The brand new band saw blade has extremely sharp cutting edge. In order to ensure a long service life of the band saw blade, it is essential to "break-in" the band saw blade correctly before first use. Otherwise, the sharpest part of the bandsaw blade may break/deform, which can lead to a significant reduction in the overall life of the saw blade.
