High price for the cuts you get

These blades dull very quickly. I've only used them on 1/8" mild steel and they've only lasted 4-5 cuts. I've been using wearable bandages for 40 years and these are the worst blades I've ever used.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • It's ok

Saw blades are not included.

Blades not included. If that's important to you, don't buy it. But it's the same thing you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot, just without the manufacturer's packaging.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

Terrible durability, fades instantly.

I could not make more than 1-2 cuts on a 1.5mm stainless steel blade despite claims that "Matrix II HSS teeth offer maximum durability". The portable bandsaw itself is amazing, but these blades aren't absolute junk.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • not reliable

If the list were honest I wouldn't buy it.

Not exactly a three pack, just three lost blades from a larger supply, in an envelope pouch. They are stamped Milwaukee but in a different color than the real Milwaukee (darker than the real Milwaukee). Not used yet, will update if I try to fit on a bandsaw for size/fit and durability.

Pros
  • Nice package
Cons
  • I don't remember

Worst blades ever for Blades

I figured the reviews were just from people who don't know how to use a bandsaw so I went against my common sense and bought them. I'm not sure if these are genuine Milwaukee blades or not, but they're cheap. They break at the weld every time and I've had 3 blades in two weeks. I have enough blades for almost 6 months of daily use. Stay away from this Chinese junk

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
