i bought a 700mm carbide blade and i am sure it was 120 +vat but boy did it cut well fastest thing I've ever used for cutting timber

I have two ordinary and one tipped blade for my Posch machine. I only use the tipped one now as it stays sharp for so much longer, like 50 tons worth of cutting. Some timber comes with a lot of sand and this takes the edge off. I am nearly at the 50 ton mark now and it is starting to find some of the bigger lumps a little challenging.

 

The ordinary blades are only for when the tipped one is in for a sharpen as this takes a week. I cut enough to last but sometimes things can get behind so it is nice to have back up.

I think I will be visiting the saw doctor before cutting my winters supply. The last visit was three years ago!
