Dewalt DWA31724D Demolition Saw Blade

We have been talking quite a bit about the new Dewalt FlexVolt tools, and will soon turn your attention to some of the new FlexVolt power tool accessories that are coming out – mainly saw blades, angle grinder cutting wheels and flap discs, and hole saws.

When looking to see which Dewalt FlexVolt accessories were on the way to market, I came across a new 7-1/4″ demolition circular saw blade that’s part of the 2X Long Life lineup.

The new Dewalt DWA31724D saw blade is designed for framing applications, and also for use in demolition applications where you might encounter nails in the wood you’re cutting.

As you might have experienced, hitting a nail with a saw blade that’s strictly designed for cutting wood can have nasty consequences, the least being broken saw teeth.

Features:

  • 7-1/4″ with 24T and 5/8″ (16 mm) arbor
  • 24T for fast cutting
  • Premium carbide teeth for longer life and extended use
  • Face ground tooth profile for lower cutting force
  • Reinforced shoulder design
  • Body slot technology for smoother cuts
  • Diamond arbor knock-out
  • Laser-cut plate

The DEWALT DWA31724D 7-1/4″ Demolition Saw Blade features a reinforced shoulder design for impact resistance. The premium carbide teeth are designed for longer life and extended use. This blade also offers a laser-cut plate with patented body slots. Designed for use in demolition and framing.

Price: $18

This isn’t the only demo or nail-cutting framing blade by Dewalt – the DW3191 blade is a nail-cutting construction blade ($12 via Amazon), and there are of course demo blades from other brands as well, such as Diablo ($16-17 via Amazon). But if this new Dewalt blade makes good on its 2X Long Life claim, it could be more economical over time.

If you saw this on the shelf at your local supplier, would you buy it over your favored framing blade? Do you have a favorite brand of demo circular saw blade?

    So this is will be a 4th option by fall? Dewalt’s accessories, particularly saw blades, are all over the place.

    The old construction line, the precision framing/trim line, now a 2x line…with an FV branded line coming this fall?

    I’ve been happy with Dewalt’s precision line of blades, but availability in my area is limited…and I have a 40 tooth 7 1/4″ and 60 tooth 7 1/4″ for my 20v miter saw…the 60 tooth is completely different looking with solid yellow paint and different reliefs stamped in, yet is labeled as ‘precision trim’ just like the yellow and black 40 tooth. I’ve also read a lot about the precision blades being US made, but now it seems that only relates to certain sizes…?

    I generally just stick with Diablo blades as I can easily get them if a tooth breaks or something. If I order from Amazon, i go with the precision line. Happy with the performance of both, but Dewalt has so many different options it’s hard to keep up.

      Just saw on their site that there is a ‘woodworking’ made in USA line, too. Are those also new? I’ve never come across them before.

        I don’t think they’re NEW, just not as visible to customers. Some of Dewalt’s blades have been unknown to me.

        I discovered some new-to-me blades about 2 weeks ago and requested some for a project. If review samples don’t come in, I’ll splurge on a series of styles for comparison.

        Craftsman came out with new high-value affordable-cost woodworking blades a few years ago, but has also done little to actively promote them.

    We bought Freud Diablo Demo Demon blades in 10 packs typically for $120

    Amazon has them for slightly more:

    https://www.amazon.com/D0724DA-Diablo-24-Tooth-Circular-Blades/dp/B004NOTYNI

    They work OK on the odd regular nail (not cut or hardened flooring nails) – and we considered this sort of blade a consumable – to be factored into the price of a job.

    Been using Irwin Marathon 7-1/4″ 24-tooth framing and ripping blades for what seems like forever in my Makita 5007F corded circ saw. Never a problem with the blades or the saw. Use only Makita brand 16 tooth 94904 blades in my Makita XSS03Z cordless saw mainly because 5-3/8″ x 5/8″ arbor saw blades from other manufactures are not all that prevalent.

    I will almost always choose a diablo blade over anything if the correct blade is avalible. And i dont shop for work stuff at lowes. Which i think is the only premium blades they sell? I know theres lots of dewalt blades there.
