Can this blade be used effectively in a low-rpm cold saw like the Makita LC1230 for cutting aluminum 80/20 extrusions?

I have not tried that blade at low rpm.we use it in a 4000rpm dewalt miter saw, and it works very good on .050 wall thickness alum.extrusions

I use this blade on a Dewalt DW716 miter saw (3800 rpm) to cut 80/20 aluminum. I've cut mostly 15 series profiles with it and it does an awesome job and gives smooth cuts. I've also cut aluminum angle (1/4x3x3) with it and 1" aluminum bar stock.

Not sure at what rpm your saw operates. I used the blade with my Dewalt DW705 mitre saw which operates at about 4k rpm. The blade made very smooth cuts in a number of different AL extrusions. I buy it again.

My saw spends at 8,000 rpm and I use this blade for cutting 3" x 1.5" aluminium stock. Took 3-4 tries to get the feed rate right now the cuts are pretty good.

If your Makita has an one inch arbor it should I have an older Craftsmen Miter saw that doesn't run at a super high RPM but it cuts aluminum and plastic great it's one of my favorite saw blade worth every Pennie

Most definitely!! It can be used for any "fine" cutting. Just remember that it is a "pull saw", not a "push saw". (Japanese style)

That would depend on how thick the curbing is. This blade is designed to fit onto a 4.5" die grinder tool, and not a standard power saw. You should not substitute this blade into the wrong type of saw as it will not spin at the speed in which it was designed to do.

Yes, I have cut aluminum with this blade with no problem. On thicker pieces you should lubricate the blade and go slow to prevent gaulding. I think they make a different blade specifically for aluminum though so if you intend to cut a lot of it you might opt for that one.

Haven't tried but it will take very shallow cuts &lt; 1/64 in. The stock blades are very sharp don't know how they would hold up to oak end grain

Not unless your Dremel is a lot different than mine! The shank diameter of these saws is about 4 times the diameter of my Dremel tool bits. Even if it did fit, I think the Dremel tool rotational speed is far too high for these tools. My multi-speed Dremel has a minimum speed of 5000 rpm. In my use of diamond-tipped tools, I found much LOWER speeds (1000 rpm, I'm guessing, maybe even less) to be desirable.

I do not know. I used it to cut old red brick, and it cut it beautifully. I did, however modify my saw so that it was water cooled/lubricated. Cut many bricks and blade looks/feels as new.

No, you will have to use an air compressor to remove dust from the blade which will work just fine.

It says on the package for chop, miter saws or table saws. I use mine on my radial arm saw which does primarily crosscutting . I have not tried ripping with it as I have a 50 tooth combination for that on my table saw. I would presume that the 80t blade could be used for ripping ,but it would be slow and would probably leave some burn marks which are hard to remove. There are a lot better options to ripping and why use an excellent crosscut blade for that? The 80t gives a exceptionally smooth crosscut.Hope this helps. Herb

Yes, I use mine all the time for exhaust tubing, Just have to use it in a dry cut saw that runs a lot slower then conventional chop saw.

I use mine with the bl1830 and it last quite a while limbing juniper trees. My only problem with this saw is has leaked oil from the case since the first time I,ve used it.

Yes. It would work well in that saw. Generally, though, in a compound miter saw, more teeth is better since you will always be crosscutting. This blade will work well but 80 teeth will work better.

It'll be slow. Additionally there will be more wear and tear on your saw. But it will work. If you are planning on ripping a full 20" though, I'd consider a bigger saw.

I used this blade for cutting Lock Dry aluminum decking and it worked well. I did not even consider using it for miter saw wood cuts because of the high blade count which I thought would clog. I went back to my carbide tipped wood cutting blade and use it for all my wood working.

The user manual warns against using blades other than 10" diameter. DeWalt doesn't sell 10" metal cutting blades. Also, any blade used with this saw must be designed for at least 5,000 rpm, which is quite a bit higher than the maximum speed of metal cutting blades sold by DeWalt. Center hole of blade must be 5/8" to fit on arbor of this saw.http://www.dewalt.com/tool-part-categories/Metal-Cutting-Saw-Blades.aspx

I have this Makita saw and use a Festool track, my understanding is that the Dewalt track is not compatible though

actually I have used both, I went back to Makita because they seem to stay sharp much longer so I use less blades. The Irwin tools aluminum cutting blade is durable for that type (aluminum) metal.
