I bought a WEN band saw. The supplied blade survived only a few cuts on small pieces of lime. I've replaced it with this one and haven't had to replace it yet and I've made 100 cuts to cut the blanks. I bought two packs of 4 blades thinking they would last about as long as the blade that came with the saw (don't know what brand came with it). I am very happy with them and will continue to buy them should I ever need more. I can make sharp corners and the blades are very sharp!
