I used these blades on a Kalamazoo swivel head? & a hydraulic power feed DoAll with slipper guides, which worked exceptionally well. The Kala had rollers, both cut reliably & I didn't have issues with either. You're? right a 4 x 6 might shudder with a carbide grit blade but if thats what you have on hand I think you should be able to get thru as long as the the job is not oversized for the machine. Cut mostly carbon fiber & some fiberglass composites. Nothing special just run coolant when possible & once you get started cutting initially you will eventually work your way to the settings that work best for you. These materials are severely aggressive on the blades but they gave good service life & you just have to accept the fact that they will die sooner than cutting metals. A good bi metal blade for metals is the ticket also.
