G5113

Hello All,
I just got a Grizzly G5113 blade for my HF 4X6. Does a Bi-metal
blade look any different than the stock blade? Are these Grizzly
ones a quality product?
Thanks,
Barry

I bought some carbon steel blades from Harbor Freight and some bi-metal
blades from Enco. Appearance wise, they look the about the same.

Great, Just thought it should have looked different. I'm going to hack up
some 3" stock with it today.
Thank You Leo

Barry,

One thing to check on a new blade... make sure the teeth are pointing in
the right direction. On one of the H.F. blades, they were reversed.
Easy to fix, just turn the blade inside out.

cutting .75" x 1.75" 303 stainless bar. When I started cutting, the
blade was properly tensioned and the adjuster locked down. By the
end of the fifth cut, the kerf was wider where the blade entered the
work. The blade was loose. There was obviously some stretching of
the blade. This was the cheapo blade supplied with the machine. I
don't know if the bimetal blades will stretch as much, but the
tension should still be checked often.

Guys,
Thanks for the replies on the saw blade. It cuts 5 times faster than the
stock blade. I'd recomend getting a bi-metal and chucking the stock one.
What an improvement.
Barry
