Porter-Cable Reviews

When I first put this blade on I had a bunch of treated sleepers to rip to fit the slope of the floor, I thought it was a miracle blade. It sliced through with so little effort. Quite possibly the best 7 1/4" thin kerf saw blade I have used. Your power saw is only as good as the blade you put on it, this blade is as good as it gets.

This blade goes through plywood like butter. I had to rip some plywood and this blade not only went through very quickly, but with very little splintering. Definately worth the money.

FINALLY! SOMETHING THAT REALLY WORKS ON METAL SIDING AND ROOFING.I RECENTLY RE-ROOFED MY HOUSE IN METAL AND HAVE TRIED ALL DIFFERENT TYPES AND BRANDS OF SAW BLADES TO CUT THE METAL. THEY ALL SEEMED TO BIND AND LOAD UP. THIS ONE CUT EFFORTLESSLY!NO BIG BURRS OR HEAT DISTORTION EITHER. A LOT CHEAPER THAN A $400 DEDICATED SAW. I HAVE BUILT QUITE A FEW METAL BUILDINGS AND THIS BLADE IS THE ONLY ONE I'M GOING USE FOR THAT PURPOSE. IT'S STILL NOISY, BUT THE NOISE DOESN'T LAST AS LONG, AS THE SAWING GOES SO MUCH FASTER AND EASIER.

These blades are harder and harder to find. I ordered them and got them when promised. Very satisfied with this transaction

I have used several other brands of blades in my porter cable cordless saw boss. But I have found them all to be of inferior quality compaired to the Riptide blade.

as a trim carpenter the death rate of my finish sanders is (was) high.About two years ago I purchased a porter cable modle 333 finsh sander,it is still with me,and going strong.I have worn out only two of the replacement pads in all that time.No other sander,(much less the pad) has been as reliable as the Porter Cable.

Thank You S.M. D'Amico

Highly recommended. I could not find these Porter-Cable blades locally. Amazon carries them + the Amazon price is certainly right, too.

I build houses out of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), see www.safecrete.com for more on them. AAC is a very soft concrete product that is very workable. Any tool that will cut wood will cut through AAC many times faster. I use a sawzall a lot to cut electrical and plumbing chases and outlets. The short stroke of a recipricating saw creates much less dust than a circular saw or router.
There are two reasons why these demolition blades work best for me. They are stiff. A thiner blade tends to curve inside the block when cutting. They have widely spaced teeth. AAC cuts so easy excavating the cut material is more of a concern. These larger wider spaced teeth offer better excavation of dust.

Creates great clean, cool cuts ready for immediate fitting and welding without any clean-up. Great for hobby metal working or professional metal workers.

I have been using the 7335 sander with this hook and loop pad for years. Some people complain about the holding power, but I use 60 grit discs regularly with no problems (maybe vaccuuming out the pad from time to time would help them). In fact, I just bought my first replacement pad only because a "helper" sanded without a sanding disc and wore off the hooks.
The hook and loop system allows quick changing of sanding discs as well as disc reuse. So you can quickly go from rough to fine sanding on individual pieces, and save the discs for the next job.
