bit of a diy tool from what ive seen, they sell them alot over here in the diy stores and look no good for a contractor

If that thing actually works like it did in the video I can see plenty of contractor uses, the first being tear off of a deck where you want to save the frame. I did a search and you can buy just the blade* ($30 at Sears), I don't know if it will fit other saws, if it does it might be worth a try.


*This multipurpose saw blade will cut steel and ferrous metal up to 1/4 in. (6 mm), aluminium, plastic, non ferrous metals, wood and nails. Max RPM 3500. 7-1/4 in. blade. Catalog/Online Exclusive.

it's the blade, not the saw.

It seems awfully slow on wood but fine on the metals. The piece of flooring she cut looked ragged.

I have an old saw I keep for just those purposes. It will amaze you what a regular saw blade will cut. Don't worry about the carbide tips chipping off, they just add weight. I have cut welded wire, wire mesh, sheet metal roofing, nails, aluminum(pocket doors), and plenty more. However, safety glasses are a must for this kind of stuff.

Freud makes a blade under the Diablo line that is meant for cutting steel. 7 1/4 inch, cuts up to 1/4 inch steel, and fits any circular saw.

However, from what I've seen, it doesn't cut nearly as clean as they show their saw cutting in the video, makes a racket, and throws way more sparks than in the video. If it really does perform like they show in the video, then it would put most any steel cutting blade to shame. I think I'd want to get a dedicated saw to run it though, because I bet the metal dust would do a number on the saw, and you wouldn't want to rely on it for all your work.

hitachi with a metal blade does the same thing. Its just a reciprocating saw.
