Making a clean, straight cut in wood with a band saw. I have cut aluminum and steel and the blade is self cleaning and very little material remains in the tooth. At 1/2" wide, the cutting radius has increased compared to my old 3/8" blade. I tested the blade with a very high side load on a 1/4" bladed gun to see if it would eliminate misaligned teeth and work great. I will be purchasing another one to use for my next case study/abuse project to have hands!
