Oshlun SBF-080048 8-Inch 48 Tooth TCG Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor (Diamond Knockout) for Mild Steel and Ferrous Metals

I bought 2 of these blades for roughly the price of a Freud Diablo or a Lennox to try them out. In the last year I have probably used 20 blades of various manufacturers. In my opinion, the Freud is at the top, but is roughly $50/blade. I cut quite a bit of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and even 1-in plate with a Milwaukee metal cutting saw. The first Oshlun blade cut nicely for the first bit of action, but then shed a tooth right in the middle of a cut without any change in pressure or speed. This quickly degraded into a useless blade. I thought I got exactly what I paid for. However, the second blade is holding up nicely and has produced a lot of chips. Thus, the jury is still out. I'm close to getting the same life out of the 2nd blade as a name brand blade, but the first blade was only a quarter of the normal blade life I see. So, I ordered 2 more blades and will try and update the review after they have been put through the test. The low price tag is still enticing....Update: Bought and used more of these. Concluded that despite the variability in life span, they are a good buy. The others don’t last enough longer to justify the nearly double price tag. Side note - had a couple oshlin blades resharpened by acme tool and got phenomenal life out of two of them, at a cost of $17 ea.

I used this to cut on 1/16 thick steel. Cut through it very nice. As for durability, i didn't cut a hole lot. I made 10 cut each 33" long but was still cutting very well on the last cut.

I had a project that needed a blade that was not only one that would fit my compound miter saw but also one that would be designed for cutting aluminum. I went on line and googled my need and was pleased to find the Oshlun blade offered at a reasonable price. I read a few of the reviews that were on line relating to others that had purchased their blades and was convinced that I should do that too. I placed an order for the 8" 60 tooth blade designed for cutting aluminum and was pleasantly surprised how quickly I received it. I have used the new blade for cutting aluminum rails & other parts of the outside railing system that I am working on & the blade cuts all the aluminum parts perfectly. I am very happy that I made the purchase that I did. With out the new Oshlun blade I could not do the job that I have done.

Needed to cut some aluminum 90-degree angle and did not want to mess up my other blades. Price on this was good compared to the local big boxes. Cuts cleanly and left very little sharp edges for me to clean up. It sill go into the saw box for the next project.

This is an amazing saw blade for the price! I would suggest this blade to anyone with a cold cut saw. I bought one of these for a project to see how it would do on my Milwaukee Metal Cutting Circular Saw and it did better than the blade that came with the saw. I cut through 60ft. of 1/4 inch thick steel with no problem and the blade still had plenty of life in it. I only had to slow down because the saw itself got to hot to hold.I bought 3 more of these blades after the first one, if you have a cold cut saw that uses an 8inch blade this is the blade to get. The price is great and the quality is fantastic.This is defiantly a great buy not just for the money but for the quality.

This blade turned my vintage metal cutting saw a beast. Using this blade in the vintage Zip Cut metal cutting saw, I test cut some 1/8" x 3/4" aluminum flats and was thoroughly impressed. The flats were cut with perfect and clean cuts that do not require any follow-up deburring. I then test cut a brass bar - 1" x 1/2" and the results were simply perfect.I only wish I'd bought this blade sooner.

Good fit. Initial cuts worked well. I made 80+ cuts through that were 1-7/8" deep in 1" thick alum flatbar.About 2/3s of the way through the blade started to struggle, but we were able to complete the project. Would probably recommend a cutting lubricant next time.

I used to buy Endurance blades because they lasted the longest. They went up in price so I tried Oshlun. It works just as well or better and lasts as long. I can now buy 2 blades for what I used to spend on one. These types of blades don't last a long time anyway but they will last longer if you keep slow and steady feed rates and don't try to take on too many layers at a time if cutting flat stock. It's easy to chip a tooth on the edges of the steel both starting and finishing a cut. These chips mean that the next tooth in line will be forced to do more work and soon it will fail, and so on.Remember, slow and steady.

Got 16 cuts on 1/8 wall 2" square tube mild steel. First cuts were like butter but on the 10th the blade got hot and it was all downhill from there. Forced a few more but she's done. I got what I needed done for not too much cost so I'm okay with that just wish it lasted longer. Possible operator error as I'm new to these blades.

Recently bought this blade, didn't really know what to expect and I was surprised. I'm using the blade on my miter saw to cut some 2020 v-slot profiles for a project and the cuts are very clean, I couldn't ask for better. I'm a hobbyist and don't intend to use this as a production blade so I can't speak for durability, but if you are looking to occasionally cut some aluminum and nice crisp cuts without breaking the bank, this might be the right blade for you.

I purchased these blades to try on 14ga aluminum sheets. Great value, and clean cut, with little to no burr on the edge. The Saw was a Milwaukee 8" Metal circular saw

This blade wasn,t quite what I was looking for, I discovered after I got it that my saw was only & and1/4 inch. However it fits my table saw so I kept it for when I cut wood that has embedded nails, this will save me a lot of blades.

Ordered this blade for the price, but won't order again. It went dull too soon. This blade might be ok for occasional home use, but not for tradesmen who need to use it every day.
