TenryuSilencer Series Steel Arbor Blade 10.23 inches 72 Tooth

I bought this blade for my Kapex just to have something to use while I sent the Festool 60T blade out for sharpening. I was very impressed with the smooth cutting action and surprisingly good surface finish, especially considering that this blade costs less than half what the Festool blade costs. At this point I plan to leave it on the saw and see how well the blade holds up under extended use.

Disclaimer: I am not a Festool-only true believer and was happy to try a blade from another source while my original is out being serviced. The Kapex is an over-priced saw and this blade helps raise its game a bit in my opinion. It is quiet, as promised (I was a little skeptical of that claim for some reason. And cuts extremely well.I am happy with the price and the purchase and will have to see how this lasts, it is not a carbide blade, I am happy with that as I think on my miter that is more than I need - I cut PVC, aluminum, hardwood, and I think it was too much for the original equipment and I knocked a tooth off-kilter. It started to cut rough.Your mileage and expectations may vary from mine and that is what makes life so interesting!

I ordered this blade to replace the blade that came with my Festool Kapex miter saw and it seems to be better than the stock Festool blade for precise cuts when doing finish carpentry. It was very sharp when it arrived and I've been using it daily for about a month now and it's still very sharp. Good price too.

I just tried out this blade in my Kapex. It cuts better and is much quieter than the Kapex standard blade. I only now realized that it is not carbide tipped like the Festool original blade. So I'm worried how well it will hold up over time. I hope to remember to update this review after several months of use.

I bought this one to use when my Festool blade is out for sharpening. I use my Kapex everyday and I like this blade so much that I just leave it on the saw all the time now. It performs as well as the Festool blade, cuts like a hot knife through butter, leaving a nice smooth cut. Great value for the money.

Not a lot to say, the blade works fine on the kapex. I'll have to see how it does over time but there's no indication of any problems.

Pros: Good blade for half the price of a festool one, Blade lasted sharp for two months of daily use since I’m a trim carpenter, and using it quite a bit every day, I’m ordering a second blade.Cons: blade seemed to deflect when cutting hardwoods even brand new, so whenever I’m cutting stair treads or other hardwoods I recommend switching to a festool blade.

Cuts very cleanly. Will have to see how it retains its sharpness with time.
