I purchased this blade to cut some 1/8 angle iron. It's said on the package that it can cut angle iron. but the blade got dull after two cuts. anyone?

I bought this blade to cut 29 guage metal roofing and have cut up to 6 sheets at one time----that was a little much and I thought I had killed the blade---later I used it to cut several single sheets then again to cut 4 at one time----still going strong----it might be the angle iron you cut could be harder steel like that used in bedframes

Yes, same here, I cut some 1/2 inch stainless bar, and it went dull. I think they mean thin sheet metal. I switched to a ceramic blade , the kind that makes sparks and I got good results.

I have used this blade to cut aluminum decking. I understand that it is not to be used for ferrous metal or wood.

Sure. Just set the devise on the table portion and zero it then sick (magneticly) on the blade to deiermine the angle to be cut. It works like a level so I can't say it works setting a miter angle.

I believe it just has more blades. I'm not sure it makes a difference. I just needed a new blade because mine was dull. This one suits my needs.

In my experience with this blade: WITH effort and focus maybe. If it were something you needed to cut quickly as in a life threatening moment, I would say no. I have a feeling mine that I ordered was not fully sharpened though(Bad batch maybe?). So I would definitely look for more reviews.

I use this blade on a Dewalt DW716 miter saw (3800 rpm) to cut 80/20 aluminum. I've cut mostly 15 series profiles with it and it does an awesome job and gives smooth cuts. I've also cut aluminum angle (1/4x3x3) with it and 1" aluminum bar stock.

I am not an expert on what you are cutting, I cut oak. Just ask yourself, if this blade doesn't cut it, what's the alternative?

I have used it on much larger knives than anyone is saying here. If you take your time, and move it down the blade you only need to get it close to the same depth on blade, (the older model had a groove made it easier) the angle change won't be that significant, probably comparible to the change you get when reaching way out to the tip of blade anyway. This method will give you more control when sharpening a deep curve, and prevent taking of too much (giving a fatter tip edge)

No, it's not like you're honing a fine knife. Just set the correct height for your angle; turn it on and swipe the blade through a couple of times. Just be careful to not heat the blade too much because you'll loose temper and it will dull easily again.

I have used this blade on wood. It makes neat cuts with very fine sawdust. I don't think it is meant for cutting wood exclusively, but it can handle wood cutting along with its prime material, aluminum.

It's really meant for knives with 15 degree angle. Most regular knives are sharpened to a larger angle. I've used it on some "regular knives" with very thin blades and it seems to work.

If going down a number doesn't work then maybe it is dull, and wasn't washer properly. I run a paper towel through mine (no water if possible cause that dulls blade) to clean blade. Mine cut easily the moment I got it, if yours didn't the fault is not yours, but whoever you purchased from.

No, it's for sheet metal. You'd dull the blades very fast if it would cut at all. Get a diamond blade for a circular saw or angle grinder.

depends on the sawblade you use. with the right blade it does cut steel, probably not thicker than 1/8 of an inch. be careful!

I haven't used that particular feature a great deal, but I haven't had any trouble with it. For me, it's been a matter of getting the right angle on what you're trying to cut. Experiment with different angles and grips.

blade does not FEEL sharp although I don't know how sharp it should be. I was disappointed with the results of the first cut - it hardly cut anything and needs cut again after 2 days. At first I thought the blade's height was not close enough to the grass even though I tried all settings. Now I am thinking the problem is with the sharpness. I will take it to a professional and get an opinion.

I am not sure where you can get the replacement blades. Maybe try and Google it with the model number. It just cuts straight and on a 45 degree angle.
