What blade to use?

[rjveth]

I'm getting ready to use my Vecturo 400 EQ to cut into studs and I expect to run into nails.  My question is, which blade should I use for this operation?  Just looking at the Festool catalogue I would guess it would be a 500126.  Is that correct, or is there a better choice?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

500126 is your best option in my opinion.

Shane,  Thanks for the info.  I'm on my way to pick one up now.  I had tried a 500129 Uni blade, but it didn't last very long.

The 500126 is the only one made to cut through metals. The 500126 is for woods, plastics and plasterboard.

Here's a handy chart.
