As far as the depth on the blades go I've used them for doing undercuts on door jambs for flooring. I also cut holes in 3/4 plywood for outlets and what not. For me most cuts are under an inch depth. I am more concerned if the blade cuts straight and not veer off like I saw some in this test do. In that case the longer blade might deflect more so I would go shorter. Thank you for the video.
Thats a good point. Its super annoying when the blade does cut straight. It really depends on the application that the blade is being used for. I favor the slightly longer blades because I am often making deeper cuts.
I believe the carbide blades are meant for metal, but can also do wood. There are wood blades that always seem to be longer. That said, the Hercules and Bauer carbide blades are quite good, and also long.
Yeah, they are definitely targeted towards metal heavy cutting. In my experience the Hercules and Bauer blades have not been able to keep up, but I will have to try them again.
@contractorscompass I recommend watching the project farm video on the blades too. It's a little older. I was glad to see the Nitrus tested against others in your video. Diablo is always strong. My Nitrus experience was that the blade is aggressive and very fast on metal, like stainless steel and drywall screws, but lacking in durability.
U should test longest lasting blades. I think most of us care more about longevity of the blade far more than cut speed, I know I'd rather have a blade that last 100s of cuts rather than one that cuts a few seconds faster but only last 20 cuts

good idea!
The Diablo bi-metal is by far the best as far as price and production. Although still curious on how it is against the Hercules.
Would like to know bout longivity. If the cafbide lasts a lot longer than standard maybe it is worth the extra seconds?
Thats a good question. I will look into that.
