good value . good for soft wood. dont hit a nail or screw,-teeth disappear!
Brilliant product and fast delivery ordering more especially at the price
Used blade to remove a 75x75mm rotten wood lintel without any problems. Used again recently to remove a window sill and blade seems blunt now, so not impressed with longevity.
Right price, does the job, very useful length ( the blades that came with the tool limited it's use ) seems to be good quality not worn out yet.
Same experience as another reviwer, blade fell apart at the welded joint after 5 mins of use. Returned it for another and that lasted 20 mins. Straight in the bin this time and won't be buying this brand again.
Used to cut oak door stiles, made first cut with normal wood blade then used this to get the extra depth, did the job fine but only made the two cuts to remove damaged cill but went through the oak ok
Seemed fine, some moans about smart blades but I find them ok, multi cutter blades seem to go at a hell of a rate for the price whatever you buy, I got some bosch recently and wasn’t blown away, I don’t find the curved set on the teeth is a game changer, I have to say I think it’s like knife blades, you’re better using cheaper ones and changing more often and having them sharp than using a very pricey one dull/longer to justify the expense, do bosch last many times longer/cut better?? I don’t find it the case! And doing renovation mostly you can easily bump into a screw or the concrete and that’s any blade wrecked. I bought this for a deep one off cut I had to make, I think I got it as the only one in stock, my personal favourite are dewalt I think, they seem to have the right balance in price and durability but it wasn’t available for collect. I wouldn’t recommend getting this type of long plunge as it will do “shallow and deep cuts” because longer blades to me seem more difficult to control as they thrash about more, I’ve not needed this length before/very specific. Go as short as you can for the job/use a segment blade for as much as you can and finish with a plunge when cuts established?? as again segment offers smoother ride/accuracy, of course don’t push the blade or machine, sling them or keep for plaster when they smoke. I just use a basic green bosch cutter currently it’s lasted years bearing in mind the suggestions above, not sure I’ll be going star lock when it dies..availability of blades/lack of comparability a concern there.
I needed a blade with a longer-tha-normal "reach" to get at a 110mm plastic drain pipe (serving as an air vent) located in a very difficult position. A normal panel saw (usually the most appropriate saw was out the question as was a hacksaw du to restricted access so I resorted to a longer-than normal blade: in this case a Smart blade which proved to be perfect for this particular job.
Did the job decent blade for the money.
Cuts through wood windows very well, but avoid brick and cement, each blade good for 2 windows with about 6-8 through cuts each window with the odd touch down on to cement.
Needed to cut through ceiling timber to install loft hatch. This was perfect for the job.
Good blade deep cut and available in honiton
This didnt even last one cut in soft timber before the welds snapped on it. Dont waste your money. Not even worth 1 star rating.
I bought two of these blades for cutting deep in to softwood. There is a problem with the painted surface of the blades that cause friction with the sawdust and causes burning of the wood and sawdust. They are sharp but the painted surface let them down, best to get non painted ones
