Cutting Bamboo

[Ralf11]

need to cut out some bamboo stalks

I have an old corded Milwaukee Sawzall - what's the best blade?

red Diablo pruning blade with the carbide teeth? or will the big teeth catch on the stalk and just wave back & forth?

Machete.

Got an angle grinder with a cut off wheel? As a field mechanic working from a utility body - with no saws except hacksaw - it worked pretty well and quick a couple times when I had to cut some wood including 1x6 oak.

I have some ultra coarse (3 or 4tpi) Diablo pruning blades; they're not going to be the hot ticket for bamboo. Finer will be better.

If they are up to about 2 inches branch cutters work best. if your objective is to use it a fine saw works best.
Since this is GJ you need a bamboo saw from Japan.
If your looking to split it I have the proper splitters which I would sell.
