MikeGLILooking for a good 80 tooth 10" chop saw blade
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?

maladatI 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:

PHPaulVery happy with the Diablo blades on ALL my saws, chop, table and circular.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

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

straightshooter01Diablo 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.

xantomI 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.

eltonrone 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

TAllen01Diablo for sure. I use it for cutting melamine, which needs a fine toothed blade.
