Jronman Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I am curious what you guys use or plan on using for track saw blades? I currently still use the stock blade for my Flexvolt. Has anyone used the new Milwaukee blades with the anti-friction coating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Both of my saws are Festool and I haven’t tried anybody else’s blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetBuilder Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I will just stick with Festool blades, If I was going to try any other brands I would try Infinity tools blade, but there really isn't much of a significant saving to sway me.

Mordekyle Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Dewalt FV here as well.I don’t even know, does it have a 5/8 arbor, or is it a funky size?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The.Handyman Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 FlexVolt track saw uses 20mm arbor blades and can use the Festool 160mm diameter blades. The stock FlexVolt track saw blade is not that good. I recommend going with a Freud 160mm track saw blades.Makita has a whole 165mm diameter track saw blade range that is fantastic. I am going to see if they fit the DeWalt.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 if it has a 5/8 arbor and has a compatible blade diameter then it should work on the flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordekyle Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So 160 mm = 6 1/2” +/- ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So 160 mm = 6 1/2” +/- ?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkNo. A simple Google search shows 6.299 inches or a bit over 6 1/4".It's that easy to get an answer.

Mordekyle Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 After I posted the arbor question it took me 10 minutes to find the answer to that one.What does a quick Google search say 165 mm equals?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the time to post the question, might as well use that time to just get the answer. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have had very good results with Oshlun blades from Amazon and Tenryu blades. Both have Festool sizes. My ripping blade and aluminum blade are Tenryu and the Oshlun are very good general purpose blades. I have had good luck getting them resharpened as well by a competent sharpening service.
