I don't normally bother with reviews but my experience with this band saw blade has been extremely dangerous. Please do not purchase this blade as my item was severely lacking in quality assurance. I installed it on a band saw following the band saw instructions. I have all the roles and tension set as expected. The blade made a clicking/scratching sound. Upon inspection, I found that the connecting link on the joint doesn't look good and even has noticeable wobble at speed. I wanted to give it a try anyway and proceeded to cut a piece of black cherry that I had been working on for 2 weeks to get it right on my lathe. The original cut was so uneven and damaged that I realized my piece could be ruined. After the 2nd cut the blade grabbed the wood at the blade joint and stopped the blade immediately causing the blade to bend much further. The impact split the chunk from the impact rendering it and all the work I put into it useless. It took hours to get this bent blade out of my bandsaw. Thank goodness the blade didn't break from a bad connection. I was very lucky that I wasn't injured. Please do not buy this blade. It's not worth the risk of having that kind of sloppiness spinning inches from your face or limbs at high speed.
