Hi all
Am about to buy the above tool and I would like your advice on the different types of blades to buy.
I live in a remote area of France and my local, small DIY store doesn't stock blades, just the tool , so I want to order in the UK from Amazon and buy the right number/type of blades as well
I am approaching the finishing stages of a renovation, so I can see lots of use for cutting laminate, skirting etc but can't see any/much metal cutting.
I haven't been able to work out from comments how long blades - either genuine Bosch or pattern ones like Shark - last. Difficult question i know, but if you were , say, cutting pine floor-boards , are you going to be using a blade every 30 mins or four hours ? ( I know it's a contrived question, but I can't think of a better way to get an idea )
Looking on the Shark site, they list Standard, Japanese, BiMetal and BiSegmented blades. OK , I understand the words, but what do they mean as far as blades go ? Maybe I overlooked it there, but couldn't find any explanation.
Thanks
