It says right on it A7&1/4 inch. I just could not see it because all of the writing was too small I used my cell phone to magnify and it was all the information was right there. I'm sorry to bother everybody but I do appreciate all of your help.

That's a tile saw blade alright.  Looks a bit worn on one side more than the other, but still ok probably.

 

At 7 1/4", you need to watch what blade you put on it.  You don't want a blade with an aggressive hook angle like the average framing saw blade has (+10-20 degrees).  I want to say a good crosscut blade will have a 5 degree or less hook, but I've had sliders for so long now I don't really remember.  Stay under 10 degrees and you should get an ok cut.  Negative hooks are sold as "fine finish" or whatever, but I never noticed much difference as long as it was a small number, + or -.

 

My main slider is an old 8 1/2" Hitachi, and the only 8 1/2" blades I've ever seen are generally made for that saw, so I got out of the habit of paying attention to specs.

 

Friend of mine had a smallish radial arm saw once, and he put a framing blade on it.  That was an interesting experience - had to hold the saw back making a crosscut.  I stalled it once too when it ran up onto the board and got wedged.  That thing was a finger wrecker if I ever saw one!
