For the Rotozip saw: What blade should I use for sheetrock? The thinner the better for less dust. This metal cutting blade is thin and cheap. Thanks!

The "score and snap method" is by far the best way to cut drywall. If you are cutting curves, Rotozip makes shearing bits (look like wide-spiral drill bits). This is actually the main use for thee Rotozip tool. I imagine using cutting discs as being difficult. If you are attempting to trim 2 inches off the bottom of already-hung drywall then go with the score and snap method. I dont think you will be satisfied with cutting wheels. Good luck!

I agree with high speed good blade for clean cut. I like thin kerf marathon blade. It's a question with many variables...I'm a cabinet maker/finish carpenter. Maybe a little more torque for heavy beam cuts could be nice. But my Skil saw keeps me happy everywhere I go...

I typically cut mild steel. However, I have cut welds with no apparent ill effect ... certainly no "thrown" teeth or anything similar. I might add that I've been using the original blade for almost two years now, despite having bought a "back-up" blade with the initial purchase. It's proving the Timex-watch of metal saws, if you're old enough to remember those commercials.

my kit came with a masonry blade, okayto use, but i would get the homedepot tile saw, the cheap one, for cutting multiple tile

Oshlun makes some 210mm and 30mm arbor blades. They are the same size of Festool TS75 blade at less than half the price. I used Oshlun blade on my table saw and they are pretty good for the price.

This will cut tile, if you use a diamond saw blade, but you are right in considering the wet tile saw, that's what I used in Phoenix. If you want to use it for more than one type of cutting, than this is the tool for you, but if you're just going to cut tile with it, than get a wet saw... Stephen

This is a good cut off saw.for cutting cross grain. I think for doing contour work on fine grain wood a good quality rasp might offer more benefits.

Any wood cutting blade would work. The more teeth a blade has , the less ripout there is. This mainly applies to wood but I imagine it would be the same with the foam backed trim. Get a 50 or 60 tpi blade

I have purchased blades from Grizzly as well as online. A word of advise,don't get the least expensive blades you can find. They don't hold up and have a tendency to bounce a lot.

I haven't used it much, but it is small. Probably best suited for thicknesses of one or two pieces of stained glass stacked and cutting intricate shapes. Might be faster than all the cuts necessary with a regular hand held cutter. Other than that my suggestion would be a larger type wet saw with rotary diamond blade...maybe even industrial size with a 10 inch blade. Probably would be faster, and blade last much longer. Just my opinion though. best regards

The blade seems to be a wave-set hacksaw type edge, presumably with teeth made of high carbon or "high speed" steel. I've learned through costly experience that even if the teeth are the much harder material called tungsten carbide (highly unlikely here), they will be destroyed almost instantly by even the softer grades of ceramic tile.The best reliable way to saw ceramic tile is with a diamond grit blade or bur. Diamond blades are readily available at about $30 to fit common inexpensive 4-1/2 inch high speed angle grinders. Small diamond-grit burs to fit Dremel or RotoZip type tools are far less expensive and allow finer control of the cut but they cut much slower and don't last nearly as long. Whatever you do, be SURE to protect your lungs from the tile dust to minimize chances of acquiring the deadly disease called silicosis.

Anyone have any idea of the metal allows used in the unit? Of course you don't mind so much what the main shaft is made up, but I'm curious what the blade itself is make of..

Depends on what you are cutting. Any standard reciprocating saw blades will work in this Bosch unit, you don't have to spend a ton of money. Again, it really depends on what your are cutting and the type of cut desired. Good luck.

Serious-but-probably-dumb question: I have a good quality Dremel tool. Why not just use roto bits in the Dremel? Or is it that this tool has far more power?

actually I have used both, I went back to Makita because they seem to stay sharp much longer so I use less blades. The Irwin tools aluminum cutting blade is durable for that type (aluminum) metal.

I used this on tile with an angle grinder for a small number of detail cuts. It cuts through tile very well. I use it on pavers as well. Haven't used this blade in a wet saw though. Good blade for my use.
