My question is "What kind of blade are you running that needs a stiffener?" The only good use I have ever found for a stiffener, is to off set arbor nut where threads are worn down.
Glad you updated your post; I buy frequently from Amazon.
I’m glad as well to hear that it is a legitimate Forrest product.

It's true that for general cutting, particularly with a full kerf blade, there's not a whole lot of benefit to the stiffener. There is some benefit when running thin kerf blades to add some strength...maybe reduce a little vibration/runout due to the nature of thinner steel, etc. Objective and Subjective kinda balance things out. There's never any harm in using one, other than potentially limiting depth of cut. I did use one back when I had a contractor's style saw and ran thin kerf blades. There was a perceivable difference, albeit slight, in quality of cut.
