Saxton Circ Saw blades

[PeterW]

I know a few people say the Saxton multitool blades are very good - anyone had any experience of their circ saw blades as they seem to get mixed reviews..?

 

I've usually used Freud or genuine Makita but this is for cutting chipboard so not overly worried about a perfect finish.

Sextons are good for MT and recip so should be ok for circ .

I bought a couple of fine tooth Makita TCT circular saw blades recently for around 2/3rds the usual price.  They were the wrong part number for my saw, but the right diameter and hole size, they were cheap because they were the "wrong hand".  It seems that Makita make the same blade with two different part numbers, one has the printing on one side, the other has the printing on the other side.  They both fit and work equally well, it's just that you can't read the printing if you fit the wrong-handed one.  I'm guessing that this isn't that widely known, hence the price difference.

Got a link or a supplier @JSHarris..?

I can't remember who it was, TBH, as it was around 6 months ago.  I just did a search for the blade size, hole diameter and number of teeth and came across two different Makita part numbers for what looked to be the same blade, with two different prices.  This was for the 18V cordless circular saw.  I bought one of each, only to find that they were identical, apart from the price and the side that had the printing on.

 

Edited to add:

Just found both blades, sadly no indication of the supplier.  However, the part numbers are B-09248 for the one that's the "right" way around, and B-09232 for the one that's the "wrong" way around.  Both fit the saw perfectly, as long as you remember to fit the "wrong" one with the printed side facing inwards.
