In one of the last mail order catalogs from Harbor Freight, I noticed some steel cutting circular saw blades. 92800 is the item number for a
10 inch 80 tooth 5/8 arbor blade that sells for $20. The teeth are C6 carbide micrograin. They also have bigger and smaller blades.Sounds like it might be a good deal, but it is always nice to hear from someone who has tried Harbor Freight tools. So has anyone actually tried one?

Not that part number, but I run their 48 tooth 12" blade in my Makita dry saw all the time.

The number for the Harbor Freight 12 inch steel cutting saw blade is
92802. It is a 100 tooth blade with little or no back rake on the teeth. With twice the number of teeth it costs slightly more, $30.My experience with Harbor Freight saw blades for cutting wood has been good. But except for the saw I use to cut up scrap wood and branches, I don't do much wood cutting. I have inadvertanly cut with that saw thru a few nails with no noticeable affect.

I tried higher - tooth - count blades and found that a given cut would take much longer to complete than with the 48 tooth blade. The lower tooth count creates a somewhat rougher finish to the cut end but it progresses through steel at a very admirable rate.
Either way, it's still heartwarming to see the blade cut straight, no matter if its a miter or just lopping something off at 90 degrees.
The only bad part is that I couldn't afford the saw earlier.
