   This blade cannot do it all!

   My motivation for buying the Navigator was to use it with various blades to cut 4″ pvc pipe, tree limbs, etc. instead of using handsaws. It does all of this fairly well, but it would perform much better if B&D came out with a wider assortment of blades. At just 3.4 amps, this saw is not overly well powered and thus it should have an assortment of blades available so as to maximize the efficiency of the cutting action.

   The wide woodcutting blade listed here has teeth that are fairly fine – which is good for precise cuts in material such as pvc pipe and lumber, but not so good when cutting tree limbs or any other situation where you want an agressive cut. In my opinion B&D needs to come up with some more blade options for cutting wood!

   Limited choice of blades serious drawback.

   The available blades for the Black & Decker Navigator electric handsaw are ok for the applications that these blades are designed for, but for heavy-duty cutting more aggressive blades are needed–especially for cutting thick tree trunks & limbs. It would help greatly if the Navigator were redesigned to allow using commonly available saber-saw blades.

   Black & Deckers Navigator Saw is Unique

   These blades cut fast and are great if you need to cutoff something flush in a tight spot. Much easier to use than a sawsall. It will cut 6″x6″ as easy as 1″x2″. I have used it to cut off door legs for carpet or tile installation. They also make a metal cutting blade. For more information check out the Black and Decker website.

   Black and Decker Navigator Handsaw

   I purchased this saw about 6 months ago and cannot tell you how happy I have been with it. I recently had to purchase additional blades and couldn’t find them anywhere except on Amazon. Thanks Amazon for being there when I need you.

   The service was excellent and the saw is too.

   excellant

   After using the wood cutting blade I found it to be very usefull in not only cutting 2′x 4′s but have also used it for cutting branches. It’s long lasting feature is a plus.
