They say there are no stupid questions. Well try this one: are these blades intended to cut wood? Wood doesn't cut very well with a diamond blade.

These are not diamond blades, these razor sharp blades and will cut wood. Dremel sells diamond blades that cut wood very well to. They have notches around the blade edge rather than the flat circular blades.

No, diamond blades are not meant to cut wood but these blades (SE SS45HS 5-Piece High Speed Steel Saw Blade with Mandrels) cut wood very well. I am a RC Model Aircraft designer/builder/flyer and I've used these blades to cut all types of woods, plastics, ceramics and fiber glass with no problems at all. Just keep in mind, if you are using a Dremel machine the speed of the machine is important for the different types of materials you will be cutting. Hope this info helps. Ayl

What is it you want to do? Almost any of these knives can make a 1/8th inch cut. Are you carving figrures, reliefs, or woodcuts?? I am msainly a woodcut artist. These tools are fine for all those purposes. Learn to keep them sharp. If you have more questions, email me at nicholascrome@yahoo.com. Or phone 812 339 2245.

The blades are not for sawing steel. I would ask your local home improvement store if they can get steel cutting blades for the saw . I hope this helped.

They are mainly designed for wood, the set has multi tooth assortment. You probably can use for plastic, but these are not metal blades

the real reason is because the edges break and chip like crazy. This is a gallery of 3 of our knives, one new and two we have had for a very long time. No, before anyone asks, they were never sharpened wrong (at least not with any of those terrible carbide sharpeners, only diamond rods.) and while these still cut, they aren't supposed to be serrated like that. http://imgur.com/a/WUzS6

Not necessarily, but not because they're bad. When you first start you will miss often resulting in chipped and bent blades. There are sets which are less expensive without being cheap and are better suited for someone who is learning and going to abuse their blades a bit. One you've dialed it in and are sure it's a hobby for you, then upgrade to a set like this.

Elton, Your saw uses T type blades which these are. They should work well for you.

Don't know. Lowe's Home improvement stores might know. They are sold in some of them, and my local store stupidly stopped. The blades are TERRIFIC.

I use them for my bread lame. Cutting the baguettes. I do not shave with these blades. Sorry.

Yes, but it is not as good on wood as a dedicated wood blade. I primarily cut aluminum with an occasional bit of wood cutting so this blade is best for me.

I think you can use a diamond bit masonary blade that should be able do the job. Take it slow when you are cutting.

They're pretty dull, as they depend more on the sawing action of the serrated "blade" to cut, so I would think they would be safe.

You could but it really isn't ideal. I imagine you'd burn through your blades pretty quick unless you were super careful to make sure they don't torque up against the wood and snap. I might suggest one of the other blades designed to cut wood.

Yeh too bad someone doesnt explain that better huh! I bought this saw last year as a Christmas present for my husband who said he wanted a "chop saw". However, the instructions that came with the saw itself stated that this saw was for cutting "metal" only. We started to return the saw, but my husband now says its one of his best gifts ever, even if it was a mistake. Sorry- the bottom line... not for cutting wood, but you may find more uses for this thing than you think. And no, i do not work for DeWalt.

The edges are dull with only the point being sharp (on throwing knives, the point is what matters), and in order to cut yourself you'd have to try pretty hard, I've dragged the point across my fingers to check for sharpness after a bad miss (make sure the tip didn't chip or anything) and it leaves no mark, but they do stick into wood and such very well.

This particular blade is made for non-ferrous metals and plastic. It's not the correct tooth profile for wood. You can cut wood with it but it does not like it. Use an actual wood profile with a higher tooth count for smoother cuts.

Actually Black and Decker has a set of blades you can buy rather inexpensive that works great. It is a very good deal. Usually if a blade has a lot of teeth it is for metal. Blades for wood usually has less teeth with a wider gap between them.
