Own both the Woodworker II and this blade, both great blades. Freud finish is smoother, and the blade is so well balanced there is nor run out and no wobble! my only qualm is shipping if this blade by Amazon needs to be better, the sleeve is thin, and this has to be wrapped properly to avoid chipping the carbide teeth when handled by Oops brown delivery.

I bought the Premier Fusion out of exasperation with my Woodworker II. This has turned out to be a far better blade for my Delta saw. Mine is the top contractor’s model just below the Unisaw. The Forrest blade vibrated and burned from new, but not the Freud. I can rip or crosscut jatoba, koa, maple, whatever and it doesn’t burn. It WILL burn if I stop moving for more than a split second but not nearly as badly as the Woodworker II. There is nearly no vibration which is a real problem with the Forrest. Plus, the Freud is far quieter in operation.
It cuts satin smooth, possibly owing to its being only 4 months old and still “scary sharp”. I can even rip poplar and go straight to gluing with no fuzz. This was a really good purchase for my shop and I recommend it.

At the time of purchase, this blade was back-ordered for about 2 months. All forest blades were on back-order as well. I managed to find it from another vendor and got a good deal on it. I own a ton of Freud router bits and an several saw blades and I’ve always been satisfied with their quality. The blade seems to work great for cross cutting with my INCRA miter sled, especially with plywood. Virtually no tear-out at all. However, I did notice significant burning when riping boards. I assumed it was time to re-align my blade with the rip fence. Upon inspection with only a ruler (referenced from the rip fence), I found that the blade was not flat and had almost 1/32 of run out. Granted, my saw is only a Hitachi contractor saw and it could be a poorly made arbor. However, I also own Freud’s 50 tooth full kerf combo blade and it doesn’t burn 4/4 lumber nearly as bad.
