Having had a P-C dry cut saw in use in our shop (a professional scene shop) for 3 yrs, I've been very pleased with the tool, but less than pleased with the durability of the blades. Between the Stock Porter Cable blade, and other blades we've used from Frued, Dewalt and Milwaukee, this one seem to have had the best blade life and smoothest cut of any of the above. Since some brands may be optimized to cutting different weights and profile shapes of steel stock, I will let you know that the bulk of the work this saw does is 1" to 2" square or rectangular tube with wall thicknesses from .065" to .083". It does get occasional use cutting .25" to .5" thick flat stock, piper, unistrut, and heavy wall tubing as well.
I found it remarkable that this was also one of the cheaper blades available for this saw. At the moment I'm writing this review, they are on sale and very cheap, i hope this does not mean they are about to be discontinued!.Get more detail about Hitachi 320056 14-Inch 80-Tooth TCG Carbide Dry Cut Metal Blade with 1-Inch Arbor.
