This blade actually works when the saw is properly adjusted. 400-500 RPM and adjust all stops properly to keep the blade flat and tight. It cut well in 1/4-inch mild steel as long as I maintained light feed pressure and didn't try to rush the cut. When the blade wears out I'll let you know how long it lasted. Update 10/29/14: Blade is dead. However, we can attribute this to operator error rather than the blade. I've cut quite a bit of mild steel up to 5/16" thick and had no problems. While cutting some parts for a welding project, I accidentally grabbed a piece of 304 stainless steel and tried to cut it. When he didn't want to cut right away, I forced him and immediately removed those teeth. This blade is still the best of the three leading brand blades I've used in the last few months. So whenever I come up with another project that requires me to cut metal, I'll buy another Starrett blade.
