Default reciprocating saw question- probelm with blade


"KOS" wrote in message
...
Hi, I just bought a Ryobi rec- saw... When I use it sometimes the
blade comes out of the unit and gets stock in the wood. I then have to
remove the blade and re- insert into the machine..; Has anyone had
problems like this and why is this happening? THANKS!

I had two Ryobi recip saws and non had this problem. My problem with it is
that its under powered and the gear box will strip a gear eventually. I have
cut 1" thick steel plates with the Ryobi, a little slow going but without
problem.

I've replaced the two Ryobies with a Milwaukee Super Sawall and a Porter
Cable Tiger Saw. The difference compare to the Ryobi is like night and day
but cost more $$. My blade came out once with the Tiger Saw but it did
happen again.
