The best blade I have ever put on my bandsaw. Cuts everything I throw at it, stainless steel, grade 8 screws (wipe my last blade off), chrome moly steel, mild steel and of course aluminum. While most blades have a crack in the weld (ranging from slight to sharp), on this blade I can't tell where the weld is when cutting. It is visually evident that attention was paid to the alignment and cleaning of the weld seam. Would happily pay a few bucks more for this blade again if a replacement is needed, it should last a long time!
