I've owned the saw that these were designed for for many years and have learned a few things about their use. I've seen some guys say they don't last long enough, etc. I know I've pushed these blades through heavy pieces of steel and gotten them hot and they're junk, just like that. Also, the first contact with the piece you're cutting needs to be gentle as to not chip the teeth. Used in this manner, they last a really long time and then I feel they're worth the high price. I originally bought this saw for the fact that there is no abrasive dust to breathe during use, and for a more precise cut, both of which are fantastic. I will continue to buy more as needed.

This is the second blade that I have purchased for my Evolution saw. This is the exact blade that was supplied with the saw when I purchased it and that blade lasted over 90 days in my welding shop. I cut lots of 4" 14 ga. square tube, 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/8" angle, 1/8" x 1", 2", 3", 4", & 6" wide flat bar as well as some 1/2" re-bar and various round and square bar up to 1". I use this saw daily and it sees a reasonable amount of use. My tips for better blade life are to clamp work securely and don't over-feed the blade into the material, if you are getting much vibration feedback you are cutting too quickly and shortening the life of the blade. For the second blade on my saw I tried Evolution's 36 tooth version of this blade and it did not last as long as the 66 tooth blade. It cost a bit less but it lasted maybe half as long. I don't believe it is due to a lesser quality but at nearly half the tooth count I think it just wears out sooner. The 36 tooth blade seemed to build heat quicker which doesn't help blade life. I think the 66 tooth blade is a better value even at a higher price due to the better blade life and I the cut quality is better in my opinion too. If you don't need a steel cutting blade often or just have a smaller project to get through the 36 tooth is fine but, for my money and application the 66 tooth blade is the better value.Read full review

These are pretty pricey. It's way too easy to knock off a carbide tooth. Angle iron twists out of the clamp and knocks teeth off the blade. Great for round or square tube, just not for angle iron. Needs a special clamp face to hold angle iron and keep it from jumping out of the clamp.

This blade has been the most appreciated choice in our sheet metal shop. It's great for cutting slips and angle iron. It goes right through what ever we put into the saw. Lasts longer than other blades that we've tried.

Purchased this blade based on reviews. Original blade (multi-purpose material cut) performed very well , however knowing i would be cutting metal more often then other materials the original blade lifespan would be shorter. After using new blade, the cutting performance was clearly an upgrade to multi-material blade.
