The amount of cash this man has to go through buying products to remain un-biased AND building his own testing equipment every week is truly mind blowing...I'll always come here first before buying pretty much anything, doing God's work out here 👑
This is one of the few channels I heard about through word of mouth. A nice man helped me jump start my car at an airport and recommended this channel when I asked what starter he purchased. 3 years later I'm still looking to Project Farm for tool recommendations!
Thank you very much! Some very costly reviews are on the way!!
And some of the tests he does takes a lot of time to finish.
Good as CR when come to testing tools, etc. Great video. Always learn something from this channel.
He has a large following. This channel is obviously profitable. The reviews are top quality and unbiased and he deserves the success, but dont feel sorry for him. :)
As someone addicted to hunting down reviews and information before I make darn near any purchases these days, this channel is always a wealth of unbiased facts and comparisons
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm No, Thank you
Without your Channel and Reviews I wouldn't know which is the Average and the BEST...
Great jobs 👍👌
Todd's the best
Because of him I've purchased better tools and have saved $$$$. Thousands.
@@ProjectFarm so what makes you think “speed” is what determines the “best blade”?
Can we just appreciate how not only he makes the best unbiased reviews but also takes the time to reply to hundreds if not thousands of comments. This man is a treasure we must protect
Thanks!
Completely unbiased opinion here, just found this channel today. Great testing and I'm sticking around
Can we just stop making comments on 3 mil subs to remind everyone they spent a few hundred dollars that made them thousands? I'm just as proud of the dude as you are, but stop.
Appreciate his content, save your admiration for people that are actually sacrificing for others
@@ProjectFarm I don't know if you've compared long underwear yet.
I watch his videos before making any purchases
It's all the same exact very short responses repeated over and over. And he probably isn't even doing it himself
In the several years I've been watching your vids I don't think I've ever heard you get as excited as you did when the Makita blade blew through the first rip test. That was awesome 🙂
Thanks!
Cut thru treated lumber with it like we do here in Hawaii. They don’t last and they deflect thru hardwoods.
which saw blade do you prefer?
@@johnfrombrm whatcha like for here in Hawai’i?
The spider blades last a LOT longer cutting thru treated lumber. My Hawaii blade of choice is the spider.
Todd testing the Makita blade: "Holy Smokes 1.41 seconds very impressive!" That brought a smile to my face😊
lol. Amazing cut speed! Thank you!!
My jaw actually dropped seeing how much quicker the Makita was
It's fantastic for clean wood and doing cross cuts all day long for sure. Obviously it won't hold up for demo work and it isn't good for doing long rip cuts, as the thin blade wobbles too much when it starts to heat up. I love Makita tools as far as an overall brand for tools though for sure. Generally, Makita accessories are mostly average
@@travisjazzbo3490 you happen to know if the 10” is just as good?
@@mlconley As long as you are using it strictly for cross cuts I am sure it is great. Makita ships this blade with all their saws I believe. They even have it for their cordless miter saws.
I've been a carpenter for 40 years. As a carpenter, I want a blade that peforms well, stays sharp and will take an occasional nail without flinching. Makita has always made a very good blade and they used to be my got to until Diablo. Diablo has been my go to for years for value and longevity. But I tried the Spyder blades based on your demo blade review a few months back and I really like them. Spyder is my new favorite blade for performance and value.
Thanks for sharing.
Expensive little devils, $125 for a 10 pack on Amazon.
@@Bob_Adkins your local hardware store should have them for $10 or less per blade
@@MinecraftManSteav Yeah, I see Lowes has them for $10 each. May as well stick with Makita.
@@Bob_Adkins Sometimes Lowe's has them in a 2 pack for around $15. You can't beat it.
I have an old Skilsaw, and put a new Irwin on it. Like my previous blades, it was a fight with any piece of wood, always bogging down, burnt edges, making small tasks into huge work efforts. So, I go looking at reviews to get a new circular saw and come across this gem. Could it really be the blade. After watching this vid in it's entirety, I decided on a Makita blade. You have saved the day... Man, I can't believe how a simple blade change has made life so much easier. Recently, I've been experimenting with slabbing wood and that blade will cut thru solid wet oak 2" thick like butter. And the unbelievable part is, it hasn't wore out yet, although I expect it to, sooner than later. You must excuse me for the extra long rambling, I just wanted to say thanks for your excellent reviews!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I always loved the weighted testing. It's a no nonsense, apples to apples way to compare. Nobody out there is doing a better job of providing real world reviews than Project Farm. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Issue with that is it doesn’t account for the weight of the saw. Extra weight causes extra drag.
A gravity test might be more accurate. Meaning drop the wood down a shaft or something
@@sushi0085 But he uses the same saw for each test. The saw weighs the same amount each time.
@@Gubers yea, the only variable is the blade change, and maybe a knot in the board, which I'm sure he was careful of.
Been in constr. for 20+ years. These results are spot on with what I've observed. Occasional nails happen in the field and the Diablo and DeWalt could take a hit and keep on rolling. Durability means a lot when you buy a lot of blades. Thanks, Todd
Vincent, I agree. I saw the lineup and wondered how what's worked for me would compare. My longest lasting 7 1/4s have been Diablos. The 10" DeWalt on one tablesaw has run through an embarrassing number of nails and stayed relatively sharp for years.
I wonder why the Bosch and Diablo blades had such different performance considering both are owned by Bosch and have similar costs.
So true about DeWalt and Diablo. When working framing we did notice that Diablo definitely lasted the longest. Dewalt would warp at weird intervals for us, but Diablo always dulled before any other major damage. Have used Diablo most of my life, but now wondering if a Makita blade might be worth keeping on hand for hardwood.
That Spyder though, given how little it costs its an absolute beast.
Anecdotally i like to get diablos because they do be lasting longer out there. Even accidently cut into a metal table with my finish blade a bit and the diablo fine finish still cutting clean.
As a framer, the skilsaw is my most used power tool, and I've always gone for Diablo, and they're really solid, but man, I just went and ordered a 10 pack each ($6/blade) of the Spyder (Lowe's) and Makita (Amazon) blades and will keep one saw dedicated for clean wood and another for demo/wood with nails. Thanks for all your work in helping us make better, more informed decisions!
I would have expected a farmers most used tool to be a welder. LoL As a retired carpenter, I used to love it every time I put a new Makita blade on my saw. It made cutting so effortless. That smooth magnesium shoe coupled with a sharp blade and the saw would just glide through the cut like the saw was sitting on roller bearings.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I find that's the best way in the end. Keep an old worn out blade on your old saw and a nice new blade on your newer saw for cutting wood that you need nice edges on. I have pretty much rounded off some blades demoing a roof. Roofing shingles will eat up a saw blade in no time! I always go for a blade that is in the garbage already when I'm doing a project like that. It is definitely going in the garbage after cutting through shingles.
I used both spyder and diablo blades on my saw. The spyder performs fine, but nothing beats the durability of a diablo blade. I use alot of scrap lumber on projects. And i have destroyed a couple of saw blades over time. My current longest running champ is a diablo on my cross cut. It has multiple missing teeth and it still cuts faster than the brand new dewalt blade i put on my miter.
The true test would be "Cutting Through Man-Teacher's Fake Jubblies". 😳
Todd will also have to do a "Fake-Jubblies Bounce Test" on the next banzai-run in the Farmabago!! 😳
This comparison was quite the eye-opener! The Makita was blazing fast but the Spyder blew my mind - especially given its price-point. Wow.
Thanks for sharing.
The Falkenwald was much the same, only in the other direction. Despite being the highest priced by a large margin, it was consistently among the worst contenders.
Yeah. That price point did not last. Spyders are now over $12 and you have to buy 10 to get that price.
I have been reasonably loyal to the Sypder brand but now you've got me looking for a Makita blade for my cordless saw. I appreciate the the time, effort, and thoroughness of everything you test.
Thanks so much!
Amazon has 3 for 16 right now.
I'm honestly amazed at how well that Spyder did for how cheap it is.
I was thinking the same. We don't have it in Romania, though, or at least it's not common.
I'm seriously thinking of buying a 2 pack.....was dead set on the Makita....til the Spyder still finished ahead of it in everything but speed, I'll take the durability over a little speed.....if I used my saw daily I'd buy something else for a DIY'r that Spyder is hard to beat.
Thanks for the feedback.
I've got some spider recip saw blades and I love them, way better than the milwaukee blades I used to buy
When you can undercut the competition by half, it enables the user to spoil themselves with freshies. Huge win
I'm not sure if' you've considered it yet, but I think testing windshield fluid would be a pretty awesome video idea. After smearing bugs across my window last week yet again, I have to wonder if there's a fluid that actually 'cuts though bugs' as the brands claim. I'm not sure if it's because I enjoy the rain repelling formulas or because I only use fluid that stays liquid year round. I know people use plain water in warmer states, i often wonder if it does a whole lot better chemically to remove them. I've seen mixtures of glass cleaner and water as well that probably bridges the gap.
I'd imagine bug guts are reletively oily/ fatty and the water content evaporates on the glass pretty quickly from heat and airflow. They may be water soulable oils and the name brand alcohol based fluids might not cut it.
I like this! Also add a temperature test. How does it do below 32f? Above 120f?
That is a great idea
Not sure if they still have it anymore, but TA truck stops use to have some that I have found was the best. Another option is to get that sprayway brand glass cleaner. That can cut through smeared bugs. I have a pecan tree at my house, so I get pecan sap on my windows. It can cut through that as well
this stuff worked pretty good but i dont remember the last bottle saying citrus scent. it smelled exactly like pinesol so maybe it used similar ingredients. im going to try mixing in some pinesol with regular washer fluid next time i need some bug wash. i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WJkAAOSwv9JeIcoz/s-l640.jpg
Thanks for the suggestion.
All I can say is that all the tests that you do are unbelievably FIRST CLASS!
Thank you so much for all the time, work and money that is involved making your videos.
Thanks so much!
There are two things I REALLY like about your videos: The graphs are AWESOME, and you always test the most important thing first. Thank you for continuing to provide this highly valuable consumer service.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I don't think I've ever heard Todd be as surprised as that "holy smokes" moment with the Makita. Really says something about a product when it can draw out that kind of reaction!
I felt a bit of pride that moment, Makita is in my blood and they seem to get hated on alot 🥲
It actually made me jump a little bit
You really have to appreciate how much time and work that goes into these videos. Todd probably doesn't want to change another blade for a very long time. Great video as always.
Thank you very much!
Who is the best TH-cam product reviewer? Let's find out!
The delivery, details, and overall dedication in your video never fails in continuously astound your viewers. Wonderful presentation Todd, we truly appreciate it.
Thanks!
I’m so happy that your channel has done well. I have been watching since 2017. So good to see good creators finding success.
Thank you so much!
Another great test. The Makita surely smoked the rest when cutting in new, clean wood, but I was impressed by the Spyder brand - very cheap but still out performed most of the high end brands, and even smoked the Makita blade when cutting "dirty" wood. As a Makita man myself I must say I'm impressed. 👍
If you are going to do cross cuts all day through clean wood, especially with a cordless saw, Makita is incredible. However, it is not good for cutting through crap (nails etc as demonstrated) and also, you wouldn't want it for ripping wood, as for long rips, it starts to wobble a lot because it is so thin. I love Makita tools though. I think they are the best bang for your buck by far.
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm I got the DeWalt battery weed trimmer because of your test and am VERY satisfied!
Yes but made in China. I wonder how consistent this is from blade to blade.
@@barkmaker Its more about the company and the quality control they implement for China to build. As you know, most tools are made in China amongst a million other things
Hi, maybe an idea: you're doing an amazin job with those unbiased testing, why don't you make a video "behind the scenes"? Like, how you choose test, the various jigs you created, the data you collect etc... It would be amazing seeing how you work
Thanks for what you do
I'd love to see this!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I would enjoy this as well!
DITTO!!
agreed!
Great video, thorough testing for the review, thank you, Todd!
Your reviews help a lot of people, me included, and I'm sure everyone really appreciates your efforts!
Take care, and may you stay safe, healthy, happy, and prosperous!
This is literally THE best youtube channel on this entire platform, the amount of work, money, and unbias is truly insane, subbed for life. Never give up
Thanks!
Love the unbiased reviews. Really would like to see a bench vise review.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea. Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
Extremely helpful video! Great testing jig. All the hours of work you put into making these videos is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
I cannot say how much I appreciate that you test so much to give us legitimate answers. You think of everything and try to make it objective as possible. Don't stop. The dads of the world need a hero like you.
"WE'RE GONNA TEST THAT!"
That's what we like to hear, brother.
Thanks!
That was a good comparison. I truly appreciate all the effort you put into the comparisons you do.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Big Diablo fan myself, been using them since they first hit the market. The longevity of that blade is amazing. Would like to have seen a test with each blade after 10,000 cuts lol. If this test had been done when Diablo first came out I think it would have stomped all the competition! I just noticed a huge difference when I first used that blade compared to any other I had used. Good to see other manufacturers have stepped up their game.
Yeah love my dialblo blades but I just bought a bunch of spider blades and other accessories can't lie bro there good 10.00 for 2 blades can't beat that I picked up 6 2 packs for 3 bucks a peice there cutting good 👌 👍
@@TacticalThib yeah I was impressed with that Spyder myself. Very impressive for half the price. My main use for by circular saw is cutting underlayment for vinyl flooring. A Diablo blade literally lasts me 10+ years. I have 4 blades a couple of the blades I use on cutting different wood. They are a bit duller but they are 10 years old lol and still cut well. For me a Diablo is a lifetime blade. I have 2 of the 24 tooth and 2 of the 60.
Thanks for the feedback.
Freud/Diablo is so hard to beat. I use them for router bits, saws all blades, circ blades, and for many of my table saw blades.
Saw a Tic Tok the other day where someone was complaining about them, but showed that he installed it backwards lol. Everyone called him out and he refused to believe it.
Diablo blades all around! Pains me when I have to buy a different brand sawzall blade.
I used a new Diablo blade all summer long making hundreds of cuts through approximately 100 pallets full of nails. it has held up extremely well and can still rip a 4 foot 2 x 4 in 10-12 seconds
Thank you for sharing!
That's awesome. Tried and true. Doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for taking the time to share that
No other channel of the same class can ever top this one! Simply outstanding work, Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
This has to be the most useful channel on TH-cam for anyone in trade industries. Many videos apply to tools and parts I use on a regular basis. I appreciate the testing put in to find a superior product for consumers.
Thanks!
Once again, an extremely well thought out process for testing a very valuable tool. I still can't believe you release these once per week. For me it would take about 3 months per video. Very impressive.
Thank you very much!
Being a roofing and remodeling specialist by trade, I absolutely appreciate this vid and what you went thru to bring this to us!! Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great video. I have been a carpenter for 35 years and use circular saws every day. My company uses mostly Diablo saw blades and they seem like a good all around blade for everyday use. I was surprised by the the Makita in your tests and will be purchasing one soon to try. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
We use the Spyder's at work, framing houses, we've gone through quite a few different brands. Glad to see our current stop might be our last stop. Thanks for this!
You are welcome!
You are literally my favorite channel on TH-cam! I’m very happy you are still making videos! You’ve been at it for a long time! I alway check with your videos before I have to buy anything new lol thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
Great video as always, however one thought I think you missed on. Ripping and crosscutting generally take very different blade designs to do well. My guess would be that these saw blades are designed and profiled more towards crosscutting lumber than ripping, as it's the more common cut when framing. I'd be really curious to see if your results would be different if instead of ripping a 1 foot 2x4, you crosscut a 2x12 or lined up multiple boards to get your length of cut. Thanks for everything you do to make these videos. They really are a great recourse for us all
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Back when the blades were steel, yes, the cross-cut and rip-cut needed different tooth designs to be efficient and speedy. With the carbide-toothed blades, I think there's probably a lot less necessity for that. However, it would make a great test to see how each of these blades perform in the cross-cut.
@@somejoe7777 it’s not just about blade material but also how well the blade handles chips, larger gaps leave more room for chips to move around, super important with ripping
Yes, tooth angle, top grind, and gullet shape matter. Similarly, you have blades like the Falkenwald (sp idr) which appear to have less positive rake and appropriately (though vaguely) suggest their use in aluminum. There are blades with features intended for specific applications, but no manufacturer is capable of describing their own products clearly these days, so all you have to work on is a bunch of vague promises and hieroglyphs on the package. Oh, can't forget the copyrighted swoosh marks.
@@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC so in other words, this video is the best option as opposed to guessing?
His are the only videos I like before watching. That's how much confidence I have in his product. Thank for your great work.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Great job on your test mate. One of the most thorough reviews I've seen on you tube. You've sold me on the Spyder blade
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I absolutely love how hard you work to create identical test conditions for each product. PF has become my go-to channel before heading to the hardware store. Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Again, thank you for all your hard work, the great ideas, awesome tests and tight editing. No wasted time. You definitely illustrate the USAF's 6P code - Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. KUTGW.
Thank you very much!! I know that USAF 6P code VERY well. lol
Just one more humble comment thanking you for your extraordinary efforts. You are greatly appreciated.
I appreciate that! Thanks so much!
You are my go to channel for product reviews.
Thanks!
I just want to say thank you for all of your helpful vids
Thank you very much! This means a lot to me!!
Wow that Makita is impressive. My go to blade has been the Diablo. Since you now have an impressive amount of sawdust, you may want to test it against other absorbing materials. I keep sawdust and kitty litter to clean up oil and other automotive fluids.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Bet they'll be out of stock pretty fast
Sawdust works better than any other absorbent I've ever used!!
Will use something called "nature's broom" where I work and it's incredible for absorbing oils!
@@lustfulvengance ha! I remember the old janitor in elementary school dumping sawdust when one of us little germ factories lost our lunch on the floor. He must have known something.
Crushed perlite is the best general purpose absorbant IMO, and is sold under many brands/names - - Chemsorb GA among them.
Always appreciate your time and effort in the videos. Thank You!
Thanks and you are welcome!
The nail test was brutal. Very well done video (as always)! Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
He was NOT expecting that speed on the Makita MAX blade. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm struck by how inexpensive carbide blades have become. Adjusted for inflation, most of these are half what a plain steel blade used to cost. (Yeah, I'm old). Back then there weren't nearly as many options for carbide blades and they were seriously pricey. Four or five blades cost as much as a decent saw.
I remember this old Tony talking about how the Chinese had a hard time making high speed tool steel so they just invested in carbide tips... I guess this is three trickle down of that...
Thanks for the feedback.
IIRC carbide tipped blades were like 40-80$ back in the late 90's.
I remember in the late 80s taking sawblades into town to have them sharpened and to have the occasional carbide re-brazed on. Now they are disposable.
Man i really love your reviews. So thorough! Much appreciated buddy!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thanks Todd, once again your effort in providing none biased reviews has become priceless when it comes to my purchases
You are welcome!
Love your vids man, enjoy every Sunday watching
Thank you very much!
I’ve just completed a hybrid floating floor installation in our house. The floor has a limestone/pvc core and very tough. I used a lot of laminate jigsaw blades made by Diablo but also used a Diablo 60 Tooth fine cut wood circular saw blade in my mitre saw. After the many many many cuts I did with it it’s still cutting really well with only a small loss in cutting ability.
Did you use the carbide one that has a 50x life?
@@Zombieboxx1 the packet says Ultra long cutting life. Carbide blade. I’m in Australia but I’m guessing the product would be the same.
@@Zombieboxx1 they can just lie about it, I pay no attention to ridiculous claims.
This is information I will never need nor use, but I CANT STOP WATCHING!! Keep up the great vids 😄
Thanks, will do!
Project Sawdust Farm for this video. I loved the excitement in your voice when the Makita absolutely shredded that 2x4. Keep up the excellent unbiased reviews, you truly are the best tool reviewer on the internet.
Thanks! Will do!
I was surprised at the Ryobi. They've been stepping up their game in accessories, which used to be pretty poor, and they just announced a range of hand tools.
Thanks for sharing.
Yeah I got a Ryobi 10" miter saw on sale a couple years ago and the blade it came with was great 👍
I wanted to be a believer in Ryobi, but when it came time to honor their warranty on a pressure washer wand that is well known for prematurely failing, they made me jump through so many hoops only to stop responding to my request for a replacement altogether. I won't spend another dime on them.
From now on, I'll only go with Flex who have an outstanding reputation for warranty service.
Yeah i don't think there is a better value when it comes to power tools. I just used their miter saw to cut all the window trim for my house and it did exactly what it needed to.
@@YankeeWoodcraft the retailer should have covered you if they have a no hassle return policy.
Great timing as usual; thanks much for these helpful videos!
Very welcome!
I agree with the other comments. You spend a considerable amount of time to product these videos and it's much appreciated. I really admire some of the tests you come up with, they're really ingenious.
Thanks so much!
Dear Mr.Projectfarm.
I am a long time viewer, and wanted to give you a well deserved "Thank You!" for all your work and dedication. Inspiring!
Thanks!
I know my 18v Makita with Efficut blade was a faster cutter than my 1600w corded tool, but I didn't know the blade made such a huge difference. Amazing work again, thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I use these saws professionally and I have found that the Diablo performs well and holds up for a long time. Also at Home Depot the Diablos go on sale on a regular basis where you can buy a two pack for about $10. I also have some Diablo finish blades which really do a good job for general purpose cutting and they use less battery. The finish blades are more expensive but they also go on sale but less often. Also when you buy the Diablo blades you are not sending money to China. I would rather send my money to our cousins in Europe.
China labor saved the world
It is crazy just how nearly _everything_ is made in China.
I also use Diablo blades on a daily basis and have no complaints.
I am going to purchase a makita blade just for curiosity and I’ll see how well they perform after they get hot and hit a couple nails.
My go to has been the Diablo as well and this video just confirmed it’s a great brand.
@@acz88 They might not 'win' every test he throws at them, but they are consistently very good in testing & like you, I have found the same in my use too.
Great video. I'll use this info when buying my next circular saw blade. Please keep up the excellent work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, will do!
As a man that has AL:WAYS run Diablo and Milwaukee blades, I have to say that I was really surprised at the Makita showing. I will definitely be buying one of their blades for my upcoming project. Thanks Todd. Love your videos.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Hi-five from Scotland! Love your videos. Keep up the great work
Greetings and thank you!!
Absolutely loved this one! Whoduh thunk? I find it very interesting how a name brand can be great at one thing and not with another. I never would’ve selected Makita for a saw blade, so this was quite the revelation.
For new ideas, I think that sockets would be great, because I can’t find any videos that actually test them. I’d also love to see mitre saw blades, 9 inch angle grinders and blades/disks… wow, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find something that you haven’t tested! Bravo!
Todd, you are a hero to those of us that work with tools. I hope this channel is bringing you boatloads of money, bu no matter how much comes in, it will not equal the value you give the world. Thank you, and God bless you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
This channel deserve much more attention. Thank You for all this work, helped me to make a decissions a few times, and its enjoyable to watch Your tests.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I just recently started using the spyder brand and So far I think it’s the best bang for your buck. Thanks for the video it definitely helped me solidify my opinion
Thank you for sharing!
Actually impressive how well a number of blades performed for that $10 price point, but the Makita was a real surprise for shorter cuts on clean wood!
Love your work.
Thanks!
The Makita blades are a dream to use when new they cut almost with no tare out but they don't last as long
Was about to pull the trigger on a 3 pack of makita blades. Looks like there are several reviews saying they can get hot and warp and then cause kick back and binding. For my use I think they will work fine (7 1/4” cordless miter saw) I don’t see the blade binding up on that. Miter saw is a bit under powered for some things so I’m hoping these blades will help.
@@ToolsInAction4u none of these are great blades. They're disposable construction grade blades. Good blades are much more expensive. Also, a miter saw version of these blades may not perform the same. Don't buy a blade just because it fits. Buy a blade for a miter saw.
Awesome experiments! This is my favorite channel by far. You are amazing!!
Wow, thank you!
Great video as always @Project Farm
Thanks!
I really love your reactions on tools that perform way better than expected!
Also great work and I'm really happy that you put so much effort in testing things for us so we all don't waste money! Keep it up :)
Thanks, will do!
This is a great video, I've been using Diablo blades in my circular saw for a few years now and they've been great, looks like there are some other good options too. The Makita looks great for virgin lumber but in most projects I end up hitting a few nails sooner or later.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Always enjoy your tests of various products. Very useful information, thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Another great video. Glad to see the Ryobi blade performs well against the competition. Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
He gonna be the only big channel that’s not sponsored gonna be awesome to this channel hit 10 mill
Thank you! No sponsors ever on this channel!
You’ve outdone yourself with how clever your cut tests were. Bravo! Thank you for showing us what blades are worth their metal :)
P.S. I would have never considered Spider until now!
Thanks for sharing!
Another great review. You are very thorough in your testing and we appreciate you, sir. Thank you!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Really big fan of your channel, this is the only content I watch on TH-cam from start to finish without skipping a bunch of stuff, very well done videos!
Video suggestion: Best Blade/Bit cleaner. There are so many out there I can never decide if I should try some of them or stick with simple green which I’ve been using for years.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I just bought a new circular saw and was wondering about blades. This was great.
Great timing! Thank you
I'd like to see you compare break parts cleaner, is the cheap stuff just as good as the expensive stuff?
its the same
Thank you for the video idea!
I have bought the cheapest and works well 👍 pressure is key with brake cleaners , good pressure and cleaning ability works in sinergy
This would be great
Great idea, I always just use what ever is cheapest.
I always use this channel as go to before any purchase. This dude is amazing!
Thanks!
The blade on my 10 inch Dewalt table saw isn't doing the job anymore so I revisited your video and just bought the Makita blade......Thanks again for all the helpful videos ! ! ! ! !
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I've been a sucker to brand loyalty and DeWalt dominates my tool box / shop. But Makita really seems to always be in the top of your tests, in most any category. I will definitely look hard at Makita in my next purchase. Thanks for all you do. The effort is not without notice from all of your viewers.
PS, I bought my first diablo blade about three years ago and happy with their products. Running it on my circular saw as well as my 12" miter.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Brand loyalty is basically what’s your favorite color 😂
You're being too banal in your explanation. It's not my favorite sports team picks by my wifes standards.
Brand loyalty is more than color. I worked construction for over 20 years and saw what worked and what didn't. DeWalt nearly always survived the hard abuse. Then when running three crews, you have to have duplication of tools for interoperability. Once in any brand, one is forced to stay with it.
But now interoperability is much harder with the rapid change they all are doing.
I'm just a hobbyist now, and have no issues changing brands to get the best quality.
@@bertblue9683 These days TTI (Techtonic Industries) builds most of these tools ….Ryobi, Ridgid, Milwaukee…and says a lot…pre-approx. 2007 those brands were built in this country and much more reliable… Personally I’ve always been a Bosch guy…now the colors in my shop are much more varied…I don’t expect much from big box store stuff as opposed to bench tools…table saws, band saws planers etc….which requires research to find the good stuff
Plain and simple, when I need a tool or blade, I check out Project Farm reviews and tests and get the winner of his torture tests. Hands down, I rely on his expert advise. His tests are fair and unbiased. Thanks for all you do Todd. Your tests are amazing and help weed out the not so great items so consumers that follow you do not waste their hard earned cash on junk.
Thanks and you are welcome
I love your channel and I never miss a video, I always make purchases based on the results of your channel. I would love to see a “tear out “ test on plywood to see which blade makes the cleanest cut in different kinds of plywood , I usually get the Diablo blade as a replacement but I might have to get the Makita!
Thanks again for your hard and informative work!
This channel is the gold standard for testing. Project Farm is like the Nebraska tractor test for products. I love this channel. Great job
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thank you for another amazing video, would you consider testing shop rags?
Thats a great idea!
Thank you for the video idea!
Priceless content as always
I’d like to see you test some crowbars, it would be pretty straightforward but the value that you could add in the selection of the best one is just something I would look before buying another one
Thank you for the video idea!
My best bar: True Temper 1162500 Pinch Point Crowbar with Heat-Treated Steel, 66 Inch, actual weight 32 lbs, made in India
Mr. Todd, your channel is by far the best of its kind on TH-cam. I appreciate your straightforward presentation and thoroughness in testing. I can’t count the number of people I’ve referred to your channel. I wish you would please consider accepting PayPal contributions and allowing for paying for a year membership fee in one payment rather than recurring charges. Thank you for sharing all your hard work!
We really appreciate your hard work!
Thank you for supporting the channel!
that was a LOT of blade swapping and testing... as always A+!
nails sure do take a good bite out of some saw blades! hurts to hit one with a new blade!
Thanks!
The amount of tooth tips lost in this video has me thinking twice about safety glasses.
Even back in the 1980's my Dad and his framing buddies ALWAYS swore by the Makita. Nice to know it still holds up today.
Thanks for the feedback.
You are at the Cutting Edge of product reviews. 👍👍
Thanks!
I love your saw "rig/jig", you come up with the coolest test platforms!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Wow, I was for sure that Diablo would come out on top, like that Spyder and Makita!
Thanks for the feedback.
I've been using Spyder for a few years (blades and drill bits/hole saws). They've been surprisingly excellent and haven't disappointed once.
There’s 50+ tooth Diablo. I’m sure it wouldn’t struggle
This guy is great!! He takes the time to respond to thousand of reviews and does tests on these tools that are actually relevant to the users. Thanks for all you do and keep it up!!
Thanks, will do!
First off, just wanted to say I appreciate the straight-forward unbiased nature of your videos and before I buy any hand tool i come to your channel to see what’s worth my money! I have a suggestion for a comparison video: walkie talkies! I had no idea how much of a discrepancy there would be between a company’s claims and the reviews on those products until I was in the market. Now, I don’t know what to believe and I can’t seem to find a genuine real life comparison anywhere.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
Excellent comparison. Very professional and objective.
Thank you very much!
