    Default The Omni Dual Saw.

    Hi All,
    The Advertising for this Saw has been on TV for a while now.
    It appears that there are 2 Blades, 1 goes Clockwise, & 1 goes Anti Clockwise.
    The 1 thing I noticed is the there are 10 Lubricating Sticks that go with the Saw.
    Size of Blade appears to be 125 - 130mm.
    Not sure how the Lubricating Sticks work, & why are they needed.
    The only Price is, " Ring Us & we will tell you ".
    The only 1 thing I heard, was that the Blades don't last very long.
    Seeing you can cut Steel & Aluminum, maybe that is true, as you might expect.
    This maybe interesting to see what others think
    Regards,
    issatree.

    If it was such a great idea then how come no one else made them? I think it is just another one of these dud products they sell on ch74. Now they don't even tell you the price up front.

    I love they way they cut up the Citroen. A dud saw cutting up a dud car.

    I wonder if the dual saw can be tucked under the bed for easy storage.

    These were marketed by I think Metabo 6-8 years ago, they were avalible from several tool stores I called on as a Rep.

    I do not think that they were all that successful, as they were removed from the market with in a year.

    The blades are TCT tipped, and the counter rotating gear box may be an issue with the stress involved, ???

    The lube sticks , are basically wax & tallow ,.

    I have one, lent to me by a friend who is not getting it back. Thought it was a gimmick originally and now I love it for certain jobs.

    I have used it (actually my 15 yr old son) to cut old hardwood into pot belly size pieces. Just drop the blade on and away you go.

    Also used it to cut a trench in green logs I scavenge in the neighbourhood. The trench acts as a guide for the chainsaw and I get good straight cuts and it does not bind.

    It's quite smooth and easy to use and safe. The sticks mentioned feed on from the side to lubricate the blades when cutting steel. I would not cut steel with it but I am sure it would.

    Depth of cut is not great for timber, but overall it has its uses for certain jobs.

    The lube sticks are usually used for cutting Alu.
