This is my second blade and I highly recommend trying this blade. The 10 TPI x 1/4" size was very useful and practical. Originally I wanted it to be a versatile (not sawable) sheet of wood that would be great for making jigs, templates, embellishments and more. I had to have this recently used for metal (nonferrous) and it worked great. I had to cut a 12" long and 3/4" thick piece of copper lengthwise; it cuts like butter. I also had to cut aluminum (see easier than sawing wood). It may not be the best thing to do with this blade (or bandsaw) but it holds up great and stays sharp Throw it away As far as cutting wood goes, this is a very stable cut and a clean cut cutting jig plywood i can cut a series of sharp radii and then cut a long straight line no problem the cut edge is pretty clean very surprised how well it works I have attached some sample photos.
