Any good in the garden for cutting branches?

Any good in the garden for cutting branches?

Yes. Just need to make sure you hold the branch you are cutting steady or it just reciprocates with the blade.
Get new blades from [url=saxtonblades.co.uk]Saxton blades[/url] rather than branded ones. I get them from here and use them at work and they perform very well for the price.

What's Titan stuff like? Generally.

I got one of these last year and used it for cutting loads of branches during the summer. It is a good bit of kit and spare blades are cheap at Screfwix too. Highly recommended.

Make sure you get the right blades for the job - these are fine for tree branches screwfix.com/p/r…843 5 for £3.69 at present.

Any good for cutting into old metal of the rear quarter panel off a 4x4. I want to take off the rear quarter panel and weld a new one in? Not sure if this will be up to it, any DIY'ers opinions welcome!

I've used a few Titan power tools and they haven't disappointed. Check the reviews out on screwfix

Any good for cutting floorboards / joists ? I have a load of rotten boards and joist ends to cut out of an old terrace house floor.

The tick with this is to make sure you use the correct blade, minimise vibrations therefore reduces cutting time and effort, and but the saw right up to the material. Also make sure not to hold anywhere other that the grip as it hurts if you don't as my dad found out!

Does this do the same job as a jigsaw or is it different in some way?

Best comment on this thread and I cant believe I'm the only one to have noticed!

LOL!

I would really like a battery powered on of these but they are generally sooooo much more expensive.

Should be fine with a short blade with high TPI, 24 or preferably 32. I've been using mine with 18TPI on thin walled steel box section and it works lovely but that of course has more rigidity than a panel, hence why I suggest higher TPI.

I would like to know this too, anybody with experience of both?

I've not used either of them, but the Scorpion is 400w and the Titan is 750w.

I was going to buy a s/h chainsaw to cut down some smallish trees, but from the comments on here I've ordered this instead. Thanks OP

Thanks OP and dave_dave69 got the saw and spare blades - collecting this afternoon

quite a timesaver.
Only issue I had was trying to cut Cherry Wood Logs - but 99% more likely because I had the wrong blade :oD

Good quality stuff from Saxton - had their multicutter blades before and they are a fraction of the price of the Bosch genuine ones, so far they have proved to be just as good, did a lot of cutting when I was doing our new fencing area, made short work of cutting some nice joins by hand.

If your cutting something that can move like a branch make it easier by using a uni-directional cut blade. Like this;

[img]s7g3.scene7.com/is/…000,1000&src=ae235/84318_P[/img]

As you can see from the blade configuration it mainly cuts as the blade is going back to the shoe and therefore holds the branch against the shoe as it cuts. If you use a b-directional blade it will cut faster for a clamped piece of wood but pushes the workpiece away as the blade moves away from the shoe. Bi-directional cut as below;
