I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I don't think they are suitable as the rage machines are lower speed, but higher torque.

Using a rage blade in a normal machine would be asking for trouble.

do not under any circumstances use a "rage blade" in a normal saw
as said by uhm they are lower reving to cut metal
any blade that will cut metal will not be suitale for cutting wood to any quality of cut after a few sparks fly

and because your normal saw will be overloaded it will overheat in no time

it may also be dangerous

thanks for that, i don't know anyone who has one nor have I heard anything about them. That makes me wonder if they are actually any good?
