4 1/2" circular saw blades / 5/8" arbor

Feb 01, 2006 3 Replies

Does anyone make a blade close to 4 1/2" with a 5/8" arbor hole? I have a small ceramic saw and would like to use it to cut would as well.


Porter Cable has a 4.5" 5/8" blade for their 0314 trim saw. About $10 at Amazon.

Keep in mind, the small ceramic saws (mines a Makita 4 3/8) runs at 11,000 RPM. Wood saws run around 4000-5000 RPM. Choose blades carefully.

Are you referring to a 10" wood saw? The wood cares about how fast the teeth are moving in feet per second (i.e., the tip speed), not how fast the blade is spinning in RPM. And the tip speed on a 4.5" blade at

11,000 RPM is nearly the same as that of a 10" blade moving at 5000 RPM....
