Has anyone tried the new Amana tool Mamba blades?

They are MAMBA, not Mambo.

From the laser-cuts on them (expansion slots), they sorta look like they were made by Leitz.

I just ordered one. They are very well priced.

The term "Construction" or "Contractor" on a saw blade often indicates less carbide and less precision than "Woodworking" or "Woodworker" on a saw blade, but Amana typically makes nice blades and these at least look decent. What do you plan to use it for?

Got a 60 tooth, I will use it for a general ripping blade on my table saw. I have been happy with Amana products in the past so I doubt this will be any different. However the price of these are so low it is odd for Amana.

60T rip blade, what diameter is it?

It's not really a rip blade but thats what I would use it for, ripping sheet goods.. It's a 10 inch. The only downside for me is that it's a thin kerf.
