Installed an 8-12 pitch blade on my Femi 782XL, tensioned it properly and got to work right away. First on .090" mild steel pipe. Cut fast and straight, with minimal burr. After the steel, I loaded a 2" x .090" piece of aluminum, same story, cut quickly and accurately with minimal burr, and didn't stress the blade .Both were dry cut with no lubrication.The weld on the blade seems very smooth as the blade doesn't crack or crack when turned.Hard to beat the price as Femi blades are more than twice the price.
