Customer Rating:
I needed a blade for my CMS to cut some .5 x .25 aluminum bar stock that I was using for trim on some commercial furniture. I was warned by some that metal cutting blades can grab and that I might not get the results I was looking for. They were wrong. I did securely clamp each piece into the saw and took the cut slowly - the results were perfect. A clean cut that went like the proverbial hot knife through butter. I highly recommend this blade.
"My new favourite store!
I just finshed my very first woodworking project (A workbench of course...couldn't do much without it!) and I can honestly say I did it mistake-free because of the advice from Charlie at the Rockler Store on S.Lyndale Ave. in Minneapolis.
He sold me what I needed, not what I thought I needed. (which would have been about twice as much!) He was very patient with all my questions, and gave me great advice on how to do things.
These folks are knowledgable and extremely helpful.
Charlie & Rockler - Thank You for all your help and all your future help!
- A new loyal customer." -
