15 Brands: Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, FLEX, Spyder, Milwaukee, Diablo, Metabo HPT, DeWalt, Craftsman, SKIL, Falkenwald, Irwin, Norske and Mastec. Blades tested for performance ripping 2x4 lumber before and after striking nails. Circular saw blades (Skil saw blades) also compared for performance cutting through oak and ripping an 8 foot pressure treated 4x4. I purchased all the blades to ensure unbiased reviews. So, thank you for supporting the channel.

It's fantastic for clean wood and doing cross cuts all day long for sure. Obviously it won't hold up for demo work and it isn't good for doing long rip cuts, as the thin blade wobbles too much when it starts to heat up. I love Makita tools as far as an overall brand for tools though for sure. Generally, Makita accessories are mostly average

I have an old Skilsaw, and put a new Irwin on it. Like my previous blades, it was a fight with any piece of wood, always bogging down, burnt edges, making small tasks into huge work efforts. So, I go looking at reviews to get a new circular saw and come across this gem. Could it really be the blade. After watching this vid in it's entirety, I decided on a Makita blade. You have saved the day... Man, I can't believe how a simple blade change has made life so much easier. Recently, I've been experimenting with slabbing wood and that blade will cut thru solid wet oak 2" thick like butter. And the unbelievable part is, it hasn't wore out yet, although I expect it to, sooner than later. You must excuse me for the extra long rambling, I just wanted to say thanks for your excellent reviews!

I'm not sure if' you've considered it yet, but I think testing windshield fluid would be a pretty awesome video idea. After smearing bugs across my window last week yet again, I have to wonder if there's a fluid that actually 'cuts though bugs' as the brands claim. I'm not sure if it's because I enjoy the rain repelling formulas or because I only use fluid that stays liquid year round. I know people use plain water in warmer states, i often wonder if it does a whole lot better chemically to remove them. I've seen mixtures of glass cleaner and water as well that probably bridges the gap. I'd imagine bug guts are reletively oily/ fatty and the water content evaporates on the glass pretty quickly from heat and airflow. They may be water soulable oils and the name brand alcohol based fluids might not cut it.

I have pretty much rounded off some blades demoing a roof. Roofing shingles will eat up a saw blade in no time! I always go for a blade that is in the garbage already when I'm doing a project like that. It is definitely going in the garbage after cutting through shingles.

It has multiple missing teeth and it still cuts faster than the brand new dewalt blade i put on my miter.

If you are going to do cross cuts all day through clean wood, especially with a cordless saw, Makita is incredible. However, it is not good for cutting through crap (nails etc as demonstrated) and also, you wouldn't want it for ripping wood, as for long rips, it starts to wobble a lot because it is so thin. I love Makita tools though. I think they are the best bang for your buck by far.

Great video as always, however one thought I think you missed on. Ripping and crosscutting generally take very different blade designs to do well. My guess would be that these saw blades are designed and profiled more towards crosscutting lumber than ripping, as it's the more common cut when framing. I'd be really curious to see if your results would be different if instead of ripping a 1 foot 2x4, you crosscut a 2x12 or lined up multiple boards to get your length of cut.

I wanted to be a believer in Ryobi, but when it came time to honor their warranty on a pressure washer wand that is well known for prematurely failing, they made me jump through so many hoops only to stop responding to my request for a replacement altogether. I won't spend another dime on them. From now on, I'll only go with Flex who have an outstanding reputation for warranty service.

Was about to pull the trigger on a 3 pack of makita blades. Looks like there are several reviews saying they can get hot and warp and then cause kick back and binding. For my use I think they will work fine (7 1/4” cordless miter saw) I don’t see the blade binding up on that. Miter saw is a bit under powered for some things so I’m hoping these blades will help.

@veganpotterthevegan Жыл бұрын

@@ToolsInAction4u none of these are great blades. They're disposable construction grade blades. Good blades are much more expensive. Also, a miter saw version of these blades may not perform the same. Don't buy a blade just because it fits. Buy a blade for a miter saw.
