Lathes use band saws to cut near-round workpieces to reduce unbalance on the lathe. This blade is excellent for this purpose and is very sharp. Very satisfied.
These 1/4 inch blades are great for tight turns when cutting complex shapes. I've built rocking horses out of 1 1/2" material and 6 tpi did a great job.
I am a carpentry teacher and have bought Bosch blades in the past with great pleasure. I buy 10 of these blades for my class from the store in various sizes. I put on the first one and was shocked at how blunt the cut was. Thought it was probably an anomaly, installed the 2nd and same problem. Incredibly disappointed and now my program is out of blade cost! Bosch has a better reputation!
This saw blade had a misaligned tooth. Scratched my good piece of mesquite pretty badly. Spent 30 minutes sawing the tooth marks off the piece. Buy the best blades and save money. This blade is currently part of a wall display. It's great if you love jewelry.
I had a lot of Bosch tools so I bought this one even though it was cheap. Well you get what you pay for. The teeth alternately point to the side, so this is the roughest cut I've ever seen. Maybe there is a special purpose for this. It also doesn't track well. I threw it away and bought a big brand for three times the price and it's a completely different sawing experience.
