3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive replacement blades, June 18, 2009

This review is from: Rockwell RW9124 Sonicrafter 2-1/2-Inch Carbide Grit Segment saw blade, Standard, 1-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used this blade to remove sanded grout ( 1/2" W X 1/2" Depth) and about 30' in length. It worked pretty damn good... The blade just wore out too fast, so I bought a couple more. It would be nice if the replacement blades were a little cheaper though. I might purchase the diamond coated blades next time, even though they are about $20 more a piece they should last longer. Plus the Rockwell tool is nice and not as loud as the FEIN for about twice as much...

4.0 out of 5 stars Carbide Grit Segment saw blade, standard - not good!, March 28, 2009

This review is from: Rockwell RW9124 Sonicrafter 2-1/2-Inch Carbide Grit Segment saw blade, Standard, 1-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought the Sonicrafter kit "Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-pc Kit", and the Carbide Grit Segment saw blade was included as one of the attachments. Unfortunately the thing is made from what can only be described as "a thin bit of tin", and as soon as it touched the first thing I tried to cut, the 'teeth' that connect it to the Sonicrafter shaft rounded off! I thought maybe I hadn't tightened the screw enough so offset it by one tooth and tried again. Basically the metal is so thin that it's not physically possible to really tighten the screw enough to hold this in place, so it rounded the teeth again. So it's for the trash, and I haven't even used it once!

Having said all that, I have successfully used other attachments (which are made of thicker material) to cut through drywall and wood. One of the jobs I bought this for was grout removal, but haven't tried that yet.

I haven't had the problem of the attachments coming loose, but I can imagine that over time that might start to become a problem. A quick release mechanism would have been better, especially if you have a variety of tasks to do in short order, but for now I'm trying to minimize the blade changes in order to avoid wearing out the screw.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quality tool, but this blade isn't, June 14, 2010

Have owned the Sonicrafter for a couple weeks now, with the first project being a complete regrout of a shower. The tool is a champ....working for long periods and no issues EXCEPT the the carbide grit blade! This blade works great but wears out very fast!! At around 20+ dollars per blade that's not acceptable. I decided to try the BOSCH Bosch OSC312RF 3-1/2-Inch by 7/8-Inch RIFF Grout Blade which is how it should be. I've already put used this way beyond where the Rockwell blade quit and it barely is showing wear.... unlike the Rockwell blade that is now completely worn out with no grit left on it at all. To sum it up ROCKWELL MAKES A GREAT TOOL....NEED TO UP THE QUALITY OF GROUT BLADE. I'm not sure about the others yet, so I'll give them the benefit of doubt on those. (I bought the super professional pack) ...
