Not the quality I expected from P.Cable. While it cuts, the blade has a wobble, i.e. bent so it cuts like a cheap dado. Not really wide, but as a cabinet maker it does not cut a thin cut that the Freud (spelling) blades make. It is going back to whomever...

I attached this thing to my "Saw Boss" which has "9" amp motor. I buzzed through plywood, 2X4's and an assortment of stuff with little effort. You must remember this blade cuts less material so you are working a lot slower, as in really slow when compared to the other blades. I made excellent clean cuts with no problems at all, but then again the Saw Boss pulls "9" amps so it does not slow down for much. Never used this blade on my cordless so I don't know how that would work, but I would guess as soon as the blade slows down the project gets to be a real tedious.

I actually picked this up at my local tool store. I needed a blade to rip some plywood cleanly and the price was right. I thought that with this blade I could avoid the hassle of my corded circular saw.

As I was purchasing this, the salesman raised his eyebrows and expressed some doubt about the blade. He was right.

The thing ended up being virtually useless. The cuts took forever and the saw screeched like a stuck pig as I tried to push it through the plywood.

To be fair, I guess it is possible that the problem resides with my particular PC cordless circular saw (it's refurbished) and that the problem is not the blade. However, given that the person I bought the blade from had expressed doubts, I think it's the blade.
