Epic!!! While I love my 10.25” Skilsaw Sawsquatch, if I want to one pass a 6x6 or two pass a 12x12 retaining wall, or go through multiple plywood sheets, your right handed sidewinder missile saw is the only way to go.
I'm sure this saw could have been set up a a little better. It was a borrowed saw and it was the only cut I was making.

Yea the Makita 5402( I have one too) makes short order with most beams with that 16 5/16 blade. There are other specialty saws with bigger blades but they cost $$$$$ well out of the reach of most. Back in the day Skil had their 12" worm drive model 127. Some even made aftermarket kits where you could attach 20" blades to it. Now that is some serious beam cutting!!!
Most likely. I had never used one before and I've only used it one time since. I don't know anything about the blades or how they are supposed to act. I was handed the saw and said use this to cut it.
@@shooshinejonnie blades with more teeths are used for lets say tougher materials-like boards, aluminium...- Wood its a different world, it needs less teeths-equal more space to bring chipping out of cuts because its expandable 'nature' of material. Wood deserve more attention.
wrong blade type for that rip. Lift the guard slightly as the blade nears full depth. Guard often gets hung up. Keep base blade coated in wax. Listen to sound of motor- don't force the saw to cut.
il looks forced into the wood due to its low rpm but in fact a no load rpm is 2.700 but yeah those small tricks become quite important when you'r working with such beast
It was just that hard to push through. I was trying not to bog it down but had to move it along. A sawmill or big band saw would have been better but this is what I had.
On larger blades with at least what I do framing houses, I am more careful with larger blades and slower RPM. You can’t expect the same speed as a 7 1/4” inch blade. Most included blades on all of my saws get the job done right out of the box new but if you choose a better Diablo blade with the appropriate number of teeth, then you’re golden. Mostly it’s what your comfortable with and the low cost 7.25” aluminum Skilsaw 77 with red 7.25” inch Diablo framing blade can do everything pretty decently.

Nice job!
I always used a combo blade. Until recently I was doing a bunch of ripping on the tablesaw. Got a rip blade and it is so easy to cut.

is the blade dull or is it really that hard to push through, all the videos have seen it it's really difficult to push through.

Holy crap thats awesome!
I was genuinely wincing at your lack of safety equipment with the saw. If that thing had kicked you could have been in serious trouble
