  1. Like other posters I don't know the brand and like them I'd just purchase them from a hobby store.

    However I have a couple of 'tips' that may be of value.

     

    1) Securely clamp the stock.

    2) The friction of the sides of the saw rubbing against both the outside and insides of the cut really drag the motor down and build the heat up. When I use a hole saw, as soon as the pilot bit comes through I turn the board over and drill from the other side. This minimizes the friction because the cuts aren't as deep.

    3) Because the sawdust has no way to escape it adds difficulty to the cut. I stop often and vacuum out sawdust.

     

    Good luck.

    and #2 makes it easier to get the wheel out without gouging it with a screwdriver.
  2. What specific blades do you use on these?

    pegas ppr478 got about 34 inches of cut out of the blade..... I don't know if that's good or bad but it worked.
  3. Buddy looks like he got the short end of the stick,Throw him another bisket for helping he'll understand that ,good boy!He looks content with the earphone in his ear!

     

    Looks like heavy gauge metal?

    18 ga..... I'd guess it weighs about 20#.
  4. Went down to the shop this morning and decided to snap a quick picture of part of the Bottle tree ranch that seems to have grown up behind the shop.....Every now and then i get the urge to play with a few discarded bottles.....The wife tells me that it can only grow in the back 40 , behind the shop! :);) !

    the one that's a dead curved tree looks really neat, like an alien bug!
