Chop saw blades
« on: April 11, 2012, 08:55:00 PM »
I have two chop saws set up one for cutting wood and the other for cutting glass and limbs (glass/wood). What blade should I use? I have used a abrasive blade and it works fine just burns the end of my limbs, the wood. Anything else I could use that wont split the glass like a standard wood blade?

There is a 7 1/2" blade made for cutting countertop material like formica the I use, works great. Check out the Feud (spelling) site, or woodcrafters.

Thanks, I also know you can turn a blade backwards for cutting plastics so I may try that too.

I use a belt sander on the excess glass limb tips and it can burn the tips if I leave it in one place too long..20years ago when  I did construction work I would  use a thin plywood blade (8 teeth per inch?) Installed Backwards when cutting vinyl siding, I was told the siding could shatter/break if blade wasnt backwards. I  wonder if a good high tooth count carbide blade wouldwork? I am gonna continue to  use the belt sander  myself
