As the hours dragged by and the dust piled up, I grew to loathe this blade’s tenacity. It was the clear winner in the endurance test, turned in the fastest cutting times, cut smoothly, and was the most cost-effective choice among all the competitors. It is also the blade recommended by James Hardie.
