Like other reviewers, I bought this blade because of the brand and it was cheaper than the Olsen blades I've used. The saw blade installation went well, I started the saw and noticed that the saw was much quieter and smoother than the Olson, however straight out of the box the new blade was duller than the Olsen blade I was replacing. I've tried different pieces of wood and got the same results. Finding the blade unsafe, I threw it in the trash and put my old Olson back on. I'm surprised a Bosch blade can be so dull instantly. Maybe I'm stupid.
