I also prefer these blades. They make very clean cuts, clipping the fibers on either side of the kerf with their ground teeth.

One thing people should keep in mind is saw blades are like knife blades, you will make more accurate cuts with a blade that is sharp. It is easier to cut to a line with a blade that cuts quickly and easily, than with a blade that requires a lot of force to push.

Excessive pushing can bend and deflect the blade causing unreliable cuts. Find the tool that cuts with the least resistance and you will have the best results.
