I have been using a 14 inch jet saw for about 20 years and this is the first Timber wolf blade I have ever had Bought. I've fought cheap blades and the Olsen blade with mixed results. But this is from Timber Wolf - best I've ever used, sharp, hungry and soft cutting! I will not go back to smaller blades. Expensive, yes, but I spend a lot more time productively than with the saw.
