Pros & Cons
Pros
This is one of those slap-the-ol'-forehead purchases where you wish you had made the choice years ago. They take paint well, look like real wood and never rot. Bought this inexpensive blade as a back-up to an older blade.
Cut cleanly, no problems. Cut through hardened aluminum track easily and cleanly. Cuts like butter.
Blade was installed in my cheap miter saw. Bought this for use with my ryobi chop saw. Perfect for cutting aluminum edging profiles when laying ceramic tile.
Highlights
Quality

After receiving the blade id be willing to wager that the blade being installed backwards was exactly the case in the bad reviews
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The blade is only printed on one side and that printing is on the back side opposite of the side most blades are printed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Intuitively many will think the printing is supposed to face them as they tighten the nut but thats wrong in this case
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Also the direction of rotation could be more clearly indicated on the side that is printed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There is an arrow but its a larger design that looks more like part of a logo and theres no printed text stating rotation

Needed a blade to cut an aluminum floor transition strip

Attached is a 14” cross section both sides have been cut because i made a measurement error
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If you zoom in you can see the top side is a clean cut as it had enough weight on both sides of the blade to keep the material in place the bottom side is not clean on the exit as there wasn’t enough mass to keep it in place
