Who has used a METAL CUTTING circular saw blade ??

[SNOOPY]

What I like about HF stuff is it's cheap enough to experiment with. Hate to end a sentence with a preposition... hope you will forgive me...

Just a reminder, there are no English scholars on this forum. :roflblack:

Dave I will need the 10 inch size, what brand did you use, annnnnnnnnnnnnnd how thick is it ...... I want as THIN a disc as possible .....Thanks .... Mike :thumbup:

Here is the one I use. Dewalt 10x7/64x5/8 blade. Of course you may need a bigger arbor size. You can get them in a 14" also.

That's it! This is what our ACE discs look like. Is this what you guys are calling fiber?

When you orig. said it had RIBS , you were talking about the WEAVE Lines, I thought you meant RIBS - like what corrugated roofing looks like. ...the " wavy " looking stuff ............... Mike :thumbup:

I have used a circular saw blade several times to cut 3/16" sheet. Made cuts up to six feet long with no issues. The blade I use is from Harbor Freight, yes that's right, not a typo. Cost of the blade is about $15.

What kind of blade did you use? Metal or fibre? If metal, what is tooth count?

.. If you decide to use a fibre disc ..... google " Walter " brand , they have some in 10" size that are very, very thin, I'm considering one ...... Mike :thumbup:

No, sorry 'bout that. I was referring to the ribs in the steel sheets typically used for barn siding. It's flat for a few inches in between square, inch-tall ribs, and then there's a teeny rib centered between the big ribs. I know this wouldn't really affect the wear-down speed of the fiber (now I know I'm referring to it correctly!) blade. I still think it's our mega moles snacking on our blades behind our backs.

I dunno ... he looks like he'd require quite a lot of upkeep to me. Groceries, gym membership fees, dentist appointments, anger management classes .....

Pete, I did find a 10" disc that is only .06 thick ....that is 1.5 mm which is extremely thin ....it is made by NORTON ( brand ) .... I can get it locally for $21.00 and unless I can find a better price I think I'm getting this one ............ Mike :thumbup:

Thanks Pete, the one from Amazon is 0.1 thick which is 2.6mm , so I 'm sure it's a different model..... I tried cross-referencing with Norton Md#'s but couldn't ......... The thicker the blade the longer it takes to cut any metal .... Mike :thumbup:
