I had the Felder diamond blade and it was great until I made a VERY expensive stupid mistake by hitting a piece of metal. Talk about a depressing moment, the blade was ruined. For the short period of time I owned it I really liked it, it is notably quieter than any blade I¡¯ve used in past 30 yrs. I mostly used it on sheet goods including melamine and it did a great job without using scoring blade. I was also impressed with cuts if solid wood. At the end of the day I would not purchase it again as it is crazy expensive and one mistake and you have some very expensive wall art. You also need a thin riving knife to use with the diamond blade, I happen to have one for sale ?
