Like any other bandsaw, your bandsaw needs to be properly adjusted first to achieve maximum blade life. At first I didn't dare to test this one Canvases to order.As I've never heard of this company but once installed and set up the blade guides properly and cuts fairly well.As good or better than other blades I've bought from revain like powertek.etc after doing some research, this company makes blades for Rikon AYAO, an Australian company that makes blades in China.
