Review on Lenox Diemaster Vari Raker Bimetal Positive by Jonathan Clark

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A very nice blade. Seems well done.

I actually bought this tool to cut wood and it works great. Not long ago I bought a very dead Sears 12 inch band saw for $40 and assembled it with all new parts where needed. I ordered this CD in 80" and am very happy with it. It was recommended on a Blade comparison site as a good combination of price, quality and durability. Looks very high quality and cuts smoothly like clockwork. I have no plans to to cut metal but aluminum when really necessary. I suspect this will work fine but the speed is not suitable for metal. I would have to get another pulley for the motor. Significantly better than most cheaper blades, which I've seen at local hardware stores. It took a couple of weeks or so to ship but I knew that when I bought it. I'm glad I waited and got this one. No complaints yet!

Pros
  • Variable tooth design for faster cutting speed than normal teeth and smooth cuts
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
