Hi again,
I bought this circular saw 6-7 months ago. It works fine for cutting wood, but was just wondering if you know if it’s possible to buy a metal-cutting blade for it? If Ryobi doesn’t do one themselves, do you know if i could fit another brand’s 150mm circular blade on it? Basically i could do with a metal-cutting blade attachment as some wood i cut has nails in and it isn’t always ideal cutting around them or discarding the wood.
Cheers.
I would go with a Diablo blade. They have a Demo blade that cuts wood with embedded nails.

Cheers. I’m having a look for blades locally and finding a compatible 150mm blade that cuts through metal isn’t easy it seems.
Out of curiosity does the blade size have to match exactly?
This seems to suggest that you can use a very slightly different sized blade:
