Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. After getting over how fast we could cut and wiping the wide grins from our faces, we looked at the results a little more objectively.

I have friends who are firefighters and sometimes they will cut an approximate 4' x 4' square vent hole in a residential roof with a gas chainsaw. But be sure to take several breaks to let the saw cool, I nearly burned up a Porter Cable saw by not taking breaks. In the past I have always used a grinder or chop saw with an abrasive blade to cut metal but I was introduced to cold saws about 5 years ago and immediately fell in love with them. To reduce the risk of serious injury and/or damage to your Festool product, always read, understand and follow all warnings and instructions in your Festool product's Instruction Manual. While this looks like an impressive blade for a circular saw, as far as longevity, I would put the segmented wheel up against this in my chop saw any day.I have found a segmented blade, similar design to a diamond concrete blade, for cutting metal with a decent rate of cut and impressive longevity.

Stabilizer vents have been laser cut into the steel blade to reduce both noise and vibration during cutting. exclusive innovation that allows users to cut both mild and stainless steels for 40X longer life versus standard carbide-tipped metal cutting saw blades. I would also like to extend my gratitude for your assistance in providing accurate information about the sizes of the items I purchased. Ideal For: Angle Iron*, Flat Bar*, Channel*, All-thread**, Pipe*** Note: *Mild Steel only - 1/8"-3/8" max.The specially formulated Cermet (Ceramic and Metallic) teeth provide high heat tolerances and increased hardness for superior wear and ultimate cutting life.

Diablo’s specially formulated Cermet (Ceramic and Metallic blend) teeth provide high heat tolerances and increased hardness for superior wear and ultimate cutting life.

The thin-kerf body and advanced laser cut anti-vibration stabilizer vents reduce vibration and noise to allow the blades to quickly shear through metal with ease and accuracy.

For what you are doing I would suggest investing in a good metal detector and cleaning up the wood first, then cutting using good woodworking blades. The ability to cut through both metals and stainless steel eliminates the need for individually dedicated saw blades, offering a one-blade solution for the ultimate metal-cutting performance.
