I make handles so I cut a lot of sticks to length. It cuts like butter. Where it really shines is in its 1 x 1 x 5 inch curve. I made a jig to hold the work piece at a 45 degree angle lengthwise to cut the corners on each 5 inch side. It saves a lot of cutting once it hits my lathe. The 6 tpi blade cuts efficiently and quickly, saving a lot of time. In the future I will only use these blades on both saws.
