This bandsaw blade is pretty decent overall. It's sharp and hard so it cuts straight and clean. Worked well with hardwoods like oak and mahogany and worked diligently with the purple heart until the weld broke. As I laid it on the saw, I noticed that the weld appeared to be slightly concave. So, under the weight of dense wood, it broke. Could it be disposable? So maybe I'll buy another one when they become available and try again. I will update this review here.
