I'm not a pro so take this with caution. It worked great. A few months and it works all still great i have no complaints i bought them for the price and never paid "big money" for a blade so i have nothing but the original blade that came with the kit i have poplar, pine and walnut without Problems sawing, but I try to keep the cutting thickness under 6". Again, I don't really have anything to compare it to, but for the price I'm thrilled.
