Features

Application-specific super micrograin carbide teeth are 50-60% larger than standard carbide teeth and allow for multiple re-sharpenings.
Anti-vibration technology eliminates sideways movement against the material for a quieter, smoother cut with a superior finish and long cutting life.
Laser-cut heat expansion slots allow the blade to expand during use to keep the cut true and straight.
Permanent red Teflon coating prevents rust and guarantees less working friction and resin adhesion.
Precision-tensioned blade bodies made of high strength steel (40–45 Rc) stay flat and true throughout years of service.
Tri- metal brazing technique produces strong, impact resistant bond between carbide teeth and steel blade body.

I was frustrated with how fast my steel plywood blades were wearing out cutting plywood, on a Shopsmith 520, so after reading the reviews I decided to give this blade a try. Although a little expensive, I agree with the other reviewers that this is one great blade. It produces clean, low shatter cuts in cabinet plywood. I did experience some burning on the fence side of the blade, but after several cuts it went a way. So far this blade has exceeded the life of two steel blades, but will have to produce quality cuts in excess of six standard blades to be more cost effective over the long haul. If it lasts I would buy it again.

This blade works well on my Ridgid TS3650. It cuts nice smooth cuts though plywood and other sheet goods. If you want a dedicated blade for cutting sheet goods like a hot knife through butter this is the blade to get.

This blade is the "bomb", don't even think about cutting plywood or melamine with anything else. It produces a great cut with NO blowout on the bottom of the sheet (assuming your saw fence is parallel to the blade), prepare to be amazed if you have been using a regular blade to cut your sheet goods.

I used this blade for ripping up hardwood strips for a breadboard project. It gave a nice clean cut that glued up very well.
