Well,
I ordered the ¾" M42 blade Tuesday evening via eBay and it arrived in the post Thursday morning which is pretty good service.
I tried it this morning and must say I am very please with it. It is a bit thicker than my other blades (I only have two others) and feels quite strong, I think it will last me a long time.
As for cutting, I cut some strips from a scrap of 4" timber and was able to make them very thin and straight.
So I too can recommend Dragon Saws to other forum members.
regards
Brian
