I'm using variable pitch blades on this machine. They have a mixture of course and fine teeth. So far I've been cutting a lot of 100x100x5mm SHS steel and they seem to cope well.

The blade is about 25mm wide so doesn't flex as much as my smaller machine which has about a 16mm wide blade. It seems to cut pretty straight but I imagine it'll be like the smaller machine and the cut will start to wander when the blade gets dull.

Cheers
