dualsaw as seen on TV - anyone get one?

Finally got to see a good long telemercial for one of these and impressed to no end in that it cuts acrylic/perspex - alos got a better idea of how the counter rotating blades are driven - bit like a clock drives at least two hands.

Just wondering if anyone has been unable to resist yet ??

Just saw (hehe) the same ad, I'd like to see it in the flesh.
Dunno how stuff doesn't get caught up between the blades, I guess as they're counter rotating they'd self clear.

If its not a gimmick you'd think industry would have taken up the idea before Big W.

I'll hold judgment until I get to play with one though.

First question is can you buy spare parts for it?

They've been around for years - first time I saw one was when it was cutting the plaster cast off my leg in 1982 !!

I think you're thinking of the oscillating saw. I think if they were using the DualSaw then they would have been cutting off more than your plaster.. hehe

I saw this DualSaw on an advert just before I came out to work and would love to try one out.

I find it hard to believe it can cut through steel then still be sharp enough to cut through egg shell without breaking the shell into pieces.

I'm pretty keen to buy one

Isn't that what the dual saw is - just an oscillating saw with 2 blades ?
the ad I saw for it (maybe a different brand/type?) showed it up against skin without cutting it !!

What? With the saw that's been talked about or your leg?

Dad got a renovator. Yeah, it was sent back pretty quickly!

I'm not convinced on this dual saw thing either. Those TV infomercials that go on and on and on are a "little suss" to me. Clearly they're trying to mass sell a product that's not quite what it's all cracked up to be. Plus they'd be aiming for those slack enough not to bother sending it back for a refund...

My 5c anyway.

father inlaw has one- there really heavy..

A mate has one.

We bagged him relentlessly for being sucked in to telemarketing until I used it. With a few 'lemonades' on board we cut up an old motorbike frame, and then used it on the pizza we had ordered, and it worked just like the TV ad.

They actually very good, heavy (persumably the gearbox) and the blades seem to dull quickly - I think there is a diamond option available though.

Now that I have seen a bit more...the TV ad claims 900W ?? A hardware store ad has them at 1050W for the 450 model about $250 mark ...an upgrade over the on sold on telly ??

Pizza clog up anywhere ?

bunnings are selling them now both the renovator $174 have all the blades as well and the dual blade was $99 on special

$99 !! Was ??

Just thought of something I wanna see this saw cut through - a steel belted radial tyre !

Have looked at them in the shops, realised they need a lube stick - all the time according to the very knowledgeable guy who uses the ownership sales pitch technique - he has not remembered the brochure detail stating the lube sticks are needed only for copper and aluminium type material cutting.

Lube sticks are an additional continuing cost, replacement blades set $90, creamic set same price
