I am curious what you guys use or plan on using for track saw blades? I currently still use the stock blade for my Flexvolt. Has anyone used the new Milwaukee blades with the anti-friction coating?
Both of my saws are Festool and I haven’t tried anybody else’s blades.
I will just stick with Festool blades, If I was going to try any other brands I would try Infinity tools blade, but there really isn’t much of a significant saving to sway me.
Dewalt FV here as well.
I don’t even know, does it have a 5/8 arbor, or is it a funky size?

@Mordekyle the Flexvolt has a 5/8 arbor
FlexVolt track saw uses 20mm arbor blades and can use the Festool 160mm diameter blades. The stock FlexVolt track saw blade is not that good. I recommend going with a Freud 160mm track saw blades.
Makita has a whole 165mm diameter track saw blade range that is fantastic. I am going to see if they fit the DeWalt.

if it has a 5/8 arbor and has a compatible blade diameter then it should work on the flex.
So 160 mm = 6 1/2” +/- ?

No. A simple Google search shows 6.299 inches or a bit over 6 1/4″.Mordekyle wrote:

It’s that easy to get an answer.

After I posted the arbor question it took me 10 minutes to find the answer to that one.
What does a quick Google search say 165 mm equals?

You tell us. You have the time to post the question, might as well use that time to just get the answer.Mordekyle wrote:

I have had very good results with Oshlun blades from Amazon and Tenryu blades. Both have Festool sizes. My ripping blade and aluminum blade are Tenryu and the Oshlun are very good general purpose blades. I have had good luck getting them resharpened as well by a competent sharpening service.
165mm=6.496”
