Blade options for Rage 3.?

admin

..Hey guys. Got the Rage 3 in and so far I'm lovin it.. But no piece of gear is beyond my occasional schtoopidity. I tried to slow cut some SS piano hinge in it and it grabbed. Ripped a few of the teeth off. I hear a good sharpening service can replace them easily enough but I still wanted to know what options I had on replacement blades. Seems the arbor is a bastard size as I recall. ..Thanks for any useful input..   d:^)  Schneeks..ESAB 161 LTSCommunicate & adapt, diggit.?ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

Reply:Scheeky,Can't help much with the Evolution blades since I have never used that saw.  I'd check out there website.  Think they offer a range of blades for that saw.Just an "after the fact" tip.  You'll find that not many "tooth blades" available for your circular type saws (not including band saws here) are really suitable for cutting thin gauge SS.For this type material (piano hinges) I'll either use an abrasive chop saw or use a 4 1/2" grinder with a cutoff blade.  For SS tubing I do not use my Porter Cable dry cut saw.  I use either the abrasive chop saw, a grinder with at cut off wheel, a bandsaw, or a tubing cutter.Syncro 250 DX Dynasty 200 DXMM 251 w/30A SG XMT 304 w/714 Feeder & Optima PulserHH187Dialarc 250 AC/DCHypertherm PM 1250Smith, Harris, Victor O/ASmith and Thermco Gas MixersAccess to a full fab shop with CNC Plasma, Water Jet, etc.
