Tesla:
I neglected to include that I used at least six (6) blades. The half moon style, and the basic wood straight.

Multiple passes, about 1/3 depth each worked good and seemed to keep the heat in check. One blade met the maker on a floor nail

BTW, this was a DIY project at my home.

I tried it on tile as well (with a carbide blade of course) because some expert had partly tiled over the boxes on one job but that didn't work too well. A traditional carbide file was much faster and I used tile nippers whenever I could. Metal blades would be great for cutting through nails but they don't seem to be available. The carbide blades are advertised for metal but only good for copper and other soft metals.
