Harbor Freight Chop Saw Upgraded Blades

[Omega]

Some guys on another forum were talking about the Harbor Freight chop saw many use to cut their brass cases with and one of the guys found a blade that leaves a much smoother cut than the standard blade that comes with it.  The problem was that it was about $20.  Another posted a link to a similar blade (both US made) that was cheaper but shipping made it as much as the Amazon supplied blade.  So, I offered to foot the initial cost of 10-20 of them from Malco Saw and mail them out when I get them, then divide the total between us ($9.87 if 10 $9.17 if 20) then add actual shipping from me in TN, can't be more than a couple/three dollars to mail, and better if you want multiples as it will only go up slightly for shipping. 

I am cutting this close here (gave them until tomorrow midnight) but thought that maybe some of you may want to get in on it as well.  Here are the links to the Malco blade and the HF blade, as well as the F&D blade for comparison.  One guy that uses the F&D got about 21K cases cut before needing to replace the blade, second blade is still good but needs new saw.

Fwiw Bosch makes replacement blades @ 6 bucks a piece.... they work really well! But the hf blades are thinner and cut faster
