With the money I saved on my Delta 36-650 table saw, I bought this blade and the matching dampener/stiffener on the recommendation of a friend. I am stunned at the quality of the cuts this blade makes; the finished work looks sanded, and the blade cuts all the materials I've tried so well that it's hard to envision going back to regular carbide-tipped blades. When this blade eventually needs to be sharpened, I will probably buy a second one so I don't have to do without it while it's back at Forrest. It's that good.
