DeWalt DW8005 10 x 7/64 x 5/8 General Purpose Metal Chop Saw Wheel

I ordered 2 of these. One was so out of balance I thought it would fly apart on the saw. The other was OK. Thinking there couldnt be anything wrong with it, I didnt use it for 3 months - too late to return it. If you order one of these, try it out!!

Purchased this blade to make 25 cuts thru 2 galvanized pipe. Worked excellent with only minimal wear of the blade. Slow and steady! Had a backup, but not needed. Highly recommend this product.

I have no idea the life of this type of metal-cutting blade; ones with teeth cost 5 times as much. For my needs (cutting down the legs on a metal bed frame) I wasnt concerned about longevity. I figured a DeWalt-labeled product would perform well and this did. Cut through four 2x1x1/8 metal supports like through butter. A little deburring with an old pocketknife and the job was done.

Cut through the axle shafts I needed to shorten with no problems.

I replaced an unknown brand disc that I paid around $20 locally with this. It has already lasted longer than the more expensive disc. Ive made probably 6 cuts through 5/16 - 5 steel tube and probably 10 cuts through 3/8 x 8 steel bar. I could probably make all of these cuts again with the same disc. Should be noted that Im using a wood chop saw and Im not very delicate when I cut as Im pretty impatient.

A good value for cutting metal

Used this blade to cut 1.5 X 1.5 square hole stock. Only needed to make four cuts in total. Made two cuts without an issue, but the other two cuts were brutal for some reason. The blade just struggled and merely smoked. Eventually, I got through on the last two cuts. Plenty of life left in the blade for cutting, but seemly fell short of expectations.

First time using one of these. Glad I tried it. Cut several pieces of 1.5 metal square tubing and cut 60 1/4 thick x 3 wide X 3.5 long aluminum flat stock. cuts a lot lot lot quicker than chop saw blades and leaves a much cleaner edge. Extremely happy with purchase. When I need another one I will purchase again.

The blade I received has a lot of runout which prevents the blade from cutting straight. Probably a QC issue, but the one I received was unusable.
