How does this compare to the dethatching blade where it has two metal springs on the end?

It worked reasonably well, you have to replace the plastic blades when they his roots, I recall receiving a few extra with the blade. I have not used the ones with springs. good luck

This worked well for me. I had to do three passes. But I also had a deep layer of thatch. I packed two trash cans full from a small front and small back yard

We used this one last year & were not pleased with it. We got the one with the springs on the end this year & it did alot better job. So yes, definitely go with the one with springs.

This blade works better, I've used it in a gravelly environment in west Texas and I love it. The plastic fingers are pretty durable and easy to replace. They are readily available on Amazon.

I used the one with springs before I bought this one. I found the spring really dug up the dirt and destroyed the lawn. If you want a really 'deep' de-thatch go with the springs and wack the heck out of it. If you want a gentle, more controlled de-thatch go with this one. I am really happy with it.

The 5007F is heavier than whats stated in the description. It's a great saw and I like it. Very powerful and cuts & rips with ease. If I had to buy again I personally would go with the magnesium base. 1. Description states that it comes with rip fence and it does not. 2. The weight is probably the same as magnesium model. 3. You get the case. Doesn't seem like a big feature but it is. I Don't believe you can go wrong with either saw. If weight is a factor I would look into the Dewalt lightweight models. Because this saw is not lightweight!

I have both the metal cutting and wood cutting versions of this saw. Was at a job site recently where I only had the metal cutting saw, and naturally needed to cut a 2X4. It cuts a wider path and the blade spins about 1/3 as fast, but it did a good job of cutting, certainly not worth going back home just for a couple of wood cuts. As previously answered, the miter set up would not lend itself to any precision woodworking.

One of the real design benefits is the way the blade is held in place. No other DE razor I have seen has this. Blade is equal on both sides all the time and no blade vibration. Sometimes its hard to tell its cutting. I had a real problem with my Merkur razors holding the blade equal.

found a blade at Ace hardware that fits in the alternate end style listed in manual

My mop-head has two metal sections joined by a spring system that does enable it to be squeezed by part of the handle.

I don't know the difference, but the tool works well for adjusting to different adapters. My problem is knowing which adaptor to use. Don't use it enough to know which clamp goes with which connector other than the special feature I needed. There is a chart, but didn't research to know what all the codes mean...need pictures for me. The self ratcheting system is nice. Holds things in place while making wiring adjustments. This is diffently heavy enough for everything I do (use it about once a month or two).

Yes. 40513 is the more flexible blade and is straighter. 40515 is stiffer and has some upsweep to the cuttin blade.

I have had mine for about a year now and it is much more robust than other models. You cam use different shank sizes without changing out parts like other models since it has a standard chuck. It also doesn't bog down like other models. The handle doesnt get hot in your hand either and its mot as bulky as it looks Its quite comfortable. This is my third dremel brand rotery tool. The last two were high end dremels and this one is the best I have ever owned. I use mine for cutting/carving plastic, wood, metal and have used it on bone and it works great. I did replace the foot switch with a router speed control so i can swirch it on by hand a adjust the speed without getting a cramp in my leg. Hope this helps.

In my opinion the edjer 2 is better after u adjust the blades and has a more power. I just purchased another one this week. Great tool.

no the spring is an integral part of the blade and by taking out the spring you would have a blade that does not stay in the knife body.

There are two slots. The first is a rough cut and the second a fine cut. They both use the diamond rotating metal removal process, but you can tell that the second slot is a much finer cut than the first. I use this on my Victorinox Chef's Knife which has a thin 12-15 degree Japanese style taper and it works very well. This might not be the right choice if you have a typical western blade with a 22 degree angle as it would take a long time to reshape the edge.

I also have an ESEE 4 that is very similar to the Fallkniven F1. The ESEE also comes with a much better sheath.

The shape of the blade is slightly different. The schf2 has a straighter top and less symmetrical tip.

While its a lot more work it does a far better job than the simple pull behinds I've used that just have metal spring fingers sticking out.

I don't have a dethatcher but I believe so. The web site is very adamant about it's versatility. Check Mantis.com

I've been using this trimmer for a few months now. So far I haven't had to lubricate it yet. It is better made than my last trimmer as far as the blade. It seems like is beefier than some stamped blades on cheaper trimmers.
