Which BiMetal Sawzall Blade Best? Let's find out! (Episode 1 of 4)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Bi-Metal (Metal Cutting) sawzall blades. Lenox, Diablo, Milwaukee and the Warrior brand. Based upon the testing, the Diablo bimetal blade seems to come out on top over both the Lenox and Milwaukee. With that said, all 3 blades are terrific and I would buy any of those blades. I do not recommend the Warrior blade I tested.

Grateful for the videos! Showdown on drill bits?
Great video idea! Yes, I can hardly wait to begin testing drill bits. Any brands you want tested? Could you please create a new comment so I can easily locate your recommendation? Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm I'd love to see the best harbor freight drill bits tested. They're cobalt tipped or something ? Also I'd like to see how much of a difference cutting fluid, or WD40, motor oil makes when drilling too. Pretty sure harbor freights cheap bits are outclassed by a sharp stick though..
@@ProjectFarm Could you also, after finding the champion bit, test different model drills to see which is the best? brands such as milwaukee, dewalt, and makita are fierce competitors and it would be nice to see which fail, and which will prevail!
@@ProjectFarm At the low end HF and Ryobi, then DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch. You could try to find some drill bits still made in the USA and test those, but I'd almost be afraid to see the results. If they aren't positive it could be a final nail in the coffin of that company.
Project Farm, I would love this as well! For brands, HF, a few big box store brands (dewalt, etc), and Drill Hog. I'm interested most in their ability to stay sharp, and how strong they are as far as snapping. Love your vids man!!
Great comparison again! And it's awesome that you actually listen to your viewers on trying out the Lennox blade. You're the frickin man.
Thank you!
Dude, you're pretty much the best home improvement TH-camr there is.
Thank you
If you set up a drip of thread cutting oil, they will probably cut right through that hardened angle iron. I suggest one of the water soluble cutting fluids for quick heat dissipation.
Great recommendation. Thank you
Again PF's take-no-prisoners tests reflect my own field results...
Used Diablo to slice a 30' piece of 3/8" hardened floor angle into 4 pieces to stop forklifts from destroying wall bases...
Diablo did the job and asked for seconds...good performance from Milwaukees too but we reach for Diablo now...Great stuff as always...Project Farm rocks!!
Thanks!
Have you thought about testing different hole saws? I’ve used rock river, Lenox, and Milwaukee and I’d really like to see the differences in multiple brands.
Great test idea! Thank you.
What about portable band saw blades idk if there will be enough damage to see any difference. Maybe on some tough material. Anyway another great test. Thanks.
Great test idea! Thank you
Great content once again.
Thank you!
I'm using the same Diablo blades in the video and for some reason they get demolished when I use them to cut 1/16inch oval closet rods ( about 21 +/-4 cuts per house I install)
Thanks for sharing.
1:30 How much force do *you* apply when cutting through a metal pipe?
5:06 I bet all the blades would have performed better if you raised them up a couple of inches.
Great point on raising them a little. I used 20 Ibs for the pipe cut.
How about the best hacksaw blade? kinda along the same line. Im guessing rather than time perhaps you would to a weight on the saw and a number of full linear strokes to determine the best cut depth?
Great video idea!
Great video! 👍
Thank you!
Sawzall is the name on a Milwaukee reciprocating saw. You can't use it for any other, so they are simply "reciprocating saws" of other brands.
Great point. I got critiqued last episode for using "reciprocating saw" and was informed that I should be calling them sawzall blades. Trying to get it right. lol
YOUR ALWAY'S WITH THE GOOD DETAIL MY DUDE. GOOD ASS VID'S. HELP'S ALL CUSUMER'S WITH THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE BUCK. THANK'S! 😁
Thank you!
Diablo makes the best blades for everything hands down. Problem is you get what you pay for. Nice thing is diablo can last twice as long or more
Thank you
Very Intertesting
Thank you
Apparently I need to fortify my home with old bed frames.
lol. Not all are equally hard, but the very old frame I tested was very hard.
It'll be perfect against the zombie apocalypse.
My dad always used to tell me over the years that was the hardest steel you can find
Dont know w hat they do ( i do know why tho) to bed frames to make'em so hard.
Best have a torch to cut it with if you want to build anything out of them.
@@davidisaacson5993 heat treating. Well first might mix certain alloys with. But heat it red hot. Dip it in used motor oil. Repeat few times. Or else bake it in a heat treating oven. I don't know all the details. Just some basics. Guy I know has a biz selling industrial heat treating ovens for stuff like that.
The only content source who uses logic behind their results. One of the top channels on TH-cam!!!
Thank you very much!
Indeed !
100% agreed, He is the best!
Yep, open minded with no horse in the race.
Totally Agree!!! :)
You are the only lad on youtube I trust to recommend a product. Your tests are not completely outrageous like info-mercials and actually show practical everyday use. I can't wait for the motorcycle chain lube tests. Cool to see a video today. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Maybe worth checking out AvE's BOLTR (Bored of lame tool review) series. He doesn't really recommend the products, but he takes them apart explains the good and the bad.
Old bed frames make great knives too.
@@ProjectFarm I agree with him, I ride dirtbikes and ATV's a lot and theres a wide variety of chains form the cheap ones to the "racing" ones with X-rings in them. However I find they all last relatively the same amount of time (especially since I dont maintain them)
Couldn't agree with you more
5:55 FYI that is not paint, its ink on the Lenox blade. It is designed to flake off and be removed during use to prevent binding or sticking like traditional paint. They use this same technique on their hole saws to prevent sticking of the plug. That might be another test is hole saws. The arc is designed for when a human uses the blade with a "rocking" motion. The Diablo and Lenox are pretty much neck and neck though.
Great test idea on the hole saws! Thanks for the information on the ink too.
+
The Lenox would have won by "rocking".
Love the Diablo tho.
Yeah man, this video is pretty spot on. I run Diablo big blades and lenox baby curved arc ones for special cutting needs. They both cut through uni strut and allthread like butter, even with a 7/8th inch stroke from a baby sawzall.
Can you try testing the carbide teeth demo blades and also carbide teeth metal blades.
Great recommendation. I'll test both, episodes 3 and 4, competing Lenox, Diablo, and Milwaukee.
Enjoying these sawzall blade tests. I'm looking forward to the next ones.
I would like to see some nail embedded wood being cut, maybe throw in a screw cutting test also. they can be a PITA and destroy a blade in no time.
You've figured out the next 2 video episodes (demolition bi-metal next, then demolition carbide) and the testing approach cutting through nail embedded wood along with drywall screws. Impressive!
I had to saw apart a big playhouse that was put together with deck screws, and even though it was $$ the diablo carbide finished the whole task and is still ready for more, I went through two normal blades just getting through two screws.
@@ProjectFarm I have a nail cutting blade in my circ saw and drywall screws stop it dead, hardened wood screws are no issue for it...drywall screws though are like coffin nails and took the edge right off the carbide teeth.
The 12" diablo demo demon is a beast. My go-to when i need a blade that cuts everything.
@@ProjectFarm drywall screws are extremely hard and will probably destroy any blade out there, with the exception of a diamond or abrasive blade.
How about a test on flap disk?
I'll do it. Great recommendation!
What do you use? I've tried HF Warrior (sucks), Walter and Norton. Walter and Norton are tied for 1st while Warrior at the bottom.
@@dc5723 Abracs and Klingspor are 2 other good brand, as are Arrow Abrasives
@@dc5723 I use 3M Cubitron (ceramic) and CGW flap discs. Both are pretty good. Ceramic is generally worth the price premium IMO. Most of the grinding I do is on mild steel and 304 stainless
Great video. Still a Lenox fan because I can get them on credit at HVAC/plumbing supply houses and not the Diablo. Common practice is to give them a little squirt of WD-40 before cutting but I know you don’t want to spend the next 3 months testing saw blades.
Great point on the lubrication. I'll be testing the Lenox demolition and carbide on episodes 2-4. I've gained a lot of respect for Lenox!
fluke196c Hvac & some Plumbing. If you don’t establish accounts with the supply houses you get charged retail for parts, supplies & equipment instead of wholesale prices. That could be as much as 30% more.
Mario
@@ProjectFarm Use Lenox carbide hole saws at work to cut through SS. Works well hole after hole! Teeth say sharp! Not so much with the Milwaukee brand which they buy because Grainger stocks them.
Love the time, effort and ingenuity you put into your test/comparisons.
Thank you!
Explains why I couldn't sawzall off a chunk of bed rail from the scrap pile; I thought my blades were just too dull, not that the metal was too hard.
After going through a few blades I found out that they are made from spring steel ! Now when I start to see sparks fly at the beginning of the cut I stop and use the chop saw!
You can cut them with a saw if you go very slow, the faster you go the harder it gets, work hardened !
Great point!
@@kengamble8595 Lol man
Thanksgiving morning video.... heck yea! Thanks for the great content and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too.
I think quality Toilet paper comparison should be the next as a video since there isn't any real good reviews on toilet paper. It's something every body uses and it would be nice to know. Charmin Strong, Cottenelle Ultra, Scott Comfort Plus, Quilted Northern Soft & Strong, Angel Soft, Nice & Kirkland
Wth man
Put the TP in a modified saws all blade over a tomato and watch it shread the tomato to simulate extreme ass wiping?
🤣 My prefer Angel Soft. Charmin always clogs my toilet. 💩
Only a roofer would come up with something like that.
This idea stinks
Also impact driver bits would be interesting. Like a Philip's tip, how secure the fit is across brands and how the durability is.
Just a thought... maybe you could get a set or Rockwell hardness files and use them for testing. I.e. you could do sawzall blade teeth hardness, drill bit hardness, impact driver bit hardness ect.
Great video idea! Thank you
Awesome demo and video. This channel is better than Consumers Reports!
Thank you!
Why no charts with price and performance this time?
I'm sorry about that. I'll have price and performance charts in episodes 2-4.
@@ProjectFarm Great, thanks!
Excellent tests. - No sweaty, struggling, shaky, grunting 'human' handling the saw and with absolutely no variable human contact, these tests are "pure"! . You really do these well... Appreciate your content, Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Back when we used to demo out stores, we used ones called 'The Torch', man those went through anything.
Thank you! I'll test the Torch against Diablo and Lenox in episode 4.
The torch is a Milwaukee and I’ve had bad luck with it. The Lennox destroys it in my opinion.
Would you be able to do tests on different types of brake pad materials? I know that there are differences that go much deeper than just this ambiguous change, but it would be cool to see what happens with your logical, straight-forward testing methods.
By different types I mean different material makeups; like organic vs metallic vs ceramic etc
Great test idea! Thank you
I love u made my day much better
Thank you! Hope you have a great day.
Just saying that you can't cut a tire off of a rim with a sawzall it took an hour and a half just to cut the cable that holds the tire together
Great point.
cutoff wheel tends to work better in my experience
Ive done exactly that and it only took like 20 seconds with a diablo carbide blade on almost every tire i had to scrap
Bed frames are very hard. However, I can cut them with a sawzall blade pretty easily, and I used them for my welding projects.
Would the warrior brand be a good choice for PVC? For example if you are a plumber.
Yes, but a taller blade will help deliver a more straight up and down cut without blade drift during the cut. The warrior blade lacks stability.
I've used warrior blades on pvc before, really not good for anything bigger than 2", the teeth break really fast and then you start getting bad/chowdered cuts. I've been using the diablo blade for pvc and it cuts 6" and 8" easy, and it lasts. I've had the same diablo blade for almost 3 months now and still has sharp teeth, where as i was going through a new warrior blade every other week.
Would it work? Yes by all means it would get the job done, but at what cost. Time is money, and no amount of cost savings will cover your time.
If you’re doing it on a professional level you want both economic and speed. Which harbor freight just don’t have in this case. As a home owner for small tasks they are a good option
I bought the Diablo blade even though I primary cut PVC (I'm a pool guy). Lenox blades last a long time in the past and I like how thick the Diablo is. I figure the blade will last me long enough to pass onto my kids lol
I liked the bed frame material tests. That stuff is brutal on my blades
Thank you!
“Spring steel” try welding that stuff, it sucks. Can be done, but will often crack your welds when it cools down
use a grinder with a cut-off disk. *wear protection* , if you twist them they WILL explode and can cut your throat.
Sawzalls are more for light work a diamond cut wheel is better if you have. A worm drive or skilsaw you can cut it with no trouble
Hey diablo makes a new cermet steel cutting circular saw blade that you can use on your normal circular saw. This is probably a better solution for your problem
great video! what about testing different carbide tipped sawzall blades on steel
should of finished the video first i look forward to seeing the rest of the testvideos!
Great recommendation! That's episode 4 of 4 when I test the Lenox, Milwaukee, and Diablo carbide blades against each other on several types of steel. Which one of the three do you think will win the showdown?
@@ProjectFarm i personally use milwaukee and diablo both at work and have had great luck with both looking forward to seeing the results!
Great choices on the blades!
@@ProjectFarm I'm going with Diablo.
*should have
Fantastic video buddy!!!
An excellent work and well done. Thanks for sharing. Have a Beautiful day 👍 👍 👍
Thank you! You too
Milwaukee Torch blades......I have demo'd so many complete cars with literally starting with a 5-pack and having 2 blades left over. They are the best wrecking blades I have ever used, ever.
Thank you! I'll test the torch against the Diablo and Lenox carbide blades in episode 4.
@@ProjectFarm milwaukee makes bi-met and carbide torch blades...most of us use the bi-met blades
As a plumber who’s cut miles of cast-iron pipe, I know the Diablo is always going to be the best and that’s before watching this video.
Thank you
I just thought of something. I remember that Alex Steele blacksmiths on his channel. Here's the pitch for a challenge. Part one, the challenge is put forth to TH-cam blacksmiths to create a steel cutting blade for the "Thanksgiving Turkey Trot" challenge.
Part two, a series of cutting tasks to evaluate/eliminate each blade as they are put through a number of challenges with a benchmark set by a median score of the top three manufactured cutting blades.
Thanks for the idea!
The Diablo blade is cryogenically treated, which is supposed to make it more durable.
Thanks for the feedback.
I tried cutting bed frame steel a while ago with my reciprocating saw and no way ,but i found out from a guy that re-purposes railroad steel rails and thats what they make bed frame steel out of it and its high carbon steel .
Great to know that they are made from railroad steel!
Not surprised, I’ve been only using Diablo blades professionally for years, great blades and great brand
Thanks
Hrm... wonder how well bedframe would harden say chisel or plane blade-wise.
Great point! It's very hard steel!
Keep up the great content love the consumer product tests. It really helps when it comes to buying quality products with our hard earned money. Some other ideas for upcoming videos would be Hole Saws,Uni-bits and Drill bits !
Thank you!
Which Sawzal blade can cut aluminum ?
I dont want to use circular saw, it produces too much chips flying allover.
Thanks for the video idea.
I’m a 40 year Ninja Veteran of Sawzall skill. My favorite is the Lennox Bi metal blades. Teeth per inch is vital in performance thru various materials. 14-18 is just about perfect for material you demonstrated. The harder the material the finer the TPI. One thing that is not taken to account is for the user to not use just one spot in the blade; the build up of heat is quick and is a killer of teeth. Good job on testing though. Keep them coming.
Great point on proper use of these blades. Lenox is a great brand. Looking forward to publishing episodes 2-4 to see how they do.
Electrician here. Thank you for these tests! They're extremely valuable to everyone that gets their hands dirty for a living. Thanks again!
Thank you!
I think that you would make a cheese grater test interesting. TY.
Thank you for the positive feedback!
I'll stick with an angle grinder and cut-off disc.
I'll test cut-off wheels soon.
I still have a few new Milwaukee blades but looks like I’ll try diablo next time. I Missed out on a good Black Friday sale on diablo blades.
Thank you
How about you try cutting sawzall blades, with sawzall blades? Who thinks its worth a try?
Thanks for the video idea
"who else seen the leprechaun say yeeeah"
With it being "change furnace filter time " can you do a video on cheap brands vs expensive brands.
What a terrific video idea! Thank you
********************************* HAPPY THANKSGIVING ********************************
Happy Thanksgiving!
"The Torch" model of Sawzall blades is Milwaukee's top bi-metal blade. The model you tested is their entry blade. The Lennox Gold and Diablo Steel Demon are top line blades. I would like to see a comparison to top of the line models and include Bosch "The Edge" blades. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
Great recommendation. I'll test the Torch in episode 4 of the series against the competition. I'm sorry that I didn't include "the Edge" blades in this series.
@@ProjectFarm No apologies necessary. Keep up the good work. Love the videos and content!
Do oscillating tool blades please! I just wore out my wood/metal blade trying to get through a single 2x4 with only part of 1 screw! I came to project farm to find a better blade.
Keep up the good work, I often check your channel before I go to lowes/HD, saves me a lot of time and grief.
Your should of still tested the warrior
I agree. I felt sort of bad about being so critical of the brand. It's clear that it's not in the same league.
@@ProjectFarm It's like putting a child against a body builder in a wrestling match.
Awesome!!!! Thank you for valuing my advice and the advice of others.... you are becoming a very important part of TH-cam for a lot of us! Thank you and appreciate all the effort you put in! I know it’s not easy to produce quality content..... and your editing & presentation is excellent!
Thank you very much!
What about testing flap sanding disks for an angle grinder??? Please. Also cutting disks.
Both are great test ideas. I'll test both.
Awesome. Thank you very much. I look forward to your videos every week. I can't wait to see it!!!
There is one question about the way that the jig is set up. It seems that the blades initially intersect the cutting surface below the horizontal aspect of the line from the pivot to the tip of the blade. What would happen to these tests if the horizontal aspect of the aforementioned jig set up were to match up (run parallel) with the plane of the pipe's diameter?
Great point. Since the jig uses a hinged design and the downward force is fairly close to consistent, I'm not sure it would matter too much. Great point! Thanks again.
@@ProjectFarm happy thanksgiving. I hope you aren't using the sawsall to carve the turkey.
As long as it is consistent test to test the results are still comparable and valid. Optimizing a test is a whole other ball game. Most of industry testing is optimized to favor their own products
I like the consistency tests better. Set up a repeatable test and let the product be the variable. Much more informative and fair.
@@TheKajunkat
Well, if you notice, one blade had a bit of a curve along their cutting surface. That might have influenced their performance one way or the other. However, utilizing a device to start the saw before the blade comes into contact would be something else to help control test factors.
Your videos are amazing! I don't think anybody puts so much effort into testing stuff. Thank you!!
You are welcome!
literally just did my own, less scientific test of cutting of steel/ cast axle housing mounts....used the spyder brand from lowes, lenox carbide, milwaukee ax, and milwaukee torch carbide......hand down the best was milwaukee torch, then the lenox carbide metal blade.....spyder....joke.
Showdown between Harbor Freight and Northern Tool!
I wish I would have done that for this series. Great point.
once the paint wore off you couldn't tell them apart!
Thank you brother 🙏 I followed your tips many months ago and I turned my first profit today. 284 catalytic converters. It's not honest but it's work! 🤝🤝🙌😃
Where are you finding these Bullitt proof bed frames?!?!? LOL!
I've cut the thing's with a Craftsman hacksaw when I was a kid making stuff!
Can't believe a sawzall can't do any better than that!!
I remove oil tanks, Above ground. I have all Milwaukee tools...I use the Milwaukee 18 tpi blades to cut the tanks. However my question is in your opinion what would be the best combination of sawzall and blade for moving these tanks. About 325 oil tanks a day I go through crapload of blades. I have about seven sawzalls at the moment all the Milwaukee the 12amp and the bigger one but they are constantly breaking. Milwaukee services then but it's annoying. Is there a better option?
I have used the Dewalt black 2X blades for 1/4 angle iron. It's not easy but they can cut it relatively quickly. Not sure what they are made from. As always, great test and useful results. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm dewalt2x vs Diablo
back in my commercial plumbing days lenox was the blade to go with and we tried a lot of different blade manufactures diablo wasn't around from our supplier back then i have used diablo since and love them and they are not a crazy price again another down to earth video thanks PS never thought to try cutting fluid with a blade wonder how that would perform or last
Thank you! I should test cutting fluid with these blades.
I'm looking at these vids. You have use the same TPI for each name brand. I use 6/24 for thin wall conduit and 6/18 for heavy wall. Those blades are way to long for the stock used. Even in your video one can sée that the proper angle makes all the difference.
Jesus christ, 2 inches and 59 128th of an inch, how can you survive with reading measurements like this? 😭😭😭
Your videos are always top notch, well controlled, and insightful. It is refreshing in a world of click bait. Keep it up man!!!
Thank you very much!
In a future video u should use VP TORQ DX racing diesel fuel and compare viscosity and power and see how well it burns to normal diesel fuel, love your videos 👍
Great video idea! Thank you
Gonna be adding some Diablo blades to the shop after watching this one. Thanks for posting, and you & your family have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 👍👍
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
Paint removal isn't a good indicator of damage. Functionally, no one cares if the paint is on there. If one brand uses higher quality paint, or thinner paint, that would appear better, but have nothing to do with what I actually are about: Blade Life and Removal Rate. Also, the amount of, I'm not sure what the term is but how much the teeth are splayed outwards (making the kerf wider than the spine) would also make the paint survive better, but again, higher kerf isn't desireable nor is paint survivability.
Also, doesn't matter, but you could add light switch and and end stop to your jig. That way, like a metal bandsaw, it turns itself off when it drops down. Up to you, but, might be a convenience if you're going to use this dipping jig in the future.
Great point on the paint. I believe we will see how paint qualities impact chip removal and blade speed (paint goo) on the demolition blades. We'll see.
An early one! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too.
Given that it's about the right time of year... I've got an idea for a test: What method works best to keep wet snow from sticking to a shovel or snow blower? Car wax? WD-40? Cooking spray? etc.
Thanks for the video idea!
Hey happy Thanksgiving. I really appreciate your videos even the little bit silly videos and think you are cool as heck. I tell others about you too. So don't get offended by my comments that heckle you or poke fun at the video. Just having a little fun and letting you know I watched. Lol. Your product comparison videos have been very helpful! Maybe I didn't need to know if my engine will run on honey....but it was entertaining. If you need help coming up with video ideas let me know. Thanks!
Thank you very much and hope you had a great Thanksgiving too.
How about a test on some of the top consumer utility blades. Irwin, Kobalt, Milwaukee and Stanley. Please and thank you, for your videos. :)
Great video idea! Thank you
Your channel is great. I know these vids take a ton of work.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm No problem dropped you a sub and a question on another vid for a test if you were interested.
Really enjoy and appreciate all of the hard work and money you put into your videos. Very informational stuff. Because of you, you really save a lot of people time and money wasted on bogus products. Ty again!
Thank you!
now this was awesome,.. I have used a lot of bed frame steel to build projects with over the years and can tell you it is indeed very hard stuff. I have killed many of blades and grinder disc/cut-off wheel in those days. Thank you, looking forward to the other parts.
Thank you!
Test the cheapest drill bits you can find on ebay/amazon/alliexpress to see how bad they compare to original high quality brands.
Great video idea!
Spyder brand might need to be added to this test.
8-in 10/14-TPI Wood/Metal Cutting Reciprocating Saw Blade www.lowes.com/pd/Spyder-8-in-10-14-TPI-Wood-Metal-Cutting-Reciprocating-Saw-Blade/50191541
Great test idea. Thank you
Really like video. But on This one you didn't say the prices of the blades to see if the extra price was worth it.
Most common problem I have on job with blades we use is they fold and bind when on the slightest of a angle. That's the biggest reason we replace them so often. Test their durability for binding! I would suggest putting a few pounds on the end of the blade to show how much the blade curves.
Great recommendation!
Iv been waiting to see this with lennox so bad lol THANK YOU
Thank you. Lenox will be tested in episodes 2-4 too.
The Devil, ,, you say....
Now we know...
Thank you sir...😆😆😆
Thank you
well I'M impressed. but as a high user of saw-all blades no torch...no plasma cutter .......one attains to MAKE them LAST what IVE LEARNED THE ONES YOU NAMED ARE THE BEST, BUT IVE NOTICED IS HOW TO USE THEM TO CUT THE LONGEST.....IVE TRIED THE DIFFERENT SPEEDS I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 36 DUAL BATT. MAKITA....CAREFUL IT'S A BEAST....BUT ITS THE SPEED IT CUTS ABOVE BOOG...IVE BEEN AMAZED HOW MANY FEET ON THINGS I'VE CUT UP...... GUARANTEED FULL THROTTLE BLADE BURN UP....PERIOD....BUT MAYBE YOU CAN DO SOME VERTICAL CUTTING IN A DOWNWARD MOTION ON THICK SHEET METAL, ABOUT .080. AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED IS LET THE BLADE CUT
I CANT imagine PUSHING with a 30 LBS...down force...
Great points. Thank you
Have you done a video on pipe cutters? Would be interested to see testing for pipe cutters for copper at fixed diameter and those that adjust sizes.
Since I cut those pipes frequently..I'll be buying Diablo...formerly lennox...warrior brand is junk...they bend far too easy as well
Thank you
Can you test Automotive Bolts:
▪︎ Grade 10.9 or SAE Grade 8.
▪︎ Hex Flange Head Bolt
▪︎ Partial Thread with solid shaft.
▪︎ Coarse Thread
▪︎ M12x1.75x80mm, M12x1.5x70
▪︎ M14x1.5x70mm
I have to cut Bolts off in Missouri on basically every suspension bolt. If you can do this it would be very appreciated!
Test cheap Amazon metal blades with 18-24 TPI and OEM Ryobi/fake Ryobi blades.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nice! Interestingly, I've had reasonable luck with Warrior bi-metal...but I'll admit...I was cutting some pretty soft steel! Another excellent video. :)
Thank you!
I use Diablo 12 inch 80TPI finish blade and a 7.25 60TPI and I recommend them for woodwork. Unless you can afford Tenyru, get Diablo.
Great recommendation!
Confirmed what I already knew Diablo blades are the cream of the crop. Please try using lubricant to cool the blades on the hard material to see what difference it makes.
Great recommendation. Thank you
Great test. Clear results. I REALLY REALLY like your new close-ups eg. saw teeth. Lighting of them was perfect, and white background. Amazing! I couldn't ever see teeth that well, even with a magnifier. :)
Thank you very much for the positive comment.
Great video as always. Good multi-part series. Have a nice Thanksgiving!
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family too.
