Easily installed this saw blade on a recently purchased Harbor Freight metal band saw. I cut light wall mild steel pipe (1/2" to 1" x 1/16") at low speed with very little down force. After installing the blade, I made sure it was aligned vertically and horizontally so it would cut straight since installing the blade I've made probably 50 cuts with no problems The only change I could make would be to use a 14/18 tooth blade as I only normally cut light gauge steel I would recommend this blade! Incidentally, the stand is 1sq. x 1/16" mild steel tubing with wheels that are cut with this saw before installing a new saw blade.
