East of Broken Bow | If you are wanting to cut the nails, and reuse the boards, with the least amount of damage to them possible (and least amount of saw marks) a carbide blade, in an oscillating tool, works best. It also won't get pinched and 'grabbed' while cutting, and try to shake your shoulders out of joint.
If you do want to use a sawzall blade for cutting nails, the BEST blades for that, are carbide blades. Diablo, Morse, and Lenox are brands I have used, and for nails I'd suggest the one with the finest teeth. However, the carbide blades are not very flexible, and have a thicker kerf than most blades. If you are cutting non-hardened nails, and no screws, the DeWalt nail embedded lumber blades, work well, last fairly long as long as you don't cut ring shank nails or screws, and have much more flex to them. Not as long lasting as carbide, but much cheaper, though. Might be a factor, if you need the flex, and risk pinching a blade, and bending it. Better to have that happen on a $3 blade, than a $10 blade. | |
