Saw


As in: My new 4-inch carbide-tipped saw blade!

This little sucker rocks! It cuts better and faster than any of my previous saw blades. I finally got the right tool for the job. Ohh soooo nice.


Bonus: It doesn’t stick to aluminum. All of my previous saw blades stuck to the aluminum (for some reason) when I would get 20 to 30 mm into my brick. This was so annoying that I wanted to break up those saw blades into little tiny bits and eat them, just out of spite.

But this 4-inch carbide-tipped saw blade just kicks ass all over the place. The only way that I can stop it is to feed too quickly. And, after cutting straight into a brick of aluminum for 10 or 15 minutes at a depth of about 25 to 30 mm, I can turn off the motor and grab the blade as soon as it stops spinning; it’s cold.


This saw blade just may last me a very long time. I’m very happy with it, and I got it from a nice store called MicroMark:

Their website ain’t the best thing out there, but their catalog is fantastic, they update it at least four or five times a year, they have good customer support, and they have a fantastic selection of really cool tools for the guy working with small stuff (like me).
