How do the blades hold up to cutting rebar in concrete?

The Husqvarna Electric Power Cutter will also cut concrete that has rebar installed. The blade will wear faster with this type of use.

We live in South Central Missouri with a lot of trees in our yard. After a storm, there are too many branches to pick up so we just mow and mulch most of them and these blades hold up very well.

AS long as you use the metal discs you should have no problem. I was cutting cement with a cement blade with no problem.

The Fein Blades are very good, if you have a Fein tool they will lock in 100% secure. You should email me, I have info on rebates and discount codes you can use to get these and other fein blades at a discount, my address is smcjoecohen@yahoo.com.

I've had mine about a year now and I have not needed to replace anything. I guess you could wear the blade down if you grind it on concrete a lot. It is still running strong like the day I got it.

Concrete is like butter. i haven't had any problem with any rock. Quality bits!

I cannot say for certain as I only cut through cement and the stone aggregate, BUT diamond is harder than steel, so theoretically it should. The question is how long the diamond chips will stay attached to the metal. I have successfully cut through a hardened steel screw (Fastenmaster) with a Sawz-all, equipped with an ordinary metal cutting bit, but let me tell you the blade got so hot it nearly melted just from cutting throun a single, 1/8" diameter screw. I would NOT rely on this to cut through rebar, as you intend. You might be able to cut a hole to expose the rebar and then use an oxy-acetylene torch to cut out the bar so you can continue cutting.

I have 3 one I beat the hell out of just to make sure it holds up and it hasn't failed yet. Cutting throwing just abusing it.

Yes, basic wood cutting blades are durable. Unit has adapters for the different blade bases. Most hardware stores will carry replacement blades. Amazon also has blades.

Cuts concrete great. As long as u keep a steady spray of water on bit. No water will cause it to over heat and damage it.

I use these blades with a Harbor Freight oscillating tool and they work ok -You need to have them tight to the tool's mounting base-

Sorry, I won't be of any help to you! However the blades look to be very sturdy for home use, don't think they'd stand up to any commercial use.

It doesn't scratch my concrete, I would assume pavers should be safe, I would potentially be more worried about how secure they are so it wouldn't dislodge your pavers. I think the blades are merely vulcanized rubber so they should not tend to scratch unless a rock or something similar comes in between the two.

this is a planer, if you would use a power planer on concrete then go ahead, but be prepared to buy a lot of blades

I have a very similar one and they fit well. Though I'm not using these blades more than once - they are not very durable.

I just did this very thing and had poor results because the blade I use for that type of work was reAlly worn. With a new blade I have no doubt it would have performed well. I actually wore mine out removing grout between bricks on my house. That worked really good.
