7 1/4" Demolition Circular Saw Blade?


I am in need of a 7 1/4" circular saw blade that I can use to cut off the plywood and shingles from an existing roof. I have about 10 old blades I will use up in this endeavor first...but I was wondering if there is a specific DEMO blade out there? If not, how about one of you guys invent one...that's what we American's do...invent chit to make life easier.

We usually use old blades too. Worm drive saw works well for this as it doesn't get bogged down. Bought some skil demo blades off ebay a while back for like 2 bucks apiece and they did work well but haven't seen them anywhere since. They had like 12 teeth and each tooth was very square shape.

Dewalt 18T blade, works pretty d@mn good - I prefer to use it on my old worm drive saw that I don't care about

I use the dewalt blades for demo. Even when they get really hot they stay pretty straight and don't warp. They sure stink for anything else though.

I used to get nail cutting blades but my supplier is out of them. The blades I used to buy had big carbide teeth but they were raked back at an angle. Last one I got was an Oldham.
