bandsaw for port freight, always worked fine. I've always used HF blades. The store stopped selling 3/4 inch blades so I bought this one. NO MATTER! Saw like a new saw. Cuts are smooth, straight and quick. I had no idea the problem was with the HF blade and not the car. The HF blades didn't last very long. I've only used the new one twice but looking at the blade I think it will last a lot longer.
