🔪 Olson FB08570DB 0 025 2 Inch Regular - Optimal Precision for Your Cutting Needs Review

I only cut 8 to 1/4 inch thick aluminum which is pretty fast for me. Maybe as I use it, I doubt it. If that blade wasn't made Monday or Friday

Very cool for tight radii. One of the few available that I have found. Unlike some buyers I have had absolutely no problems installing it on my Rikon 10" Bandsaw I have installed and reinstalled this blade several times with no problems once the bend and tension are set properly as with any bandsaw blade. I am a trained carpenter with over 25 years of experience.

Purchased in November. I just got around to setting it up today. As another reviewer mentioned, I had a lot of trouble tracking it on the steering wheel. If he followed perfectly, after a few minutes he would fly off the wheel in a small turn. I know tension isn't the issue, but maybe it's just the bane of 1/8" band saws. In any case, cutting a long, small curve into 1 1/2" thick jaws, the blade broke. I like the Olsen circular saw blades, but I would not buy another band saw blade from them.

Please accept the following requirements for this review:* I am a new bandsaw owner* My bandsaw is not a high end bandsaw; I would say this is the average grade for a DIYer. However, here is my experience with this 1/8" blade: This 1/8" blade does not stay on the wheel guides! I spent about 2 hours trying my best to follow the instructions that came with my band saw to set the band saw up properly after installing this blade. No matter how much I change the settings, this canvas keeps slipping…

I was very disappointed with this 1/8 inch blade. As I assembled and turned the wheels by hand, I noticed a significant "walk" to the back of the blade, right where the ends were welded during manufacture. This caused the saw blade to knock against the rear bearing once for every revolution while the saw was running. It's almost as if it's misaligned when held horizontally during the welding process. As I bought it over a year ago and just installed it, I can't return it. I will however contact
