Yesterday I ordered 1/2 gross of FD-UR blades
Sizes: 1dz #3,
2dz #5,
2dz #7
1dz #9
There going to take a few days to receive, So I went to HD to see what they carry and they only have Ryobi blades.
so I bought a pack just see who they would do.. i was soo disappointed. I had a feeling that they wouldn't do so hot anyways.. They cost about $13.00 for 3dz.
I put one (skip tooth 11.5 TPI) on the 788 and grabbed a piece of scrap 3/4" pine just to see how it would do..
and It struggled to cut it.
for the heck of it I grabbed a 1/2" piece of Red Oak. and the blade didn't even wanna penetrate it at all without a struggle..
How long do the blades typically last? I know that there are a lot of variables.
but lets say cutting 1/2" maple.. would it be 1 blade per small project pattern?
