Read all of the reviews and comments on multiple websites and decided to give this one a try. I have Freud and Forrest blades for the table saw and have been pleased with their cuts. I just finished cutting up some Jatoba, red oak and hard maple for three different projects and the results were great. Very clean rips and crosscuts once I got the feel for the speed that I needed to maintain with the new blade. I actually was going too slow and getting some burn marks in all three of the woods and speeding the rate up solved that problem. Recommend this blade - especially when it is on sale!
