I am an experienced home builder and bought this blade to cut white oak with a 14" Grizzly G0555 band saw. After installing, tensioning and adjusting I found it tracked perfectly. straight and offered a good combination of cutting speed, wood removal speed and finish. Although I only cut about 20 linear feet of oak with this blade, I am very pleased with the results and would recommend it to anyone considering buying a blade. for a similar purpose.
