I use marcrist bf850's Pretty dear but last more than twice as long as the spectrum and also cuts faster.
I shall have to try these pulvex ones next.

I found them good enough. They lasted about 40 percent as long as the marcrist but were only 35% of the price, they cut slower though which swung me.

spectrum blades are middling fine really but like the jcb blades not as quick as the pulvex
like Neo I would rather spend a bit more on a blade that works faster

I have a pulvex, and its just been used on some stonemarket antique rustic slabs, and was struggling. My mate comes along with his pulvex blade, brought at the same time as mine, knife through butter. Whats gone wrong there?

Mine is on a ts400, his a ts410.

a lightweight block 6 - 8 times making a line straight across the block will normally put the edge back on the blade
