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

I can not see any difference between my Festool blade and that one. Smooth cut with nice glossy feel to it.There are a few things out there that are better options than Festool Replacement ones, all of which come at a better value.Examples include t1) Splinter Guard tape from Makita for the tracks which are way cheaper and better.2) Bosh 35mm hose for 30$ ish compared with the 36mm from Festool at ridiculous price.3) MFT3 MDF top that you can do yourself from any 3/4 MDF sheet.

This blade is a very cost effective alternative to the Festool blade. I've gone through several of the 48 tooth blades now and they are very good. They don't stay sharp quite as long as the Festool blades though. For 1/5th the price though, I'm not complaining. I just make a few more scoring cuts with the Oshlun blades and I'm happy. The 28 tooth blades are good, but they are thicker than the 48 tooth (2.5mm vs 2.2mm) and you'll notice that it will take a bit extra off your splinter guards. Its minor, but if 100% accuracy is important to you, you'll notice it.

I was searching for a cheap blade for my Makita battery saw when I found this one that fits the Festool. Turns out to be perfect for the job. Not only does the blade cut just fine, but I hooked up the cyclone dust collection / vacuum and didn't have to breathe cement dust. Cutting the fiber cement didn't really do anything bad to the saw like I thought it might. Good blade but even better if you have the stuff to suck up the dust.

New, I was able to get a flawless cut on both faces in melamine by making a scoring cut at 2mm depth in the back of the material. I have a Mafell saw with a particular feature that makes this scoring cut especially easy to execute. Results may vary depending on the saw and operator, but the blade can do it. I don't normally work with melamine but I was asked to do some work with it and wanted to check my equipment. I would say that there's a good chance with a track saw and these blades you can get good results cutting melamine. On any job involving more than a few dozen cuts in melamine I'd want to have a fresh blade on hand in case the cut quality from the 1st fresh blade shows signs of degrading.###I bought a second blade to install on a Festool HK saw. Without scoring there's a little chipping on the top side when crosscutting sensitive plywoods. A little filling and sanding will fix it. A scoring cut first might help but I haven't experimented. It's not a Forrest blade but it's ok.

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!

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.

I've had a Festool track saw since around 2004. It's such a great tool that continues to work like new despite the fact that I don't baby it. Given the build quality of the saw, I have little doubt that the festool blades are premium quality and probably stay sharp longer than this cheaper blade. But so far the Oshlun is performing comparably, so no regrets or reservations about having it as a backup when I send the festool blades for sharpening.

The blade fits and cuts. I do a lot of baltic birch plywood and is hard on the blade. Time will tell.UPDATE: I found the saw blade sold as a direct replacement for a Festool or Makita track saw is in fact 1/4 of an inch smaller at 6 1/4" instead of 6 1/2". It cuts OK but won't make the scoring cut because it's too small. It's a small issue, but one that is important when cutting plywood or other soft materials.

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.

We gave this saw blade a try on our Festool table saw. We are a company and do a lot of millwork and do a lot of cutting. This saw blade has the same durability as a Festool sawblade.Amazing Sawblade. Why spent a lot of more money if you can get the same quality for less ?

Maybe it was in the description somewhere but this is has a kerf of 1/8” compared to the 3/32” original. If you’re using this on a Bosch Track Saw (which it will fit) it will widen the rubber anti-splinter guide slightly on the track. I’ll have to take this into account when I get the original blade back from the sharpeners.

Thicker and better quality than the average Chinese blade. Cut through 1/2 " plexi like butter (what I expect from a speciality blade).Can't tell about longevity yet but for the occasional plexi cut truly good enough. If I'd cut the stuff more often, I'd go with the Festool blade for it.

Good blades ! Using It on my dewalt track saw and no complains here, second one I’ve bought
