I've since switched to Original brand blades which are made in Japan and were cheaper at the time of purchase. I'll update this review after more use of the blade. An arbor adapter is included for 5/8 to 1/2 inch. To me and some others this influences the purchasing decision. This saw blade is not made in the USA as Amazon states in the product description and as the website picture indicates.
I've only done a few tests cuts with it and it worked good. Mine was made in China. It seems that no one in the USA whats to make a 5 1/2 inch blade with 1/2 inch arbor or at least I haven't found one. Even though the description states that its for cordless saws, the Oldham website states that the saw blade is also intended for the corded 5 1/2 inch saws by Skil and Makita with 1/2 inch arbors.
This is the best cost / quality blade that you can buy for 5-1/2 inch saw. It fits my makita perfectly.
