This review is from: DELTA 28-165 Bench Band Saw Blade 56-1/8-Inch by 1/4-Inch, 6 Teeth per Inch (Tools & Home Improvement) There was a little rust on the blades (I bought 4) even though they were in "blister packs". I've only made a few cuts with the first blade but the bald is very sharp and cut very well. Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: DELTA 28-165 Bench Band Saw Blade 56-1/8-Inch by 1/4-Inch, 6 Teeth per Inch (Tools & Home Improvement) had trouble with this blade as it didnit have blade set. Returned it once for a replacement and the second blade was in the same condition as the first. It appears th;at this was a bad manufacture that got through quality control.
Handling of the returns was good. By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: DELTA 28-165 Bench Band Saw Blade 56-1/8-Inch by 1/4-Inch, 6 Teeth per Inch (Tools & Home Improvement) I had thought my old blade was sharp but that I must have been doing something wrong. I was trying to rip a red oak 1x2 on edge on a 30 degree bevel (for a threshold / door stop) and the wood kept closing in on the blade, jamming the saw. Not only that, but the cut had drifted 1/16 inch. Since I was only 1/6 through that was looking like a big problem. Interrupting that work I tried cutting a small piece of cedar and the old blade broke. I found this new one - reasonable price and ordered. Installation was no problem and I applied a little solid lube to it so it would coat the blade guides, which I reset close to the blade and close to the deck. I set up the saw again for ripping the oak threshold, paying more attention to its drag on its wood scrap guides clamped to the deck. With trepidation I started the saw and started feeding the wood. It cut like butter, straight and clean. That's sharp. |
