DeWalt DW3191 vs. Freud Diablo D0724A

Considering a new circular saw blade? Compare the features of the DeWalt DW3191 and Freud Diablo D0724A in order to make an informed purchase!

Well take a look at these two circular saw blades: the DeWalt DW3191 and the Freud Diablo D0724A.

Features & Benefits

Size

Both blades have a 7 1/4 diameter and fit on a 5/8 diameter arbor. Typical circular saws have a 5/8arbor and accept 7 1/4diameter blades. This means that both circular saw blades should be widely compatible with many circular saws. If in doubt, check the manual for your saw to verify what size of blade your circular saw can take.

The DW3191 is 0.045 thick and cuts a 0.071 (thin) kerf. The Diablo D0724A is 0.04 thick and cuts a 0.059 (thin) kerf. (The termkerfrefers to the width of the cut that the blade leaves in the material being cut.)

Teeth

Both saw blades have carbide teeth in an ATB configuration. The DW3191 has 18 teeth. The Diablo D0724A has 24 teeth.

Alternate top bevel (ATB) teeth are cut on a bevel rather than being straight across. This shape allows them to slice through wood rather than chewing out chunks, leading to cleaner crosscuts. They do have a tendency to be less durable than flat-top teeth.

Pros & Cons

Lets take a look at some of the pluses and minuses of these products.

For the DW3191:

Pros

  • Heavy-duty shoulders stand up to nails in wood with no kickback
  • 18-tooth count makes for fast demolition and dismantling of wood

Cons

  • Leaves rough cuts, not for precision work

For the Freud:

Pros

  • Fast, effortless cutting through most woods including 2x4s
  • Competitively priced given the quality and brand name
  • Thin kerf for easier cutting and less waste
  • Tracking Point design improves cut accuracy

Cons

  • Leaves rougher edge than higher tooth-count Diablo blades
  • More vibration than some similar blades
