The DEWALT DWA181424 framing and ripping blade is engineered for straight, accurate cuts in lumber and sheet goods. Its 8-1/4-inch diameter and 24-tooth configuration strike a balance between cut speed and finish quality, making it a solid choice for cordless and corded circular saws on the job site. The patent-pending ToughTrack tooth design keeps tracking true over the life of the blade, so you're not constantly fighting drift or burn marks.
Patented ToughTrack Tooth Design for Consistent Cuts
ToughTrack teeth are shaped to maintain a stable cutting path as the blade wears, which means less binding and smoother cuts than conventional blades. The high-density tungsten carbide teeth stand up to abrasive materials like pressure-treated lumber, and the reinforced shoulder adds impact resistance when you hit nails or buried fasteners.
Thin Kerf, Anti-Stick Coating, and Vibration Control
This blade's thin kerf removes less material, so your saw works more efficiently and you get a cleaner cut with less dust. Patented body slots reduce vibration for better feel, while the Tough Coat anti-stick coating minimizes friction and gumming when cutting pine or treated wood. All of this adds up to a blade that keeps cutting cleanly job after job.

Product Details
Choosing the Right Blade for Framing and Ripping
The DWA181424 is built for the cuts that matter most in rough construction: ripping 2x lumber, crosscutting studs, and cutting panels down to size. Its 24 teeth leave a slightly rougher edge than a finish blade, but the trade-off is speed and less binding. If you're cutting consistently and need a blade that holds its line, this is the one.
Blade Care for Longer Life
After a big job, clean pitch buildup with a blade cleaner and a stiff brush. Keep the blade in its protective sleeve when not in use, and don't run it through material the blade isn't rated for. A clean, dry blade cuts faster and stays sharp longer.

It has a Tough Coat anti-stick coating that also helps resist corrosion.
Will it handle nail-embedded wood?
The reinforced shoulder is designed for impact resistance if you hit a nail, but always be cautious with embedded fasteners.

Good ripping blade
This blade cuts clean and straight. I used it for ripping 2x4s and it didn't bog down. Definitely a good upgrade from the stock blade.

Holds up well
I'm a contractor and run through blades quickly. This one has held up impressively. The teeth stay sharp and the cut quality is great even on pressure-treated lumber. It also seems to produce less kickback than others. I've used it on my cordless saw and it fits perfectly. Worth every penny.

Rough on plywood
Cuts well but tends to leave a rough edge on plywood. For framing, it's fine.

Excellent for framing
I've used this blade for a few months now, and it's still cutting like new. The 24-tooth design is aggressive but also gives decent control. It's not the smoothest for finish cuts, but for framing and ripping it's excellent. The price is hard to beat. I'll definitely buy another when this one wears out.
