Amazon.com Product Review
You can buy the finest miter saw on the planet, but if you put a bargain blade on its arbor, you might as well use a cheap handsaw. Here are a couple of first-rate carbide-tooth blades from DeWalt that deliver the kind of cut a decent saw deserves and can inspire a mediocre saw to be a cut above usual.
Each 12-inch blade has a thin kerf that cuts fast and leaves a clean line with as little waste as possible. The 32-tooth blade is perfect for framing and other rough-cut applications, while the 80-tooth blade gives you a super smooth cut every time on everything from particle board to hardwoods.
If you've priced blades of this caliber, you know that you can easily pay this much for one comparable blade, so this two-blade package is a great deal.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Manufacturer Description
Two 12-inch blades for the price of one. This package includes the Series 20 DW3128 12-inch 80T carbide blade and the DW3123 32T carbide blade.

Ideal for cutting applications in softwood, hardwood, chipboard, and plywood using miter saws and slide miter saws.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
There is no doubt that you get a lot of blade for the money with this combo pack and I'm happy to have the blades for some applications. However, I've been disapointed with the performance of the 80 tooth blade. I've had trouble with a few things, the first is that when cutting a bevel (saw tilted), I see quite a bit of deflection in the blade on anything but the smallest of stock. Cutting 3/4 pine caused this blade to deflect, thus bind, thus burn, and leaves me with an uneven cut. I'm confident that it's not my saw (Delta TwinLaser - 15 amp motor) because other blades work well. The other thing I don't love is that it takes forever to wear the yellow paint off the blades with cuts - and so every cut has a hint of yellow for quite a long time. Not a big deal, but kind of unecessary. To round it out, I'm just not that happy with the cut even when it's straight down. I get chipping or tear-out on almost any kind of lumber that I've tried... red oak, pine, poplar, etc. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I make the cut. While that's a pain, I will say that the center of the cut is very smooth. The rough cut blade does do a fine job for cutting framing lumber straight up and down - very fast. I have not needed to use that for a bevel cut, but I would guess it has the same problem. So, if you do rough cut work and don't have a need to make bevel cuts, these are probably a great deal. If your needs are more, then I would say spend your money on some better blades.
