I have 6” Pro Slicer blade I got with my trim saw. Haven’t used it. A real delicate blade for cutting softer material. Very thin kerf.
I’m wondering how well they hold up if used right --and what right is? New ones cost about 40 bucks and thinking of buying one.
any experience you can impart is appreciated

Save the pro-slicer for more expensive materials like Opal, Turquoise, Sugalite, Charolite, Meteroites, etc.. Even if you are not cutting those types of materials now you may decide to later. Thin kerf blades won't last as long trimming slabs of hard materials as a thicker kerf blade made to do so will. Larry C.

these are not best pictures but I was cutting some color the pro-slice blade worked marvelously especially on the specimens one dollar for 12 pieces they’ll make some interesting heart halves
