: I had a bit of trouble with the 7 1/4 vermont american blade.

hi tom;

i'm on my third boat/third blade. all 7 1/4 v-a. i have yet to have a problem. it could very well be that it's just my streak of good luck showing. i did wear out a 9" on the maple trim for my wee lassie, but have yet to have any trouble with the 7 1/4's on softwood.

i use v-a's drill bits in my sheetmetal shop as well. they aren't rugged but they are cheap.

i'll be watching for any problems while i cut my next boat.

thanks;
daren.

it is not the blade type, it is the table size
