Oshlun SBFT-160056A 160mm 56 Tooth FesPro Non Ferrous TCG Saw Blade with 20mm Arbor for Festool TS 55 EQ, DeWalt DWS520, and Makita SP6000K

For a much cheaper alternative to the Festool blade which in Australia is around $180 mark, I cant fault this blade. It does well.

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.

Compared to the Festool brand blades, these are a real bargain. They are not quite as good quality as the OEM ones but at this price point it's hard to complain. The carbide teeth seem to be thinner than the oem ones meaning they can't be resharpened as often, but again at the price that's still ok. I still keep a few oem blades with higher tooth counts for more critical cuts but these function almost identically - perhaps dull a bit faster. If you're like me and have drank the green koolaid, these blades might soften the blow a bit.

I was in need for a TCG blade to cut some acrylic without chipping or melting. Slowing the Festool TS down to 1, there was none of that. While I would not call the cuts "glass smooth", that's an unreasonable expectation. Festool dropped their own TCG blade which was like a million times more expensive anyway, and not something I need every day. Dust (chip) pickup was fair, not perfect, but much better than my router table was doing. This is one of the only games in town, but not a bad option. At some point I will probably try it on some aluminum but the task at hand is now complete. Thanks Oshlun!

After cleaning I noticed it lost a tooth min use on my T55 Still cut well
