Tools MARATHON Carbide Corded Circular Saw Blade, 7 1/4-inch, 24T (24030)

Good quality blades. I have always trusted IRWIN products. Good value for your dollar. They are nice and sharp. Makes clean cuts.

I recently got my hands on a carbide corded circular saw blade, and let me tell you, this thing is a beast. It’s like the Jason Voorhees of saw blades—silent, deadly, and always ready to slice through anything in its path. From the moment I installed it, I knew I was dealing with something special. The first time I powered it up, it hummed with a menacing glee, as if whispering, “Let’s see what we can cut today.” And cut it did. Wood, metal, plastic—nothing stood a chance. It sliced through everything like a hot knife through butter, leaving a trail of perfectly clean cuts in its wake. But here’s where things get a bit sinister. One evening, I left the saw in my workshop, only to return the next morning to find it had mysteriously moved. I swear, it was an inch closer to the door. My wife thinks I’m imagining things, but I know better. This blade has a mind of its own. And then there was the incident with the garden gnome. One day, I found our beloved gnome, Sir Chopsalot, decapitated in the yard. Coincidence? I think not. The saw blade was sitting innocently on the workbench, but I could almost hear it chuckling. Despite its eerie tendencies, I can’t deny the saw blade’s efficiency. It’s the ultimate tool for any DIY enthusiast with a dark sense of humor. Just be sure to keep an eye on it. You never know when it might decide to go on a little adventure of its own. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a saw blade that cuts through anything and adds a touch of mystery to your workshop, this carbide corded circular saw blade is the one for you. Just remember to lock your workshop at night. You know, just in case

Much better than the blade that Black and Decker supplied with their entry level saw. I couldn't cut a two by four without the saw kicking back, nor a straight line on plywood with the supplied blade. Black and Decker should aware that the blade they supply makes a fairly decent saw both dangerous and seemingly ready for the garbage can during first use. But that's a different review. This seems to be a good blade, especially for the price, it also made use of my saw "safe" . I immediately noticed easy cutting with little resistance..

Tough, Fast-Cutting Circular Saw Blade The IRWIN Marathon 7 1/4-inch, 24-tooth carbide blade is a solid performer for framing and general construction cuts. I like that the carbide teeth stay sharp through multiple projects—ripping lumber, cutting plywood, and even handling some treated wood without dulling quickly. It cuts fast and clean, especially for rough framing where speed matters more than ultra-smooth edges. The thin-kerf design makes for efficient cuts with less motor strain, which is noticeable when using a corded circular saw for extended periods. It tracks straight with minimal wobble, and the anti-vibration vents help keep it cooler and quieter. This is not a fine-finish blade, so you’ll see some tear-out on delicate cuts, but that’s expected from a 24T framing blade. For trim or cabinet work, a higher-tooth count blade is better. But as a workhorse blade for everyday construction tasks, this one holds up very well. Bottom line: A dependable, long-lasting framing blade that delivers fast, clean cuts—excellent value for general carpentry and jobsite use.

I bought two of these blades for about ten bucks. I don't know how long they will last but so far I'm quite pleased. They cut great without to much splintering or feathers. They leave a thin kerf because they are thin blades which helps save wood and makes my circular saw feel more powerful because it's removing less wood than a standard width blade does. I've used them on two by framing lumber and to break down sheets of Baltic Birch plywood and the first one is still as sharp as new. I don't have reason to use my circular saw a lot anymore so these two blades should last me for a very long time. For the price they may even be decent for on the job use, but again, I haven't used them enough to wear one out yet. They seem just fine.

Carbide tipped blade easy to install. World of difference with a new blade. Don’t wait. Good for infrequent use.

Good blade, good enough for a pro

I was using this to cut through green treated 6x6’s. I know… you can’t cut through that thick of material with a 7 1/4 blade directly, but you can with multiple cuts. I was able to get sufficient precision with this blade and my 30 year old circular saw. Quite an upgrade from the previous blade which was burning through the wood. You can’t beat the bang for the buck you get with this blade.

Excellent blade. Great job in both heavy crosscut and rip.

Lovely blade. But arbor hole mismatch

Classique, économique et performante.

Awesome

Bien
