what is a good blade for cutting yard trees with medal in them

Col,theirs no good blades to cut tramp metal.Its best to try and avoid it or at least cut around it.A good metal detector will help.Nails are usally not a big deal if you hit them at a right angle,their soft and will do minimal damage to a few teeth.Hard metal like drywall screws,files est will trash a band or blade.

Woodmaster "C" blades. They aren't any better at cutting metal but they are cheap  ;D

You always hit metal AFTER you put on a brand new sharp blade.

I've got to where when I hit metal.....it no longer bothers me. I just go with the flow.

But I do have some older resharp blades I use on suspect logs.

I agree. If you stop after exiting your cut and examine your blade, you will usually see metal chards stuck to some of the teeth. Removing them with something like a chisel or screwxriver will buy you a few more passes.

There's few brands in germany who offer nagelfest, nagelfestes or nagelsicher  circular blades, which are meant to whistand stray metal in wood. I've cut rooves with one, metal, wood, nails etc, and it's still cuting. Biggest one is in the 70cm range.

So it's not just me then....  :-\

Like David said, if you suspect metal, use an older blade that has been sharpened 5-6 times or more and is probably reaching the end of it's useful life anyway.

Most all my logs come from homeowners yards . If you saw enough logs with metal in them you begin to be able to see them in the log, stains,bumps,dimples,anything in the first 8' is highly suspect. As for finding them,put a new blade on you will find it right away :D. I do not worry about the blades,they are wear items and sometimes they get sacrificed. Most of the time they get dulled and you have to change out, very rarely they get broken beyond use. I dont baby the feed when I am sawing and I have hit some heavy metal and sawed right through it.

  Other times it will stop you dead in your tracks. ;D. Tim

Where do you buy yours.

Menominee saw (button on the left side of the screen) I believe woodmaster c and red streaks are the same price. (jakes silly oppinion follows) red streaks are better for clean logs but I think the woodmaster c would take a good metal strike better. They are designed for resaws so they are made tough but not made to be sharpened very many times. The woodmaster c-sharp is the one made for sharpening, they are more expensive.
