Diablo Freud Tico Finish BLD 6.5 in 40T – Finish Saw Blade

Designed for finish work that earns a visible edge, the Diablo Freud Tico Finish BLD 6.5 in blade with 40 teeth blends precision with durability. Its TiCo Hi-Density carbide resists wear across long sessions, delivering consistent cuts from start to finish. The blade's super-thin laser-cut kerf reduces resistance, helping you push through material with minimal tear-out. Add in laser-cut stabilizer vents that help the blade run cooler and with less vibration, and you’ll notice smoother operation even on awkward angles or tight joints.

Protection and longevity: the Perma-Shield coating protects the edge from gumming, rust, and corrosion, so service life remains strong in busy workshops or job sites. This blade handles finish cuts across hardwood, softwood, plywood, decking, and fencing, making it a versatile companion for carpentry, remodeling, or deck-building projects. Used with portable saws, it delivers predictable, professional-looking edges without needing extra touch-up.
