Purchased this to cut granite countertop and backsplash. I'm happy with the blade and will be nice to have it for future projects. This did the job fine and easily cut dark gabbro type granite.
There was no overheating and the cuts were straight and sharp.I made over fifty cuts so far with no noticeable loss of function. I used this blade on a Makita Hypoid Saw (dry) to cut through reinforced concrete.I had debated whether I should use this blade on my saw or a large abrasive one on a gas-powered saw (which I'd have to rent). This blade ate through the material surprisingly well. It's well worth the money since a cheaper blade will last you a fraction of the time. It ate through three inches of concrete with absolutely no problem in two passes.
Not cheap, but lasts a long time. In comparison, it was not as bad as I thought, and if you only expect to do a little cutting, the thinner kerf and lower price may be for you. DeWalt makes a cheaper black diamond blade that only lasts they say 30X. I've also used one of those blades.
