The title and the description contradict each other. Can you tell me if this is meant to cut green wood or dry wood?

this model has medium teeth, it is not as good on green or dry wood as a large tooth or small tooth saw would be, however it is more than acceptable on both.... its kind of a middle of the road do it all saw

The blade that came with my saw, if it is the same as they are currently shipping, is made to cut green wood. It will cut dry wood as well. As a matter of fact, it is a great compromise for both woods. I've had no problems with soft wood, hard wood, dry, or straight off the tree.

Green wood.....I tried cutting dry wood and it took forever, went through green wood like nothing.

From the Bahco website: "Type 23 blade for green wood."Please note that the picture itself is also wrong, it shows a straight-toothed "peg" blade which would actually be used for dry wood. The 10-30-23 (this model) actually uses a "raker" blade. You can see the actual saw here: https://www.bahcostore.com/images/xlarge/10-30-23.jpg

My experience has it working much better on green wood - takes a longer time to cut through dry wood.

It will definitely mulch and chop up dry leaves. I tried some slightly wet leaves and it worked so so depending on how wet and heavy the leaves were. I trimmed my shrubs and tried to suck up and mulch the clippings. If the clippings were short it worked just fine, even tough they were still green. The bigger twigs with sticks and leaves would get sucked up but NOT mulched and eventually plugged the input. Thus I would like to modify / sharpen the blades to cut up small fresh cut and still green shrub clippings. I will need to research this option further.

yes but no. i believe this tool is made for to work with finished wood, not raw,

I'm not sure I understand. When I purchased the dry blade assembly, I ended up returning it, because it's cheaper to buy the whole dry blade canister, blade, base and all.

No it is meant to cut wood. I would try a hacksaw with a metal cutting blade.

I don't know what that is... All I know is that this fit my saw. It's good for branches, but is slow to cut a log.

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.

When I used mine the leaves were not wet. My guess is that it will not be a good idea for a lot of really wet leaves. Also, there is a note on page 16 of the Owner's Manual that says the machine is designed for dry material only and do not use it for green material.

It has really fine teeth so technically it would be a rip saw but can be used for both. It is for very fine curf cuts and I found it worked well when building the wooden frame of my kayak.

cutter is not recommended for HPL or solid wood. Works well on regular laminate and some engineered wood.

The offer you see might be slightly different from the one I bought more than 1 year ago. This offer is cheaper and it comes with the blade you see in the picture, used mainly for metal as in the picture, and possibly a blade for cutting wood, it has longer teeth and cuts wood much better than the one in the picture. Other accessories are included which will help using the tool straight out of the box, and as you use it you will find out what you will need. There are also blades from other brands that work with this tool, some with adapters and some without. Some might cost less than B&D depending on sales and promotions in local stores. Check with Lowes, Home Depot, and other stores in your area. I would buy this as it is, it is a good tool and has been worth the money!

Appreciate an answer but....The question is and was, "Does the blade scallop the wood at entry?" Apparently the narrower "kerf" blades have a propensity for this problem. Especially if they are not metal.

This is not the saw for that at all. The limiting factor is really the 1/3hp - not the cutting capacity. Green wood is very difficult on a machine. At a minimum you want a 1hp saw like the craftsman BAS350, Rikon 10-321, or the Grizzly G0555

This is more of a light craft wire cutter. For wood you would probably need something a bit bigger, of course it depends on the wood you are cutting but this is for fine craft work.

Bahco makes different blades depending on what type of wood you are cutting; green wood, dry wood, etc. What are you cutting?

You can use it like a wet saw but it is for dry sawing only. You will need to go slowly and not let the blade overheat.

I think it would be fine. It stays locked in whichever cutting position you put it in, vs the green one that doesn't, which makes it ideal for lots of cutting. The blade holds up really well, but if you are cutting that many boxes a day, I would have a few extra blades on hand. The blades are reversable, which makes for 1 blade lasting quite awhile. I LOVE this blade! And I do use it quite a bit.
