Review on Olson BM82164BL BI Metal 0.025 Inch 2 Inch: High Quality Performance and Durability by Adam Browning

We used different blades from different manufacturers. Tried two of them. The first blade cut properly and lasted about 150 cuts of 1″ square tubing with 1/8″ wall before breaking at the weld. Not bad, but others lasted longer. I installed the second blade and it immediately hung on the weld, knocking the blade out of the way. I tried several times, turning the blade slowly, but there was a loud knock at the weld. It is noted that the weld was not ground properly. I used a belt sander and sanded the weld on both sides. It worked fine after that, but shouldn't be necessary on a premium blade. Another order for Starrett blades.
