Review on 🔧 Efficient Woodworking Precision with Benchmark Abrasives 5-1/2" 36T TCT Wood Saw Blade for Finishing & Framing by Vince Preston

I bought this blade for my old Ryobi miter saw that used an 8 1/2 inch diameter blade. Blades of this size are not many. I bought a blade to finish my pine carving job. I figured it must be great, a 60 tooth blade would make the job easier. Unfortunately it isn't. Cut the first piece of 3/4 inch coil at a 45 degree angle. It cut like a dull blade on the first cut. He burned the end of the tree and ripped out a piece at the bottom. This time I tried again. Push the blade down slowly. Too much smoke, still singed the end and pulled a chip from the bottom of the piece I cut. I keep this blade to cut the carcass but buy something else to finish the job. Even a cheap blade must be sharp immediately! I think there's a reason this blade was 30% smaller than my other options. Will not be buying Benchmark Abrasives blades again.
