bowers25 Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Just had some time to try out the new FD blades that were delivered a few weeks ago.........Holy Cow!!!......what a huge difference than the blades from the big box store, that I was using. The first turn I made with the FD, the blade felt like it made a hard quick turn / cut all by itself........it turned fast!!!! At times it felt as if the blade was pulling the wood into it all by itself. I really, really like the FD blades. 3Dface, lawson56, OCtoolguy and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 You didn't know they were self propelled?. Seriously though, the blades you get at the big box store are crap! FD blades are great as are Olson and Pegas blades. You will read over and over again, don't use the blades that come with a new saw and the ones you can get at the big box stores like Bosch or Vermont America.

stoney Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Skip you also might also like the Pegas Modified Geometry blades for thick hardwoods. Quite a few here have tried them and really like them me included. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Been using them myself for more years than I care to mention. And your right, a giant leap ahead of the big box blades. Chris SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
