Hi

I need some new blades for my Worx compact circular saw.  I saw (haha) these on Amazon:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dandelionsky-Circular-Diamond-Cutting-Rotary/dp/B07ZZ2L1P5/ref=sr_1_18?dchild=1&keywords=blades+for+worx+wx426&qid=1604060140&sr=8-18

 

Dirt cheap - especially compared to Worx branded blades - and on the whole good reviews.  

 

Just wondered what you guys with more experience think about them or any other cost effective blades?  

 

Cheers

Reviews are genuine according to GameSpot. At that price it looks like it's worth a punt

Have a look and see if Saxton do a blade that fits - I’ve used them for a long time and been impressed, just about to order a replacement set for my table saw that has been used and abused for 12 months and still going strong on the same blade. 

I have a Freud blade on my Mitre saw and I rate it.

 

I have a Cheapo Titan table saw - the blade was blunt, I took it to a local blade sharpening specialist - they replaced 2 broken teeth and sharpened it for about a tenner.

I use Saxton blades in my reciprocating saw, easily better than Bosch and a fraction of the price. Deffo try them in my other saws when the time comes.

Thanks for the recommendations, which I will look into...  If I do get the ones from Amazon I'll try to remember to report back as to what I think of them.  Although, to be honest, being quite novice and not having had the tool for long, I'm not sure my opinion will count for much!

I didn't realise there were sites to help check whether reviews are genuine (I am, however, well aware that many are not).  Do you have any details please?

Sorry should have read fakespot

It checks to see if it thinks the reviews are fake, which you get a lot of with crap Chinese imports on Amazon. Just copy the website you are looking at and it gives you a confidence level about the review authenticity.

Another vote for Freud, recently replaced my table saw blade as I was not happy with the finish, the Freud blade is a bit slower than the makita blade it replaced but the finish was really super smooth and just what I was after.
