight as can be, and that's part of what you're paying for. If you spent good money on a decent miter saw, you owe it to yourself to put this blade on it. After parting with your money, you will never regret buying this blade. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Product Description
For chop saws and radial arm saws. These top-quality miter saw blades produce perfectly cut miter joints. Made with double-hard C-4 submicron carbide for up to 300% longer life. A heavier than normal steel plate and a negative face hook maintain maximum stability for the best cut. Each blade is hand-straightened to a runout of .001/.002 for maximum cut quality. The tooth style (4 points and a flat) maximizes steady, clean cuts with no bottom splintering. You will be amazed by the extra-smooth, tight cuts you will get with this blade.

Love it! September 18, 2009

I was looking for a great blade for my new Milwaukee 6955-20 Miter Saw (Amazing Saw by the way), and had tried a Freud Diablo, which cost around $75. It made a terrible noise, and cut a little rough, so I contacted Diablo (they said it sounded like the blade had a tension flaw) and I returned it. This Forrest blade arrived today to replace it, and WOW, what a blade. I made several cuts in plywood, and there was almost NO splintering on top or bottom, and the cut itself was smooth as glass. It works beautifully in the Milwaukee, and I'll hopefully never buy another blade that's not a Forrest - I'm hooked. Get over the sticker shock if you have it, and get the blade, you will not be disappointed, it truly is a case of getting what you pay for.
Forrest Miter Saw Blade Makes Smooth Accurate Cuts September 8, 2009

I was doing some repair work on some walls in the house. I needed to buy a quality saw blade for my miter saw. I bought the Forrest ChopMaster based on the outstanding professional and user reviews on the internet. I have not been disappointed, all cuts were precise, clean, smooth, and accurate.
Glass-smooth trim cuts on a miter saw August 12, 2009

Having finished framing a room, I wanted a better quality of cut for the trim. I replaced the 60 tooth Bosch OEM blade that came on my 12 sliding compound miter saw with the 80-tooth Forrest Chopmaster. The cuts are glass-smooth, with no tearout. You can see and feel the difference between the Forrest blade's results and the cuts with the OEM saw, even though Bosch supplies a pretty good blade for framing. The Chopmaster was expensive enough to make me think twice about this vs. a Freud blade, but all the reviews have been very positive. Now I can see why.
Great blade! March 21, 2009

I've had my Makita miter saw for several years and just started using the Chopmaster--what a difference! It cuts like butter--much better than the DeWalt blade I was using.

I have 3 chopmaster blades two chop saws and one for a table saw.There very good blades but they will go dull like other less expensive blades.I rate it slightly better than my CMT blade but it cost twice as much.I like that Forrest will replace the teeth and straighten the blade but you can get very good blades for much less.
