Oshlun Professional Grade Saw Blades

I bought the WEN track saw and was fairly impressed overall. The stock blade was horrible. I swapped it with this blade and man what a difference. I broke down a sheet of 3/4" birch and the cuts were very smooth with very little splintering. Very happy with this purchase.

I have two sets of calipers: this one and a digital electronic caliper by iGaging that reads in fractions, decimals, and metric. If I really need to dial in a measurement precisely, I use the iGaging. But 98% of the time the Oshlun is my go-to! It's the one I carry with me in my pocket, my tool bag, or even when I go to the store and need to measure a board or a bolt. It's so much easier to intuit the dimension of an object when I'm seeing a visual representation of where that dimension lies on the fractional "clock face." So many times when I use the other one - the digitial one - it will give me an answer of, say, 21/64ths and then I have to stop and spend two minutes doing math in my head and figuring out what that precise number means in practical terms. As a woodworker, I technically work to the nearest 32nd, but I THINK in terms of 16ths and 16ths "strong" or "weak". The Oshlun gives me that knowledge at a glance, without mental math and without hesitation. A machinist may need an instrument that can give them accuracy to the thousands of an inch, but for the work I do, the Oshlun Fractional Dial Caliper is the perfect tool for measuring when I need something more precise than my tape measure, alone. Highly recommended.

I was searching for a cheap blade for my Makita battery saw when I found this one that fits the Festool. Turns out to be perfect for the job. Not only does the blade cut just fine, but I hooked up the cyclone dust collection / vacuum and didn't have to breathe cement dust. Cutting the fiber cement didn't really do anything bad to the saw like I thought it might. Good blade but even better if you have the stuff to suck up the dust.

I'm an industrial electrician that uses M12 for my everyday tools. I bought an M12 Fuel Circular Saw 2530-20 specifically because I wanted to try to cut metal with it. The Milwaukee blade is half the price of the saw, so I wanted to try something less expensive.

This thing cuts like butter! Cable Tray, Strut, DIN rail, 3/8 mild steel plate, you name it. I'm VERY happy. I've done quite a few cuts and it doesn't seem to be slowing down, but I picked up a standby blade for when I finally bite off more than I can chew.

Wear a FACE SHIELD with this thing, she throws shrapnel like no other. I was only wearing safety glasses and a piece of metal bounced off my cheek, hit the glasses and then hit my eyeball. Had to go to the optometrist and everything, I had a burn and needed to take eyedrops for a week, luckily my vision came back.

I've been using it for a while on my old radial saw. I cannot imagine not having it. It is so dead-on accurate I can cut a piece of MDF that is wider than my blade travel by simply making one cut and then flipping the piece over and lining up the edge for a second cut in the opposite direction of travel. It is bright enough for the majoritiy of my cuts - but if it were a bit brighter I'd give it six stars!
NOTES:
Based on the one I'm using, reviews describing it as "out of balance" seem nonsensical.
It's ready to go out of the package. The included batteries are spares.
I used a short piece of stiff wire (brazing rod) to line up the laser hole between two teeth on my blade and it worked perfectly on the first try.

I have found this dado blade to be excellent. The price was great, ease of use and setting up is far superior to the HF dado blade I returned after one of the shims jammed on the arbor of my Delta uni-saw and damaged the arbor threads on the 2nd use. That cost me $150.00 to for the purchase of a replacement arbor! Many customers complain that the storage box it comes with is not suitable. It is just a cardboard box. When mine arrived the box was broken on three sides. However the dado blades are very well packaged in foam and arrived with no damage. I simply made my own storage box from 1/2" plywood and utilized the foam packaging to safely store the dado blade.

With all those teeth is makes very smooth cuts. I'm working with red oak at the moment and this blade is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. The cross cuts are very good and I am very satisfied with the results. I've only had it for a couple weeks and so far it's not lost any teeth yet but I'll be keeping an eye on it.

I had been delaying this purchase and finally ordered it. There were several chipped teeth on the first set. Absolutely no problems with return and replacement. Customer service the way it should be. Now, the dado set - A lot of teeth and real blades, not lightweight wings and they cut a FLAT dado with no tear out on the bottom or on the sides of the cut. The dado almost looks like it had been polished. Kinda makes me a little mad that I waited so long to make the purchase. I honestly cannot see how any other brand could make a better cut, regardless of the cost. Buy this one. You will not be sorry. For those that are concerned about the box - Exactly how much wood does a box cut? Besides, it gave me a new project.

The blades can cut either a 1/4" or a 3/8" dado slot depending on the saw blade orientation with each other. There is not indication on the cut where the blades come together, and the top of the cut is absolutely flat. They outperform by regular multi-blade dado set by far. However, they only cut the two sizes, so they are not going to be your go-to blades for all your dado needs. OUCH!! Hint: Wear gloves when handling these blades. They have SHARP edges just EVERYWHERE! I got the blood off of them before they started to rust and I WILL wear Kevlar shop gloves next time I install them on my saw!

I've bought these in the past and they perform well at a fraction of Fein's price. That said, they're not metal cutting like the Feins but they do a good job on wood.

They have performed well when cutting very hard alloy roofing sheets, however, they do not last long on hard alloy. On soft metal I would expect them to last much longer.

We buy these every time we go through them which owning a construction business is at least 4 times a year.
