I brought this because a friend suggested it and it ...[wasn't expensive].  I have to admit that I was not convinced until I used it.  I use a Freud 80 tooth 10" blade that is the best blade I've found and I didn't really think there was a way to improve my cuts more than by owning the best blade I could find.  I was so wrong.  The difference was immediately seen and rather amazing, especially for something so [inexpensive].  (I just can't seem to be able to get over the fact that for about ...[a less expensive price] I improved my cuts by at least 100%.)
