So far this blade has been an excellent blade. First I cut to break it, I cut a solid piece of wood 4 x 4 inches. I made 325 cuts 1/2"x1/2" 16ga. Square tubing, 10 cuts 3"x3" 16 gauge. Square tubing and about 50 pieces of 1/2" x 1/8" flat iron. I cut 30 1/2" square tubing at a time and spray some WD40 from time to time to support the blade. I set the saw to light pressure and forgot. The blade just does its job as expected. I am very happy with it of quality, price and durability. All cuts mentioned were done within 3 days. I highly recommend this blade. I have been ordering stock since my first experience. HAPPY CUTTING!
