 Topic: Jig /Sabre Saw Blade ??
Posted: 13 Apr 2022 at 5:54pm |
Why in the world are these blades made more than an inch and a half long ?? There's NO way in H%^#L any saw can cut that accurately with a blade any longer than that   !!

I 'saw' that one was coming...  .
Probably a 'perceived' value / marketing thing. $4 for 4" is ok....$4 for 2" , BAD !
BTW longer blades cut 3" styrofoam fine

That's what i use to trim my trees a cordless reciprocal saw and 6- or 12-inch blades. Of course, I don't care how accurate the cut is as long as the branch comes off.

I have a worn blade that I snapped off at about 1-1/2 " that I use when cutting drywall in demolition work so that I don't end up cutting through electrical cables. I watched my SIL use a Sawsall with a about a 6" long blade for cutting out some drywall when he was renovating one room and ended up having repair the drywall in the adjacent room as well.

 Who would have ever thought about the couch in the other room. Kinda like shooting mice in the house with a 270.
