Not suitable for saw blades, parts and accessories

Not suitable for saws. I've used several blades from a regular carrier and they've always worked. I figured I'd save time and order one because I figured I could get a better quality blade. Apparently their QC department was down the day this was made as it was cancelled. I couldn't put it on wheels no matter how hard I tried. I compared it to the old blade and it fully penetrated the one that had detached from it. Useless. return for refund.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Doesn't last long in power tool parts and accessories

I've been using these for a year. I make hundreds of cuts on a single blade before it wears out. In my experience they break before they stop cutting or cut sloppily. But the last 8 blades (use 1 about every 1.5 weeks) warped and wouldn't budge after a few dozen cuts. I don't know if the coronavirus has somehow altered the materials they use to make the blades. Still excited about them. I don't recommend buying them until the manufacturer figures out what has changed.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • So far so good

Still good value for money but used to be better.

agree with several other reviews that the last few blades I've ordered have performed much worse than the same blades a few years ago. I feed about once a month and try to give each leaf a little break by reducing the feed to about half of normal for at least a few days and then feeding regularly for the rest of the month. I have found that this tends to round off the tips of each tooth and they break less and the cuts are much smoother and they are unsurprising in their thin thickness. BUT the

Pros
  • Hands free work
Cons
  • Little things

Great Product - Bandsaws

OK. I have a huge project where I need to build support columns, each column section includes 4 sections of 24" long HSS 3 x 3-3/16 and then 6.4" long. Pieces of square tubing of the same size. My metal supplier charged $7 per cut. So any speaker that cost me $210 just cost me. So I went out and bought a cheap $200 Harbor band saw. And one of those blades, so each pillar, would cost me $210 just to cut. So I went out and bought a cheap $200 band saw. One of those blades and a Bosh blade just in

Pros
  • Great for cutting soft ferrous metal
Cons
  • Expensive

Was a bit concerned if it would be suitable for the purpose. I have now used one of the blades on several objects and am more than happy with it. That should take me some time. much pressure on the blade or speed, the blade will last a long time. Suitable for DIY or light crafts. The teeth will clog if you cut an ally, however, he will cut them, and the teeth are easy to clean. blade tension and do not store the saw under tension. There is also an audible noise when the blade (goes through the…

Pros
  • 14 tpi - fixed tooth profile, tooth spacing is 1.8mm per tooth
Cons
  • Drill pack

Just say Power & Hand Tools number

This gets one star because zero stars is not available. It broke in less than an hour after breaking several billets with severely slanted notches. This blade will never move straight and cut straight. This is the first time I've had this problem with my HF 4x6 in almost two years of owning it. And he made a very loud noise in the bandsaw wheels. When I took it off and straightened it out, I saw that the bed of the canvas along the butt was visually curved and not straight. In comparison, the…

Pros
  • 14TPI good for cutting thin section pipe etc.
Cons
  • Out of style
