We purchased a band blade for our industrial saw based on our own experience with Olson's reputation. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with the performance of this particular product. The blade was dull and needed constant sharpening, causing unnecessary downtime and the need for replacement sooner than expected. Overall, it was a waste of money and we will not be purchasing this product again.
The blade I received was about 3" shorter. It broke after I tried to install it even though I adjusted the idler to the minimum clearance. If you have a delta band saw, avoid this item. I finally bought a Delta 28-225 blade that suits me perfectly.
Blade length does not match 72.5" as shown on product. The box clearly says 72.5", however the saw blade is only 70.5" long and will not fit a Delta 10" band saw. Now I don't have the blade I need for the project. Can't return, waited 5 months before opening the box because I don't need a replacement blade; now it's useless. See attached photo. Also, the blade bends too easily.
