Bosch FS200ABU 7-7/8-Inch 20 Teeth per Inch High Alloy Steel Flush Cutting Fine Tooth Power Handsaw Blade

I've used these blades for numerous construction projects with a Bosch 1640 saw. E.g., cutting off the bottom of door trim, to make room for ceramic tile. They have fine teeth, which makes for a smooth, but annoyingly slow cut. Next time, I'll get the blades with more teeth per inch, which cut faster.

The biggest con with these 20 teeth-per-inch blades is they wear out way too fast. This makes their initial high cost downright exorbitant. If they lasted longer, they'd deserve 4 or 5 stars.

Here's a tip to cutting the bottom of door trim. To cleanly remove 1/2" of trim, lay a 1/2" piece of plywood on the floor next to the trim, and let the saw blade slide on the plywood as you cut.

This review is from: Bosch FS200ABU 7-7/8-Inch 20 Teeth per Inch High Alloy Steel Flush Cutting Fine Tooth Power Handsaw Blade for Wood, PVC, and Plastic (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used it to cut door jams for a flooring project. Very clean cuts, no sanding needed to dress up edges. Like another reviewer said, it's a good idea to have a spare on hand, it gets dulled pretty badly when you hit the hidden nails. Easy to attach/detach/swap sides.

After some trial and error, I used the "regular" (not fine tooth) blade to finish the cut when I hit a nail. It seemed to cut the nails quicker and didn't get dulled as badly. Start your cut with this blade and if you hit a nail switch to the "regular" blade. You'll still have a nice clean cut.

Great accessory for the Bosch 1640VS power saw, makes really smooth cuts. I used mine new for cutting door frames, smooth as silk!
