12" comp miter saw blades

I was at Home Depot and they had 12" 80 tooth blades made by Oldham, Freud
(thin kerf), Delta, and one other brand, all for $59.95. Does anyone have
anything to say that could help me decide on which one to buy?

I'd go for the Forrest Chopmaster from Amazon (Tool Crib). Best price
and an awesome blade. If you can afford it, it only hurts for a short
time. ;)

with it. While the cost of a better blade takes your breath away, if you
take care of them they will last many years and the cost really comes down.
I have some 10" 80 tooth blades that are 14 years old and still going.

I can help you to narrow your search:

Avoid using TK blades in a 12" MS, and stay away from any Delta blade - they
are cheap, Chinese made crap.

Freud ...hands down. I don't know why a "thin kerf" chop
saw blade. The regular kerf isn't going to deflect as much
and will give better cuts.

I recently bought the Freud Diablo, 80 tooth and it cuts nice and
smooth and so far no tear out at all. I love it!
