This is the Signature Series Woodworking 10x80t. I can get it for under $40 from a friend I don't know much about the brand is it a good deal ?

The Signature Series is said to be pretty good, but I've never tried one. I did have a 60T Oldham finishing blade from their contractor series and thought it was terrible...hopefully that's not an indicator of the quality of their Sig line.

I have this exact blade and have NEVER been happy with it. I get better edge finishes with my 40 tooth Freud. At one point I got it professionally sharpened hoping it would come back better and it did not.

I would not pay even $30 for another one if it was offered to me.

My 2 cents,

can't speak of the blade in question but generally speaking, oldham is not considered to be anything special when talking about blades. IMHO
