Diablo D1280X 12 Inch 80 Tooth Fine Finish Saw Blade 1 Inch Arbor Hi-ATB Carbide Miter Crosscutting Hardwood Molding Plywood Melamine

Achieve Flawless Fine Finishes with Ultimate Precision

Transform your woodworking projects with the Diablo D1280X 12-Inch Fine Finish Saw Blade, the ultimate choice for trim crews and cabinet makers demanding professional results. Engineered specifically to maximize the performance of sliding and "chop" style miter saws, this blade features a high tooth count and special cutting geometry that produces incredibly smooth cuts. Whether you are installing crown molding or cutting delicate veneers, the D1280X minimizes "grabbing" and blowout, leaving a polished surface that requires little to no sanding—saving you valuable time on the job site.

At the heart of this blade is Diablo's proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, capable of withstanding extreme impact and retaining a razor-sharp edge four times longer than standard carbide. The blade is coated with Perma-SHIELD®, a non-stick aluminum alloy formulation that shields the blade from heat, gumming, and corrosion, ensuring frictionless cuts even in resinous woods. Ideal for crosscutting oak, pine, melamine, plywood, and intricate molding, this tool delivers the precision required for fine carpentry and high-end finish work.

Key Features

• TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: specifically designed for fine finish applications to provide maximum cutting life and performance.
• Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick coating protects the blade from heat build-up, gumming, and corrosion for smooth, fast cuts.
• Super Thin Laser Cut Kerf: Reduces the amount of material removed, allowing for faster feed rates and cleaner cuts with less dust.
• Tri-Metal Shock Resistant Brazing: An advanced brazing process allows carbide tips to withstand extreme impact for maximum durability.
• Hi-ATB Tooth Design: High Alternate Top Bevel geometry provides splinter-free cuts in plywood, melamine, and hardwoods.
• Hardened Steel Body: Laser-cut steel plate offers stability and flatter cuts compared to stamped bodies.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To extend the life of your fine finish blade and prevent burning on expensive hardwoods like Oak or Cherry, ensure you clean the blade regularly. Pitch and resin buildup (common when cutting Pine) can cover the carbide teeth, causing friction and heat. A simple wipe-down with a blade cleaner keeps the Perma-SHIELD coating working effectively.
