I just changed the standard blade on my 14 inch Porter corded band saw. The difference between day and night. I had no idea. through the stem like a hot knife through butter (sorry, I should have said that). With this blade, the saw is quieter and better balanced. I basically feel like an idiot waiting so long to replace the stock screen, especially given the low price. I will buy more of these when the time comes. Highly recommended! (Of course, I have no other point of comparison other than the stock blade, so there are probably better blades out there, but for the price, Olson has virtually no downsides.)
