Takes off very easily.

They didn't convince me at all. After cutting a rod, they were cleaned. The cheap blade that came with my WEN band saw lasted at least 20 times longer. Not worth the money.

Pros
  • Power tools and hand tools
Cons
  • Functionality

The blades are too brittle so the teeth break very easily

Of the 6 blades I bought I used 3. All three lost about a fifth of their teeth within four inches of cutting 1/8 inch mild steel and could not be used within 18 inches due to tooth loss. If they work better on thicker metal I'll upgrade this from two stars.

Pros
  • Power tool parts and accessories
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Improvement over the original blade OEM

My original blade broke one day with the saw sitting still, no cut, no strain, no strain. The original blade was .025" thick, but the manufacturer's catalog offered a .020" replacement? So, because of the price and the brand, I decided to try this set of knives. I use this saw primarily for light cutting of steel, oil, and aluminum, mostly without oil; no more than 1 1/2 inches thick. This blade is an improvement over the original, offering a cleaner, easier cut. For now, the good times will…

Pros
  • saw blades, parts and accessories
Cons
  • ill thought out
