 Great for the first few cuts, but then . . . . |
| The first time I put these blades in my BOSCH jig saw, I thought how wonderful it was that BOSCH had created a blade that cut quickly, cleanly and slightly filed simulateously. Well, they do but they really only " file " the cut the first few cuts depending on the hardness of metal. I was cutting 1/8" mild ferrous steel and was amazed initially, then just pleased. My opinion is that if you have to make a few* good clean cuts the first time, and can't file/grind or just dont have the time or desire to do so, this is great choice. However, I feel for less money the standard BOSCH metal cutting blades cut just as well, and last a little longer.So these would be a five, if the abrasive edge coating held up a bit longer. |
 Super Blades for a Super Saw! |
| I used one of these blades in my 1587AVSP while I was modifying the dash of my '83 Toyota Pickup to accept a new stereo. It cut nice and clean - no filing was necessary. It was also very easy to control while making the cuts. I had to "run the edge" of one side to make the hole about a blade width wider - no problem. I even had to saw through a thicker frame member behind the dash, basically freehand, nowhere to rest the baseplate of the saw. I just hit the piece with the blade at full speed and went right through it, just where I marked it. These are highly recommended, especially if you run them in the Bosch saw! |
