Diablo Demo Demon Framing/Demolition Saw Blade - 7-1/4" x 24-Tooth | With Perma-Shield Coating - Dura-Blend Carbide - D0724DA

I bought a used 14x40 lathe and the crate it was shipped in was built like Fort Knox. It was stapled with a construction stapler, and salvaging the lumber really wasn't possible. I installed this blade on a M18 Milwaukee saw with an M18 Forged battery, and it cut through OSB, staples, and 2x4's like a hot knife through butter. I couldn't have asked for a better blade to make quick work of that pile of crate I had to cut up to discard.After that job I was figuring the blade wouldn't be worth much, but I looked at the teeth and all are perfect. It cut as good on the last cut as it did on the first cut, so I'm impressed. If you need to break down some wood with nails/screws/staples, or saw into a structure, this blade is pretty dang awesome.

Amazingly sharp and stable.

Cuts thru everything, ok maybe not steel bolts but old nail filled decking.

So, if for some strange reason you find yourself in the same situation as myself (needing to rip railroad ties in half) This is the best blade for the job. However, WITH THAT SAID... walk away from that project.The Demo-Demon blade did a much better job on the ties than any other blade that I used, but the project was too much for any blade to handle. The blade deserves a 5-star rating because its function and longevity stood up to what I was throwing at it much better than any other brand/model of blade that I used.For perspective, the blade lasted for only 2 rips in 9' railroad ties. I didn't hit any stakes, nails, pins, etc. Its just the nature of the tar and creosote mixed with the pitch, sand and grit that just destroys blades. I wasn't able to get any other blade to last more than ripping 1 tie.For those wondering, yes I wore protection while cutting the ties, hat, mask, long sleeves, eye protection, ear protection, etc.

The other reviews are more or less correct.I got this based on a couple of youtube videos recommending using a demo blade (this one specifically) to speed the clean disassembly of pallets.The first few cuts were like butter. Four cuts before I started losing the carbide teeth. By the fifth cut many were gone and the blade stopped cutting. I suspect it might have been a speeds and feeds thing and that I was trying to cut too fast for the carbide tips to handle cutting through the nails. Or perhaps someone used a drywall screw or something equally dumb. In any event, the carbide tips of the blades broke off and the blade stopped being able to cut.I'm going to buy another one and pay more attention to how fast I cut and see if that makes a difference in the blade lasting. Even if it does, it seems like the claim that this blade can cut through nails leaves the wrong impression (and thus isn't really a reasonable one to make): true, it can cut through nails, but it's not going to last very long if that is what you're going to do with it.Hopefully there is another blade out there that can cut wood and nails and not get worn out so fast (or at all.) The search continues.

Great blade. Smooth cutting, easy even with heavy timber.Good price, will buy more of them for all my saws.

great product. Used it to take down a wooden shed. cut well through roofing shingles and nails, as well as all framing, sheathing and nails. Way faster than using my reciprocating saw, though that tool was still necessary as well.

Awesome cutting blade for reclaimed lumber. Does not dull. Wished I had known about them years ago. Would definitely buy again!

Muito bom

Absolutely annihilated a demo project, made life a lot easier.

I’ve had multiple contractors use my saw and say it’s one of the smoothest cutting blades they’ve used. This is after a couple months of cutting boards and just running it through nails/metal.Rips through anything like that like it is butter.Nothing bad to say, get this blade, it rips.

Great purchase. Was taking out old flooring with nails aplenty and this thing just ate through them. It is a demo demon indeed.

great product. thanks
