i used the standard "metal cutting" blade that came with the saw; it cut about 1/4 inch before shattering. good thing i bought a set of 5 extra heavy duty bi-metal or something blades. i used one of those blades for each spindle; took only 5 minutes per spindle with these blades.
gonna bleed the entire system tonight and bed the brakes (hawk HP+). i'm going to pocono east on tuesday, so i'll have a full report then.
