This blade didn't suit me at all. I bought it a year ago, but only now it became necessary to open and use it. Straight out of the box it cut (if you can call it that) like a blunt. I cleaned it thoroughly and removed any chemicals it might have had to preserve it, but still got the same result. I have to work hard and move slowly, plus the wood burns and leaves so much resin on it that I have to clean it and the bearings after 1 inch of cut. I even tried lubricating the blade with wax, bio protection, etc. I will never buy this brand again.
