If I know anything about Harbor Fright tools, it's that it is always a bad idea to use their blades. I've seen way too many blades snap, and cutting discs rip themselves apart at high speed.

Just before the season this year I was building a new tailgate for my truck my friend was using a HF grinding Disc in my Ryobi. It broke in half, and caught him in the safety glasses and the bridge of his nose.

Steer clear.
