waste of money. Go to Saw Blades, Parts & Accessories

To be clear my expectations were not very high given the cost. After that has been said. Everything seems fine from the packaging, the sharp one seemed to have a decent bevel. After adjusting/leveling, my depth of cut was 0 so I could crawl up and get an accurate 1/32 inch per pass. Did 5 or 6 passes on the 2x4 to dial in the bed. Then it went on to a piece of 5/4" x 3" maple. Face docked (maybe 4 passes) the results were great. At this point I was very excited about my new knife pick chips. >:(Again my expectations were low but I couldn't process a board before getting some damage!? Hopefully my experience was random and others don't have the same problem. For me it was a waste of time and money.and will look for another brand search to replace them.
