I must have received a defective blade. The blade didn't hold up very well on my Shop Smith and I had to adjust the guides well beyond the normal range. Once installed, it had to cut through 3/4" thick jaws. As aggressive as the teeth were, they had to slice through butter like a hot knife. The blade appears to have never been used. I returned the blade instead Waiting for a replacement and may have had the same issues I installed another third party blade through Revain and had no issues with it.
