Short lifespan, poor performance.

Very bad quality. I had to cut a 4 inch cast iron sewer pipe. Blunt after 3 cuts. Switched to a Morse brand blade finished with 14 more cuts.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Works perfectly. - Power tool parts and accessories

I have a cheap RF lanyard and the blades were junk. I bought it and now it's a great saw. I just needed good blades. Many Thanks. They easily cut 1/8" thick steel.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Functionality

I don't know why but these blades break easily

Had to learn how to weld these blades because we break so often. A weld never breaks, so there must be a weakness or defect in the material.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Dulls easily in band saws

Just a few cuts, now on my third blade. Got bored too quickly. I sawed with a horizontal saw. This is only for those too clumsy to put on a horizontal band saw. waste of money!

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Pretty good for the price

Used with a portable RF band saw on a home build stand to cut 1/2" panel for truck projects. Cutting is slow, but I have more time than money. Cut through about 2 foot cuts.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Pretty good for the price

Used with a portable RF band saw on a home build stand to cut 1/2" board for a rail project. Cutting is slow, but I have more time than money.

Ideal for portable HF band saws.

They cut through metal and are the right size for a Harbor Freight portable band saw. Make beautiful, clean cuts with minimal effort. Also, hold the saw firmly. Can't ask for more.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • No machine

Good product, so far

- Price The cost of these three sheets (per sheet) is less than two sets of HF. Having two backups is more useful than one. Use Case I am using a Bauer (64194) variable speed band saw along with an aftermarket knife making table. Cutting Materials: 80crv2, 1095 and 8670 steel (annealed), brass tubing (solid and hollow), stainless steel shank, carbon fiber tube/rod, micarta tube/rod, flat brass shank. . It performed well on brass tube/rod/flat bar and 80crv2. The stainless steel rod slowed the…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old
