Han seems to be a little confused when it comes to setting up his sales page. I may question that little detail on facebook, he's posting on one of the lapidary sales groups. I have been pleased with most of what I have purchased from them, not top quality but for the price... I bought some crimped edge trim saw blades for the rock club lap shop, won't do that again, they definitely don't hold up to the abuse they get from students. Their sintered edge blades may be better, but personally I'll stick with 303's.

I bought some 6", 10" and 12" blades from Hans over two years ago and paid with Pay Pal. They price the blades low then make their profit by ultra-jacking up the shipping charges. I received the blades with several having rusty areas, but still usable. All of the blades required bushings to fit on 1/2" or 5/8" arbors. They sent the bushings separate, not mounted in the blades. When I tried to attach the bushings they sent me, none of the 1/2" arbor size bushings fit properly in the hole in the blades, and some of the 5/8" size didn't either. The outer dimensions were too small so the bushings would just fall through. It was impossible to use them. I contacted Hans and he wanted me to send pictures with a caliper showing the differences between the saw hole size and the outer bushing size in order to prove my claim. I took pictures and emailed them. They agreed to send me replacements right out. It took several reminders but six weeks later I received the replacement bushings. Only about half of the replacements they sent me fit properly. And most of the replacement bushings were rusty. The overall quality of the 12" blades I received was decent. The 10" blades are not flat and true so they have a little wobble in them when they run. The 6" blades are okay for softer materials like turquoise, or for trimming faceting rough but won't last long trimming agates slabs. My recommendation is if you buy from them, pay with Pay Pal so if you have any unresolved problems you can have chance at reasonable recourse.

Or just buy good blades. Buy from an American supplier and "recourse" is much simpler.
