This 93 1/2" blade was purchased as part of a complete overhaul including Cool Block guides and new bearings. Inspection of the canvas from the box revealed weld spatter and a fairly rough finish on the weld .the blade wasn't flat either, of course the blade doesn't work properly, is noisy and jumps on the bearing with slight cutting pressure, maybe it was an accident, I'll try another one to check the quality improved I'll post again when I get a replacement.
