I ordered the 125" version of this bandsaw blade and it is exactly 125" long. Assuming my bandsaw is running, it cuts every piece of wood I push through. It doesn't do much if the machine isn't on. I have a small tool I made for my Dremel and I can sharpen it at least twice so it lasts a very long time. If your saw is properly adjusted and strong enough, you can cut a little with this saw blade. He won't do veneers very well, but he will cut smooth with the right technique. I find this blade to be the best general purpose blade I have ever used. I almost always leave it on the car and don't even bother to loosen the tension. (Yes, call the cops for a band saw.) It's a very good blade for the price, cutting through wood, plexiglass, bone, flesh, and sinew.
