My impression is that they do cut cleaner, although I haven't used them

in a direct comparison to be 100% sure. I've used the new ones mostly in
pine
(my son's a cub scout, and I was doing the cuting for the boys in a pack
meeting
last week). The new blades leave a finish that's smoother than a
Timberwolf
blade on my 14" bandsaw, with essentially no tearout (I was expecting the
pine to tear out on the top). The different may be more apprent with
softwoods and plywood
than with hardwood.

Thanks, I'll have to try a pack next time I buy blades.
