This is an outstanding blade for the cordless Makita XPS01Z (and corded SP6000J) track saw, but there is a small catch. You will need to replace the existing 20mm inner flange with a 5/8" inner flange (Makita 224411-7) used on many other other Makita LXT circular saws such as the Makita XSH03Z (all compatible models are too numerous to list here). This part is available here at Amazon and from many online power tool parts sellers, and for around $12 including shipping, you can purchase an inner flange as well as a spare outer flange (Makita 224409-4) and M6 socket head screw (Makita 266403-0); refer to the attached photo for more information on these Makita parts. Of course, this blade will work just fine with any 6-1/2" circular saw having a 5/8" arbor, regardless of manufacturer.With the exception of existing and new Makita track saw blades recently introduced, and the DeWalt DW5258, this is the only fine-finish saw blade (48-teeth and higher) available with a 165mm diameter, at a price point that puts all the others to shame. (And yes, the DeWalt and high-end Makita blades are made in China. Note that premium 40-tooth crosscut blades, similar to the Freud Diablo D0641X, Makita T-01410 and others, with a 165mm diameter and 5/8" arbor, are excluded here.) Other competing fine-finish 6-1/2" blades (20mm arbor) on the market are 160mm diameter, including the Festool 495377, Freud LU79R006M20 and Oshlun SBFT-160048. The 165mm size is important for Makita track saws, since this diameter is necessary for the 3mm scoring feature enabled via a dedicated depth stop, to eliminate splintering or chipping on the top surface. (Festool saws utilize an auxiliary splinter guard attachment mounted at the outboard side of the blade to accomplish the same thing.) It is possible to make an acceptable scoring cut with a 160mm diameter blade (in this case a Freud LU79R006M20) by applying slight downward pressure during the cut; using your right hand on top of the blade guard assembly pushing down, while pushing the saw forward with your left hand works best to achieve consistent results.This ATB blade has a measured kerf of 1.95mm (0.077" or about 5/64") with a saw plate thickness of 1.62mm (0.064" or about 1/16"). Out of the easy-to-open packaging, it is very sharp, runs straight and true, and operates smoothly without vibration. Regarding cut quality, perhaps the ultimate test for a fine-finish saw blade is cutting melamine without chipping the top surface, and here the Concord blade passes with flying colors after a quick scoring pass. Even without scoring, the chipping is minimal, being about the same as the Freud LU79R006M20. The Concord does require slightly more pushing effort than the Freud blade when cutting 3/4" Melamine, most likely attributed to it's higher number of teeth (60 vs. 48) and the fact that it is not coated like the Freud; the kerf and saw plate thickness for both blades are nearly identical. Although no test cuts were made on hardwoods or softwoods, this blade should produce comparable splinter-free cuts (although there are better 6-1/2" blades out there specifically made for ripping cuts).While it may not have the nice Teflon coating and refinement of the excellent 6-1/2" Freud LU79R006M20, you can purchase 4 of these for the price of 1 Freud, yet still have money left over. The same can be said for the other premium Makita track saw blades recently introduced; we are talking about 6-1/2" saw blades that cost anywhere from $45 - $60... or even more, provided that you manage to find them online. So, let's put this pricing in perspective... for around $60 or so, you can buy this blade and a top notch 10" Freud Diablo 90-tooth or even 100-tooth blade for your table saw. Sounds like an easy decision.Please see the attached photos for additional information and commentary, saw blade comparisons and cutting quality test results.Just a beautiful blade. Can't be beat for the money for sure!I used the Concord blade in a table saw and after I installed the blade noticed swirls in the wood and investigated why.When watching the blade I could see it wobble when it slow down.I used a precision runout gauge to measure the blades wobble and measured 10 mil. This is well above what one would want which is typically less then 5 mil.The mfr allowed me to return and replaced the blade.Before ever using the 2nd brand new blade I measured its runout of also 10 mil.I then measured the runout of the table saws arbor to eliminate it as a contributor which was <0.5mil. That arbor runout would be multiplied by 5 to get the theoretical runout of a perfectly straight 10" blade near the teeth so that would be about 2.5mil.The conclusion is that the table saw was good and since 2 Concord blades measured 10 mil runout, it is issue with the blades.To be fair the mfr does not specify a runout and these are inexpensive blades at $17 at the time of this review.So if you do purchase this blade its for rougher cutting where precision is not needed.Holds up well for everyday useI was pleasantly surprised by this blade. I have to admit, my expectations were not high as I mostly purchase name brand blades and there weren't any reviews, so I decided to take a chance. At it's current cost of around $13, it is an excellent value. I have a Dewalt 10" miter saw and had a 60T blade for cuts that was nearly the end of it's life. To be honest, I was never satisfied with the Dewalt blade performance. I wanted a blade with more teeth for more precise cuts as I'm doing woodworking that requires little or no tear out. Here is what I like about it...+ Excellent clean, precise cuts out of the box+ Virtually no tear out+ Little or no sanding on your cuts!+ Very sharp out of the package+ Arrived in a protected plastic tube sleeve around the blade+ Amazing valueI would highly recommend this blade if you are on a budget and want a good quality blade. The price to performance value is outstanding. I'm not sure of blade longevity but will update this review if I encounter any pitfalls. I picked up a few more as backups.I'm building a countertop for my workshop with left over Brazilian Cherry 3/4" hardwood flooring. I was afraid my 15 year old Ryobi miter saw and blade would chip and splinter the flooring. An 80 tooth compound 10 inch blade from Home Depot was $65. Not paying that price. I could buy three of these blades and a coffee for the same price. This blade is razor sharp and cuts cleaner than the factory edge. No B.S. the cut edge is clean no chipping and feels like it's been sanded to 220 already. It cuts like butter, Brazilian Cherry is known to be extremely hard and tough on blades. I gave it 4 stars because I'm only 10 cuts in. I will revisit after the job is done.Just finished installing 250 square feet of Mohawk 7mm laminate flooring in our kitchen. I used this blade on my Craftsman 8 1/4" radial arm saw for all cross cuts (approximately 100) and ripping (approximately 40 feet). Very pleased with this blade for cross cutting as it produced chip free cuts on the finished side of the boards. It did create substantial chips on the underside but this is the side that will never be seen. It was less effective for ripping as it was slow, created minor chipping, and left burn marks on the sides of the boards. The minor chips are hidden by any molding used to cover the required gap and the burn marks are not visible when the flooring is installed. At any rate, I plan to use a more appropriate blade for ripping on my next floor install. For cross cuts, I highly recommend this blade. It's a very cost effective alternative to the $60-$80 blades designed for laminate flooring and was cutting just as well at the end of the job as it was at the beginning.I trimmed off a laminate countertop. Perfect cut no chippingHappy with this blade
