these blades last longer than the expensive ones, i make band saw boxes and cut a stack of 5-3/4" boards at a time and they even cut through the tight circles
The blade was easy to set up and cut very quickly. The problem is that with a 10 tpi blade, the blade leaves a very rough surface that needs careful grinding. I have used other 10tpi blades and the cut was much smoother.
I've been using these blades for a long time. I think they are my favorites now. All the others I've used over the years have shorter lifespans than this one and break down too quickly. And these last much longer. My only distance star would be for the fact that they don't stay sharp as long as they last. For quick cuts this works, but fine detail work requires extra work to clean up jagged edges.

I had a 3/16" x .025" x 701/2" HEFB band saw blade, 10t/d. These blades are a waste of money. I know what I mean Bandsaw needs to set up, I have a lot of experience with this, so the blade didn't break through human error. I cut a 1/2" thick piece of pine and made a straight cut when the blade broke immediately. The blade was brand new and was only used a few times Used times.The blade may have been damaged since it was made but the same has happened.with a 1/2" Olson blade in the past.So Iβ¦
