Its the standard sort like this:

I looked at the twin blade types like the tyrannosaw but the problem with
these is that generic blades are not available, and the manufactures
blades are pretty expensive.

Its for cutting up scrap wood for wood burners and the wood can be full
of fasteners - knackering blades is quite possible.

You'd be there for an eternity cutting up lumber for wood burning stove
with an recip saw I'd op for a decent chop saw at least it will be faster
and far easier to cut the wood up.


I was felling conifers with a cheap £15 sabre saw.. it takes about 20
seconds to cut through a 4-5 inch trunk.
Not much slower than a bow saw and a lot less effort.

I did use a sliding miter saw to cut up the logs later.
