Oshlun SBFT-160004H 160mm 4 Tooth FesPro Fiber Cement Cutting FTG Saw Blade with 20mm Arbor for Festool TS 55 EQ, DeWalt DWS520, and Makita SP6000K

I used this blade to cut down finished cabinets and it worked great with no chipping.

I've bought 11 of these blades for my Festool TS55. They are always razor sharp, leave a great cut and last long. We do custom millwork and I always keep a spare blade in my box in case I saw through a screw.

I bought this as a replacement for the Makita 36v track saw. It’s definitely and small downgrade from the factory blade. The kirf is thicker, the blade is slightly smaller in diameter, and the arbor is slightly smaller but it still fits the saw. It worked fine but the cuts weren’t as smooth and the blade seemed duller then original Makita blade thus putting more strain on the saw and operator. Ripped the wood a little on crosscuts too. Maybe it’s meant as a replacement for Festool. It’s good value for the money, but I think I’ll be going back to Makita.

Actually a good blade for my festool TS55. I used this blade to ripcut 2 sides of a 120 foot dock. It went thru 240 feet of preasure treated 2x6's and is still sharp. It does need some cleaning after all that though. I'm quite satisfied with this purchase.

I'm a big Festool fan. Well, I should say that I really like the Festool products that I currently own. I've owned a few green tools that....well.....sucked. The track saw is one of my favorites. Yeah, it's a little underpowered when cutting bevels but I rarely use it to make these cuts. One thing, IMO, that Festool doesn't do well is make blades. I've owned a couple of the Kapex saws and the blades provided are pretty sad. The fact that they provide a 60T blade with a $1400 miter saw is ridiculous. Do they really think someone is using this saw for something other than finish trim??? Sure it has a negative hook but still.... Back to the Oshlun blade. It cuts great. Super clean cross cuts and plenty fast when ripping 3/4 ply. I highly recommend this blade and will be purchasing another. I purchased the 80T for my Kapex and it's a great blade as well.

While i was worried that i would not be satisfied by these less expensive blades, i have been happily surprised. They are a great alternative to spending top dollar for Festool blades that are frankly a bit overpriced. I'd love to see the actual cost compared to mark-up on saw blades. Using a sharp blade saves time, improves quality and pleasure of work imensly. The option of Oshlun blades is a wonderful thing about capitalism, which usually is not so nice. While i might not use them on every job, 90% of the time they do a fine job and I see no difference (besides price) from the Festool blades. Recently I used a not new 48T Oshlun blade while ripping "Hardy Plank" I did a good 10 8 foot rips of the silica concrete board. I think the blade is toast, but even during the final rip it performed more than adaquately. I continue to be impressed and pleased with these blades. I'm lookin forward to see how they sharpen, just for kicks, I'ts probabaly cheaper to toss them, but my sharpening service does a great job, so it will be a worthwhile experiment.

The thinKerf of this blade was a perfect match for our PanelMax milling machine. we're getting about 600 cuts per blade through 1/2" cement board. Great blade for the price. none have lost teeth but will obviously wear down with an acceptable life span.

I was extremely skeptical about using my Festool track saw to cut aluminum sheets. I was afraid aluminum would somehow wreck the saw and the track. I was wrong it works great. Perfectly straight cuts with very little burring. It did no damage to my saw or track, not even to the sacrificial nylon strip on the track. I used this blade to cut up two 4X10 sheets of .125" aluminum without a problem. I did not notice a decrease in performance at any point and the blade still appears to be razor sharp. Although I cannot compare it directly to Festool's version my opinion is that it would probably hold hold up just as well while at a fraction of the price.
