Best blade I've ever had on my radial arm saw. Cuts like butter and cuts are very smooth. I haven't tried it out on 4/4 stock yet but I will be using it on  maple soon. It can't be worse than other blades I've used in the past that always want to climb up the stock. My radial arm saw is mounted within my cutting bench and I was thinking of replacing it with a compound mitre saw, but now with this blade my current setup feels more than adequate. I will try to post another review after using this blade on 4/4 x 12" maple for an upcoming project.
