Old wood can be very hard and takes a while to work thru. Also be sure you are using the most aggressive blade possible. A fine blade will dull quickly and take forever. | |
Nov 29, 2011 at 6:39 | comment | added | Mike Powell | I agree with the consensus that your 100 year old 2x4 was probably hard as a rock. But it's worth keeping in mind that of all the cool things these tools can do (aside from the name I love my Rockwell SoniCrafter too), cutting quickly isn't one of them. The small-stroke oscillating motion and those tiny triangular gear teeth just can't remove material like a "real" saw blade with raked teeth and kerf. | |

Nov 28, 2011 at 18:06 | comment | added | Joe | Agreed w/ auujay and Evil Greebo -- old wood can be almost petrified; I burn through drillbits, saw blades, etc, for a house that was ~60 years old when I bought it. (2x4s are ~1.75"x3.75", except for two additions) | |
Nov 28, 2011 at 17:58 | comment | added | auujay | I would bet that part of the problem is that the old wood really is a lot stronger. I was blown away at how quickly I would go through reciprocating saw blades when cutting through the original walls at my house (85 years old). | |
