This blade fits perfectly on my 11 inch Shopsmith band saw. I was going to order a custom canvas to start my project but this is cheaper and works great. Using it along with a Shopsmith reducer and some cutting oil I can now cut ferrous metals for small projects. It looks well made, so I don't expect any problems. I haven't used it often enough to test the long-term blade life, but I'll definitely update this review if the blade life isn't reasonable.
