    I never thought of using it for that. That's really cool. I believe the "notch" feature you are referring to is called a "pin vise" and is a pretty damned cool feature for holding small objects as well.

      Milwaukee makes some really sick ones as well, their Torch and Wrecker thick carbide blades are on par with Diablo. I use both Dialbo and Milwaukee almost every day, the thicker carbide ones they came out with in the past few years are insanely strong and effective compared to standard demo blades. Diablo just came out with a new one that's shaped like a Wood or Demo blade but is rated for Thick Metal, has two or three different size teeth on it, super durable, crazy good for wood and metal equally. I also highly recommend the Milwaukee Torch "Nitrous" and Diablo Steel Demon "Amp'd" 7 or 8 Tpi Thick Metal. The "Amp'd" or "Nitrous" means they have this new coating on them that self lubricates, keeps it cooler running, and protects the carbide teeth from over heating. Even though they are technically made for thick metal they are equally excellent on wood and just about any material imaginable, fairly expensive but 100% worth it. I cut out residential windows everyday made of various materials and used to fly through blades but these newer carbide ones probably last me 20 or 30 times as long as the old blades I used to buy.

      The makita blade that came with it didn't dull too quickly but i bent it, and i reckon you could run these diablo blades over with a tank and they'd spring back to being straight again
