Very happy that the blade lives up to the hype. Cuts straight and true with very minor saw marks on Maple logs with twisted grain. Easily and quickly resaws 6" wide logs into consistent .085" thin slices on my Rikon 10-326 bandsaw, and I'm sure it can go much thinner. I first tried the Rikon OEM 5/8" 5TPI sawblade, then a Timberwolf 1/2" 3TPI PC Series blade, but they both struggled to cut consistently straight despite employing all the tricks to set up for blade drift, and despite both being sharp brand-new blades (that had no tooth-set abuse from cutting curves). I found that the Resaw King blade cuts just like a thin kerf rip tablesaw blade, which means it works great and doesn't suffer from tooth set wear problems of a normal bandsaw blade, and cuts fast. The 3/4" width concerned me initially on my 14" bandsaw wheel since many people profess how the bottom of the gullets should be aligned at the center of the wheel. That is not possible on the 14" bandsaw since it can only fit a 3/4" maximum blade width. Turns out this works perfectly with the blade centered on the wheel. My only minor "complaint' was the blade came with some light surface rust on it, which cleaned off completely with a minor scuffing of 400 grit sandpaper then a damp wipe of mineral spirits. I appreciated that the teeth come protected in a full heavy gage plastic sleeve. I hope it stays sharp a long time like the reviews say because I plan on using it a lot. I bought on sale and am very happy with the performance and value.

Great so far. Cuts quite and smooth on my Laguna 14'' inch SUV bandsaw. The blade has had issues in the past with faulty welds that make them wobble or not track right. I ordered this 1'' inch one and it is fine in all departments. The thinner metal allows for smaller saws to tension a 1 inch carbide blade without issues. Cuts very smooth and the wood needs no heavy planning or sanding after being re sawed or ripped. I am glad I didn't get the thinner 3/4'' as I worried that a wide blade would be too much for my saw but the one inch blade has worked very well.

I was a little skeptical but when I used it on a black walnut log, it sliced through it like butter on my 14â€

The blade is great and expensive. But she "Don't" like Hickory!!! So I'm thinking any very hard dry wood will be a problem. Yes the band saw and blade are properly tuned. And yes was very slow feed rate had to be used...
