Reciprocating wood saw blades (30 Viewers)

[pjay]

Not sure if this is in the right place?

I have a load of fence posts i'd like to cut down roughly for firewood, can anyone recommend a good coarse wood blade for the job please, its for a ryobi recip saw.
Theres alot of cheap crap out there but i want a blade that will last more than a couple of cuts.

Cheep hand held circular saw with tungsten blade, cut a lot quicker than reciprocating.

Thanks but haven't got one of those.

Not the best tool a chain saw would be a lot quicker and easier but pay a bit more and buy Bosch blades Toolstation or s.fix

i get mine from screwfix (Bosch), depending on the type of wood - usually in a pack of five, but i tend to lose the bloody rest of the pack ..... so i bought a better quality single blade but its more expensive than buying a pack ....

I thought parkside was budget kit? Are their blades good?

they are also for green wood, not construction timber - which your fence posts will be, though not sure it will make any difference, PLUS you have to hope that your local Aldi have them in though i think you can get them from Amazon ?

Won't fence posts be full of dodgy chemicals. Not really suitable for firewood?

 

[pjay]

Nah, they burn well once seasoned

When we lived in a little hamlet right on the sea shore, there was an old guy in one of the cottages who would collect driftwood for his fire. With the longer pieces he would stick one end in the fire and rest the other end on a stool and just keep moving it closer as it was consumed !

But as said & like railway sleepers, they are full of chemicals that will make you think you have the flu if burnt on an open fire.Sealed woodburner is ok

Been burning them for yonks with no problems. Its a proper sealed wood burner

Sealed may be ok for you. What about any neighbours?

 

[pjay]

The neighbours burn it too, so anyway, back on topic.....

When I want quality blades I always buy Bosch. Never been disappointed yet.

I don't have a recip saw so can't comment directly on that. But hole saws, circular saws, jigsaw and multitool bits I have always found Bosch to be excellent value.

Another vote for Bosch blades I have tried lots of different blades over the years and the Bosch are by far the best. You could try a bow saw with a Sandvik blade probably better than a reciprocating saw
