Blade seemed sharp enough but didn't last long. I have several third-party 3/4 blades that I used until they became dull. This blade broke at the weld after only a few minutes of use. The saw I run it on is the same and the tension is within the manufacturers specs. In addition, it was cut with a high fence, so there were no problems with tying. It's just not the best design. Therefore I will not buy this product again. Sincerely, Jim
