I have used the carbide blades for resawing and cutting blanks. I will only
use it on something that I know for sure doesn't have rocks in it. I was
making venier from a madrona burl and had the misfortune to find a rock in
it, or rather the blade did and as it was a 3/4 it could not be resharpened.
They are costly. Stick with the bimetals.
