[Shop-talk] Sawzall blades

[Pat Horne]

Nick,

I have used these blades on lumber and they work fine. A few points though.

Since you are looking at a set of blades, are you going to need them in 
the future, or is this about all you plan on cutting? It will be cheaper 
to just buy a couple blades individually.

When I cut this kind of material I use a 8 " or 12" blade, something 
that is not in the set. You may not want to or not be able to  get the 
saw right against the root.

If you find that the saw gets stuck, you can always cut out a notch like 
you would with an axe to give you more clearance.

Last time I pulled a 12" stump we cut as many of the roots as possible, 
then called a wrecker to pull the stump out. It had a large tap root 
that we couldn't get to with any saw or axe.

Peace,
Pat
