Default Re: Q: 16” Demo Saw Blade Life

Yes, seen plenty of slab cutting in the past, just haven’t done more than 4-5m at a time myself. Cut into blocks, use the bar to widen a gap in the middle and pry up. Only change is I’m no longer game to work solo with handling the blocks. Almost 10 weeks of being incapacitated then only light duties has re-shaped my attitude there.

Blade example:

Because I’ll probably be cutting 3-3,5 tonnes each workday, between hire cost and blade wear it points you to ownership instead. Plenty of interesting stuff in 16”, eg: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hinc...saw/1308316380 versus: https://www.kennards.com.au/for-hire...m-16-in-petrol
