Ted J.: Does not burn, even cherry. Stay sharp MUCH longer than ANY other BLADES. NOTHING COMES CLOSE. HAVE tried them all. Those that say they are no better don't have there Saws set up properly. Will never use anything else. Spent just as much replacing other blades that never cut as well.

MJ Poppyseed: We bought this blade for our Delta unisaw (which I LOVE) because we had noticed it was getting a little harder to push wood through the blade and there was a little bit of burning. The saw is second hand to us, so maybe that had been the original blade, who knows. Installation was very easy if you've ever changed a table saw blade before. Yesterday I decided to rip a piece of 3/4" plywood and WOW!! It cut through the plywood like a warm knife through butter. No chipping or flying debris or even a second's hesitation for me pushing the wood through. I had to text my hubby and tell him that whenever we need a new blade, we MUST buy this one again. We've been reading that we may be able to sharpen it in time but I am over the moon impressed with the quality and sharpness of this blade. Worth every penny!

D. Thiel: THE LOWDOWN: Considered the best combo blade on the market. Worth the price.

THINGS TO CONSIDER:

-- This blade has an alternating top bevel (ATB) tooth pattern. That means that the teeth stick up higher on the sides then in the middle -- which means it's NOT good for cutting spline slots or kerfs that you'll want to fit another piece of wood into (as in boxmaking). (Most rip blades have flat teeth, so buy a cheap ripper from the borg if you are looking to make those sort of kerf cuts.)

-- This blade is thick. If you've got a larger cabinet saw, you're in the clear to use it. (With my 3hp Grizzly 1023, it's like butter.) With a smaller saw (contractors or benchtop) you may not have enough power to push this thing through thick hardwood, so it's worthwhile to ask around and plan ahead.

-- Plan for the kerf size when purchasing wood. I know I more than once found that I'd forgotten to account for such a wide kerf in my material planning. If you rip a board into four sections with this blade, you're going to lose 3/8ths to the kerf! So, if you're conservation minded when it comes to pricey wood, you might want to opt for a...

Kindle Customer: I have been building up my home shop for years and have purchased a good deal of the tools in it from Amazon. I depend on the reviews left here to determine whether I should buy a certain item or not. I read ALL the reviews before I buy. Sometimes there are radically different reviews on the same product from different people that all sound like they know what they are talking about, though, so you just have to trust the overall rating. Lately, I have noticed that my projects seem less perfect than I think they should so I started looking to nicer tools. Without doubt, those nicer tools have made a difference in my work and I just wanted to tell any other woodworkers out there moving past the novice level that its ok to skimp on certain things, the things you can modify or may not use that often, but on certain tools, you just shouldn't... I recently decided that I didn't like the tearout that I always get crosscutting plywood on the table saw and cutting ANYTHING on the compound miter, radial arm, or small circular saw. They were all the original blades that came with the tools and were long in the tooth - besides being junk in the first place. The radial arm...
