I have used many other brands. The Bosch carbide withstands almost any material I face. It also holds its edge/cutting surface a lot longer than competitors. I have cut porcelain tile then cut a solid brass water fixture with same blade and it continues to cut. Very impressed with this blade.
Terrific product! These blades cut better and faster than the garbage you buy that's made in China. Even if these are made in China, they are made under the direction of the Germans.
