This is an excellent blade. Excellent quality. So far I've cut a variety of woods - 3/4" Ebony, 1" Purple Heart, 7/8" Black Palm, 3/4" Bocote - and this blade has cut through them all with extreme ease, oil. I've also chopped softer woods like walnut, maple, cedar, monkey pod, mango and it does a great job with them too. I definitely recommend this product based on my experience. Update: I originally installed it on February 25th, it's now June 18th and I felt it was time to replace the dull blade. It went like this for about 4 months. In those 4 months I used it to cut my only bandsaw and made just over 1000 cuts. Most of these cuts were made through 3/4" or 1" hardwood. I still think it's great, especially for the price. My previous blade was SKIL and I could never tell how long it took to dull as it just broke on me (at least 3 times that I can remember). At least this one didn't break and lasted a lifetime as being more useful. I could keep going with this for at least a few more weeks if needed, but for the price it might not make life difficult for me. I still recommend and bought another to replace my backup I just installed.
