I'm still using the one I got from an ebay seller called BUTW.Its been going over a year now and I cut about twenty slabs a week on average.I posted some pics of my saw in the homemade equipment board.I,m happy with it and will buy another before this one wears out. Mike

I will second the BUTW green blade. I got more slabs from 2 of them than I did from the MK 301 and they are less than a third the price.

I have a 16" BUTW blade that I have abused for over a year, it is still cutting strong, I have cut several thousand slabs on it. It seems to need dressing less frequently than the more expensive blades, also.

I will also second the 16" BUTW green blade. I bought a MK303 pro about the same time I bought the green blade. The green blade is on the saw and the MK303 is on a shelf where it belongs.

BUTW green blade? Where's the best place to get one? I have a MK-301, it sucks!

How much have you been cutting Brent? You have only had the saw going for about 2 weeks. Your woman is going to forget what you look like.
