Getting ready to cut some stair treads and risers, looking for a good blade that will help keep cuts clean. Should I go with Diablo at HD or is there something better I should consider?

I haven't used them in a chop saw, but the Diablo high tooth count circular saw blades make very nice clean cuts. They also tend to have a relatively thin kerf, which means they don't have to work as hard to make a cut.

In addition to the fairly standard 10", 80-tooth blade, Diablo also makes a 10" 90-tooth blade they claim makes even cleaner cuts:

Very happy with the Diablo blades on ALL my saws, chop, table and circular.

The Diablo made a big difference on my circular saw, when my miter blade needs replaced I’ll put a Diablo on it too.

Diablo is a Freud brand and is a very good blade. You didn't mention wood type or if you are doing stain vs paint grade finish work. But a good clean, sharp Diablo 80 or 90 tooth blade will serve you just fine.

I run Diablo blades on all my saws for finish cuts.

I'm making treads and risers out of oak. My intention will be to stain them.

one consideration when buying inexpensive saw blades. Use till they dull, and throw away. more expensive blades can be re-sharpened, teeth replaced for less than a new blade.

check a Woodworkers supply in your area or online

Diablo for sure. I use it for cutting melamine, which needs a fine toothed blade.

As my grandfather tried to teach me, buy the best tools you can afford, you will be thankful everytime you use them. Or buy cheap tools, and you will pay for it everytime you use them.
