Any reason why this blade would work better than the Irwin Tools 4935558 blade at half the cost?

actually I have used both, I went back to Makita because they seem to stay sharp much longer so I use less blades. The Irwin tools aluminum cutting blade is durable for that type (aluminum) metal.

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot

You need to look at your owners manual or go on line and find the owners manual to answer this question. Personally, I have no clue. There actually may be a model number on your current blade which you can research. That is how I found the right replacement blade.

I searched the web for replacement blades and realized how expensive they were. So, I chose to look on Ebay and find aftermarket ones there. The only thing about using them is they do not adapt to the thumb press release to change blades. You have to use a screw and tightly secure the blade in place. But, the replacements from Ebay are worth the extra "trouble" to use and just as good a blade as Porter Cable.

Like the previous answer, I've cut multiple pieces of 28 ga. stacked together without a problem. The cost of the Irwin blade is not a lot of money in order to find out.

the lenox gold is my favorite for long life, but a good hardware store has STANLEY UTILITY BLADES, that are cheap and work well. good luck

Hello AbbyBoy, Thank you for considering AMC Parts Store for your mower parts. Those blades referenced do not replace the 942-04244. The blades you are looking for are the 12956 (Amazon SIN #B0097PENRA). Search using that ASIN # and you should find out listing to confirm these are the ones you're looking for. Hope this helps.

Dave, I recommend you try a sampler pack to figure out which D.E. blades you like best. There is definitely a difference in sharpness, durability, etc.

If you plan on using it for cutting large pieces the 48 is perfect. But I use it for a lot of different stuff and for the extra bucks for the 48 I felt it will be more versatile if I need it. Its like you said they're the same except for the 48 vs 36 .

Look it p on amazon..... their sale prices are even better than going to "rockwell tools.com" Better yet, buy the kt for 139.00 and you get most if the blades you need! and possibly buy the rasp attachment to scrape up grout,glue,and mastics'.

Ditto what the others have replied. The only thing I can add is that if you bought the riser extension to extend the resaw capacity, you would need a 105" blade. If stock, go with what the others have noted - 92 1/2 to 93 1/2. Another good source for inexpensive blades that cut exceptionally well are Highland Woodworking's Wood Slicer blades. I'm not affiliated, I'm just happy with the performance for the dollar. You can get them online. Lennox carbide blades are also widely available, but are much more expensive. If you resaw a lot of material, especially hard exotics, it may be worth it to use carbide. Ditto what the others have replied.

Never tried! This piece is double the price of one that does cut metal so I was more hesitant to try the diamond blade

Today I checked at my local ACE Hardware store to compare them. They are not the same. Though similar these are in my opinion a much better quality tool than the one at Ace. The all metal pruner is super easy and efficient and comfortable to use. Well worth the price. Good Luck

Oshlun makes some 210mm and 30mm arbor blades. They are the same size of Festool TS75 blade at less than half the price. I used Oshlun blade on my table saw and they are pretty good for the price.

The Randall RAT 4 is an excellent choice. Similar in price, I think a little less. Currently there is an Ontario version, which is decent, but Randall is the original designer. I also really like the KaBar Becker line. The BK 16 is very close in comparison and cheaper. The Beckers are easier to sharpen, however they have to be cared for to prevent corrosion. And your absolute cheapest, is gonna be a Mora. They can be had for $20ish. Or more depending on quality and sheath options. They are a good cheap blade. But very susceptible to rust. If you have more questions I am happy to answer as best as I can. These arent armchair opinions either. I own or have friends who own, and we use them in the woods.

There seems to be no difference so go with price. Please note that neither model has a cutting blade, if that is important to you.

I have both and there's really no difference. Blades are the same length and appear identical other than the color.

Exactly. I have a 4 1/2 inch porta cable with a 3/8" arbor. The "knock out" that comes with this blade fits perfectly on that arbor and the blade (in my opinion) cuts better than the original porta cable blades costing more than twice as much, and I say that from over 45 years experience as a cabinet maker.
