Metal Reciprocating
What does it mean when I hear someone say, "You don't want it on the orbital, when cutting metal"?
...using a cordless reciprocating saw. What is the best type of blade used when cutting metal that is less than an eighth inch thick? How many teeth per inch? I'm looking for fast and efficient cuts, the roughness or smoothness on the edges of these cuts don't really matter. Thanks in advance!
Some reciprocating saws have a switch that changes the saws action from a straight sawing motion to one that actually reaches ahead on each stroke (this is the orbital action). The orbital action is much too aggressive to use on metal. When you buy your blade note on the packaging that the type of cutting in this blades design is listed on the packaging. You probably want one that is listed as being made to cut "ferrous metal, less than 1/8 inch".
