Very nice blade for the radial arm.  Initial jump in is lower and more easily controlled than the prior blade (basic Ryobi blade) and so far the crosscuts in solid red oak board and birch ply have been very smooth and splinter-free.  Ripping in red oak was also smooth although I got just a touch of burning...probably due to me feeding to conservatively.  The blade runs smooth and quiet for the most part; occasionally I get some high pitch shriek but I haven't pinned down whether it is material or thickness...whatever the case it is a lot better than my prior blades so I call it tolerable.  I may try a blade stiffener in the future if it doesn't give up too much depth of cut.
