    Default triangular circular saw blades

    Has anyone ever seen one of these before? I spotted it on E-Bay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....393069575&rd=1)...

    You are supposed to be able to cut around corners etc as the blade is totally free of the work surface some of the time. Looks scary to me. :eek:

    Yep, bought one several years ago. Haven't used it yet cause me jig saw will do the same and is probably safer.

    Scares the willies out of me...

    Looks like it would make mincemeat out of the offcut, and shake your wrist bones into talcum powder.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    looks like it would be more at home on a brush cutter

    If I put it on my circular saw does that make it a triangular saw?

    Not necessarily, but I think it would make you a knucklehead.

    It's not April the first! Does that mean it is fair dinkum? :confused:

    Let's say it does work - who on earth was the goose that first tried it in a saw?

    looks pretty scary but I am sure if it is made in the USA that it has undergone significant testing, and one should expect that it works... whther you'd want to use it or not... I'd favour a jigsaw too

    The company producing those triangular saw blades started out making bicycle wheels....didnt sell too well so they turned to saw blades.

    So its not anti kick back then?
    It would probably cut sideways too.
    Be afraild be very afraid. :eek:
    Looks almost as scary as the things they ised to cut cool room panel with. Straight piece of bar sharpened at 45 deg both ends.
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    It would probably cut a neat triangular hole through your workshop roof as it hurled itself into the heavens.
