For the price this is a rip off. First, the "thin kerf" is five thou thicker and a comparable dealt blade, but I knew that going in and banked on the "legendary" clean cuts that are touted on the internet. Second, my first cut after installing: burned wood. I figured there might be some shmew do I did a couple more and kept getting the same result. My conclusion is this blade is not a horrible blade but is definitely mostly hype. Returning.
