I bought this blade to replace a Bosch blade that I bought in a big store. This blade was twice the price but 10 times better. The Bosch blade had more than an inch of deflection. The Olson blade cuts much straighter. I also love the fact that the Olson blade cuts through 4/4 thick oak like butter. The box's large blade required much more power for the same cut. I would say Olson blades are comparable to Timberwolf blades but at a lower price. Buy Olson and you won't be disappointed. I am an avid carpenter and have been working for over 20 years.
