ATLANTA, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Diablo Tools ("Diablo"), which offers a solution-oriented range of best-in-the-world and best-for-our-world products for the professional user, is expanding its innovative range of Wood Demon^™ Circular Saw Blades with the 7-1/4" 60-Teeth Wood Demon^™ Ultimate Finish Saw Blade. This exciting new blade does what no other blade on the market can do: provide sandpaper-like finishes, long-lasting blade life and unmatched performance on both handheld circular saw and cordless and corded miter saw.

Power tools are evolving to meet the demands of the modern jobsite at a rapid pace. Batteries are lasting longer and generating more amps. Each day, revolutionary tools like the 7-1/4" miter saw hit the market and enable new levels of efficiency. With this single tool—a mobile alternative to big, heavy 10" or 12" miter saws—professional carpenters can work in spaces that used to be inaccessible, such as multiple-story high rises. In the same way, handheld circular saw batteries are more powerful than ever and utilize brushless motors, allowing jobsite professionals to do more work and complete jobs with greater efficiency.

Standard blades for these tools, however, have not kept up.

Most 7-1/4" blades lack the necessary features for optimized performance, often taking a general approach to wood cutting applications for remodels, framing and trim carpentry. This is because standard blades are often crafted using a stamped template on soft steel. The automation processes used for their creation may save companies time and money, but it results in unbalanced, basic geometry with poor brazing. Additionally, standard blades utilize generic carbide teeth that won't hold up with repeated use and cannot achieve advanced tooth designs needed for these finish applications.

In best cases, standard blades work ok for one tool and provide lackluster performance in another. In worst cases, they provide subpar results—tearing, burning, chipping, inaccurate cuts—with short lifespans, costing jobsite professionals time squandered in blade changes, energy wasted with rework and money blown at the store.

Diablo's industry-disrupting 7-1/4" 60-Teeth Wood Demon^™ Ultimate Finish Saw Blade raises the bar for wood cutting circular saw blades. This thrilling blade combines the portability of a handheld saw with the premium performance of a miter saw, unlocking new levels of productivity. Professional users can now obtain flawless finishes without the need of a bulky 10" or 12" power saw—the Wood Demon^™ can do it all, and more.

The radical new 7-1/4" 60-Teeth Wood Demon^™ Ultimate Finish Saw Blade delivers sandpaper-like finishes and up to 2X more cuts per charge. This feature virtually eliminates rework, helping to amp up productivity up to 10X compared to standard blades on the market. Most importantly, these features apply to both portable miter saws and handheld circular saws.

Like most groundbreaking Diablo products, the secret to the Wood Demon^™ Ultimate Finish Saw Blade's superior performance is in its engineering and craftsmanship. Diablo pleased to introduce a Next Generation Dura-Blend^™ carbide for never-seen-before performance and durability. An expanded blade cutting surface area helps reduce blowout, guaranteeing sandpaper-like finishes again and again.

A core strength of Diablo is it's knack for innovative tooth geometries. The blade's radical Axial Shear-Face Grind (ASFG) features a five-degree (5°) angle for up to 2X cuts per change, and a seven-degree (7°) positive hook angle for optimized results on both corded and cordless miter and handheld circular saws. When combined with Diablo's eye for innovative design— including Hi-Alternate Top Bevel (Hi-ATB) tooth geometry, tri-metal shock resistant brazing, laser-cut stabilizer vents and a thin kerf blade body—this exciting new blade provides profoundly precise cuts with little-to-no rework, truly earning the moniker of "Ultimate Finish."

"When we say 'ultimate finish' at Diablo, we mean it," said Russell Kohl, President and CEO of Diablo/Freud Tools. "With the new 7-1/4" Wood Demon^™ blade, we also mean unprecedented productivity, smooth finishes that won't need rework, optimized cordless performance and technological advancements that continue to set us apart from other companies. Why choose between a miter saw blade and a handheld saw blade for the most efficient cut? You can get the same precise finish with a smaller blade thanks Diablo's continued investment in innovation. With the new Wood Demon^™ blade, you don't have to choose—this blade can do it all."
