Here is a blade that I just broke that shows just how strong the brazed joints are on these blades. Its a poor picture as I took it on my tablet and uploaded it here so I hope the size is right. This is a piece of 1/2" lenox diemaster 2 14/18t blade. I was using power feed on my vertical saw and I bumped the feed lever to full speed forward. It pulled the blade apart instead of the silver(looks gold in pic) joint. Luckily it locked it up here so we can see the failure.
