Great blade. Used it a lot.

This blade is living up to its hype.
First thing I noticed is that the stock moves a lot faster with a
dedicated rip blade.
Second thing I noticed is that the cut surface comes out looking as good
or better than a edge done on a router.
With the exception of some light burns due to operator error, it cuts a
pristine edge.

IMHO, table saws shine at ripping, it is what they do best. Cutting
panels to size (plywood, MDF, PB) is another of its strong points, but
a proper panel saw does that job better and takes up way less space,
but you can't rip lumber on a panel saw, so table saw it is.
