Recip. Saw Blades

[D. BELLACH]

I was wondering what some other Departments were using for blade types on Recip. Saws. Re: TPI, metal type for cutting posts -vs- cutting pins or windshields?

Funny you should ask that. I asked the same thing a while back. Check out this thread for the replies I got.

We just replaced our Milwaukee recip blades before last practice, buying 12in blades vs the 9in that we normally use. I found the longer blade difficult to work with especially when cutting the windshield. It was great for the A, B and C posts on the other hand. After practice we discussed the different sizes and concluded that an assortment of sizes was a good idea, depending on the job at hand.
