Actually Diablo is NOT Freud's cheaper brand; Avanti is - I've had nothing but good results from ANY Diablo product, HD was out of the Diablo version of a 7" metal cutting blade a few years back, so bought the Avanti - 3 or 4 cuts and the blade was TOAST. "Fool me once"... Steve
I have the Evo 380 saw as well, still on the original blade - their claim of how many cuts on square tube is based on using the (included) V block and fairly firm pressure; I had to do a couple mods to my saw's vise so that 90* cuts actually WERE 90's (in BOTH axis) when using the V block.
If cutting other angles, you can't use the V block tho - best you can do in that case is keep the vise tight and cutting pressure "firm"...
