No burrs or sparks with a "Rage saw "dont a hot works permit either

looks very similar to the 18v panasonic we used to use about 10yrs ago, its the tct blade that does the buisiness- we now use 18vmakita repcip saws with the wood/ tct metal blade as the batts interchange with our IWs but for this price think i'm gonna order one to check it out

 

[marra watson]

thats similar to the 1 benchmark had but it was a blue 1, i supose its depending on the blade the amount of **** that flys off the blade get lodza chipping of a wood circular saw so bount to get lodza metal flakes of a metal 1, am quessing a rib saw the best
