OshlunSBFT-210036 210mm 36 Tooth FesPro General Purpose ATB Saw Blade with 30mm Arbor for Festool TS 75 EQ

Yet to use but looks the business

This is a great blade for the money. Not quite as clean a cut as a genuine Festool but pretty good nevertheless. I would buy again for sure.

It’s not bad especially for the price. I was annoyed by a couple of things, then I’ve also noticed some positives. Overall I think it’s great value, but I would make sure you understand the good and the bad before going this route.Cons:1. I knew this would probably be an issue, but the kerf was not the same as the Festool. If you switch to these you probably need to stay with them, or keep the tracks separated from your others that you use festool blades with. This blade trimmed my splinter guards further than the Festool blades already had. So now if I ever go back to the Festool blades I need to change my splinter guards on my rails.2. When I got it the blade it had torn out of its packaging. The plastic holding it was super thin and the sharp blades just shredded it. Luckily there was no lasting damage so I kept it. Just watch out for this.3. There was a lot of excess grease. I know they do this to keep it from rusting and I expect that, but there was just so freaking much. When you pair that with the torn package it had all kinds of crud stuck to it. I had to clean it up the same way I clean super old dirty blades before use.Pros:1. Value for the money. If your plunge saw is a work horse and you go through a lot of blades, then you just can’t beat this price. Replacing festool blades on the regular gets wildly expensive. You will get adequate cuts and save a lot of money.2. The cut is pretty clean. I’ve cut mostly hard maple solid wood and maple plywood with it so far while I build some cabinets. I got the 36 tooth all purpose blade, so it’s not ideally suited for either cross cutting or ripping, but it can do both pretty decently. It leaves a super clean edge on the “good side” (face down) of your board. The back side (face up)has some minimal chipping that I knock down with some sand paper. The off cut side gets chewed up a bit, but the same happens with the Festool blades.If I were to go back I would probably buy one that was made for clean cross cuts, then get another for rips. It’s a pain to change out the blades so often, but you can get two blades here made for specific tasks cheaper than one Festool blade.I do wish that they would tighten up their tolerances and try to match the Festool kerf exactly. I would gladly pay more for the blade if that were the case.

These are lovely blades, appear to be near-equivalent to the 5-times-as-expensive Festool blades.

Cuts clean and costs a fraction of the price. I'm sure it won't last AS long, but I can buy 3 for the price of one Festool blade. I love Festool, but some of their consumables are a bit crazy priced. You can always use with while getting your Festool blade sharpened as well.
