Although capable of cutting a single sheet, Irwin’s Marathon blade was unable to advance beyond 4 ft. against the stack of three planks. I was surprised by the wide range of prices I found for this blade. I wouldn’t shop around for the best deal, though, because this carbide-tipped offering isn’t a good choice for heavy-duty work.
