Metal Detector...

I was thinking about taking a circular saw to several cabinets and a full
size hollow door (so that I can discard the pieces and avoid what I consider
an unreasonable extra expense).

Anyone know if this metal detector any good for identifying potential
trouble spots?

It's from Harbor Freight, so it has to be good, right? ; )

Thanks,
Bill

Home Depot is offering a "demo demon" blade designed for exactly that kind of
use, for around $15.

From the HD description "Diablo saw blades use Freud-made TiCo
Hi-Density Carbide with Titanium for a long cutting life and
ultra-fine finish." Fine finish for your demo project. Har!

I wonder if it's any better than the old Diablo D0724R framing blade
at $9.97. I've had extremely good luck with the B&D Piranha blades at
under $6 each.

It's Chiwanese. What's not to like? ;)

SFWIW:

My local hardware has an exchange plan for 7-1/4" carbide tipped
blades.

Designed specifically for rough work.

Last time I looked, they were about $2 with exchange.

Might want to check your hardware store.
