I would want to see each blade pictured after one (or ten ) cuts but after the same length of use. How long they last is equally important as speed of a small cut
As far as the depth on the blades go I've used them for doing undercuts on door jambs for flooring. I also cut holes in 3/4 plywood for outlets and what not. For me most cuts are under an inch depth. I am more concerned if the blade cuts straight and not veer off like I saw some in this test do. In that case the longer blade might deflect more so I would go shorter. Thank you for the video.
Thats a good point. Its super annoying when the blade does cut straight. It really depends on the application that the blade is being used for. I favor the slightly longer blades because I am often making deeper cuts.
Could the slower blades be from the sawdust not clearing out of the cut? The wood after the cut looks like a lot of sawdust is stuck to the off cut. Since you are doing a 3.5 inch cut I wonder how the times would change if you turn the wood 90 degrees and cut on the 1.5 inch side.
@@contractorscompass I got mine foamed up, and it sits in the back of my pickup. Not a rattle, and not a spec of rust on my tools. Absolutely love pelican for this.
I believe the carbide blades are meant for metal, but can also do wood. There are wood blades that always seem to be longer. That said, the Hercules and Bauer carbide blades are quite good, and also long.
Yeah, they are definitely targeted towards metal heavy cutting. In my experience the Hercules and Bauer blades have not been able to keep up, but I will have to try them again.
@contractorscompass I recommend watching the project farm video on the blades too. It's a little older. I was glad to see the Nitrus tested against others in your video. Diablo is always strong. My Nitrus experience was that the blade is aggressive and very fast on metal, like stainless steel and drywall screws, but lacking in durability.
Definitely other factors to consider. However, I feel like if a blade doesn't cut quickly when it is new then it certainly doesn't get any better with more cuts.
@@contractorscompassTortoise and the hair man. lol Some steel is more durable than others when heat/friction is involved. maybe it cuts fast, but a run to the store because you have to buy more blades could make quite a difference on a job lol. great vid regardles
Yes, this is the site that I bought them from. Link: kaizencasesandinserts.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0_WyBhDMARIsAL1Vz8vMMPty_8ZmDXE0YnfOLKlUjoGURBbNOKxiOJ5drH5gbARGVIkX-NUaAq65EALw_wcB
@@LachskoenigIV Yes, my friend, but then it is not a four word sentence. It's a three word sentence plus a one word sentence. A four word explanation, at best.
Nice comparison:) I think that reason for blades being faster with nails is purely because first run scraped that paint coat off thus showing that fresh and shap metal tooth for second run. Some blades might be painted with quite heavy coat of paint so it will definetly slow down first run:)
Ive been seriously let down by all Milwaukee multi-tool blades, no matter how fancy. I havent tried these, but everytime i use one, its ruined after a few nails, like 3 - 4 nails. Everytime Nowadays i order cheap amazon blades for wood, and they work great, and i use diablo or bosch for nails and screws, etc.
fantastic set of wrenches the box end never slips and they can put up with crazy amounts of torque, these are worth every penny, oh and lifetime warranty
Great video! I’d be curious to see if there are any changes in the results if you used solid wood. Perhaps a test with pine and oak (soft vs hard). On the water test did the plywood let go on any? I’ve had situations where the top layer of the plywood came off not the glue joint. Cool set up for testing
@@contractorscompass - more appreciation than enjoyment, for great effort, extremely well organized AND...something the manufacturers' could learn from! ; -)
Guitar Luthiers recommended Titebond 3 to repair guitars and other wood instruments. It is easy to clean up with water after applying claps to set the project as glue gushes out the cracks under repair. It's all they'll recommend to use. Holds firmly after curing even on broken Headstocks after guitar strings have been restrung and tightened to their tension pressures. It's all I'll use on wood music instruments.
They can also be resharpened. Using a double sided pull through hand held shsrpener. The one with the ceramic sharpener on one side works the best. Like a new blade. If you have a universal saw handle that accepts jigsaw blades they also work well hand held especially for cutting holes in foil back foam insulation. 😊
Great review. I was reading a lot of different reviews on this product but after seeing this I sent and bought it as it looks perfect for sealing my RV and Race Trailer. Looks like it might do well on household sealing as well. Thank you.
I never really thought there was a huge difference in blades until I was using a Harbor Freight metal reciprocating saw blade to cut the bolts holding my sway bar bushings on my truck. I looked at that blade a minute in and it had no teeth left and hardly scratched the bolt. Went to Home Depot, bought Diablo metal cutting blades and it took 10 seconds to go through the bolt and the blade looked untouched afterward. I'll never buy cheap blades again. 1 Diablo blade is worth a case of those cheap ones because you'll need all of them.
The difference between a quality blade and a cheap blade is crazy. When you really need your blade to preform it is so so worth it to have spent the money on good quality blades.
