If you are only cutting plywood, whats wrong with using the 10"? Dave Posted Via Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- SPEED RETENTION COMPLETION ANONYMITY ----------------------------------------------------------
Read the full replyHello to the group, I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a source for a 12" steel (not carbide) blade with a 1" bore? I have searched my a** off looking for one. Hoping for fine toothed/plywood blade but seems I can only find them in 10". Thought perhaps some of you may have some sources I cant seem to get on the net.
Thanks, Mark

Simonds makes systimatic blades. They have the blade you seek:
plastic similar to, but more brittle than, vinyl siding and would be running it backwards similar to the way you cut siding. I am trying to avoid purchasing a 100+ tooth carbide blade similar to what you would use to cut fine, highly detailed, aluminum extrusions. These are the only blades I can imagine would cut thin, hard, vinyl when installed with blade in its designed rotation. Even then there is still the chance of a tooth catching and chipping. I was tempted to try an 80 but thought this would be an easier route. I cant run a 10" blade in the CMS as it wont reach the table and dont want to have make an elevated table or anything. I thought perhaps there may still be companies making 12" steel blades like they do 10".

Ya, thats a carbide blade. Not looking for carbide i.e. (not carbide). I am using it to cut thin, hard, vinyl and I have not had any luck cutting this material with any blade (up to an 80 tooth 10") oriented in its designed direction. The best results are cutting the material with a fine steel blade running backwards. I had been doing this with a 10" CMS but am now using a 12". My only option may be to purchase a high dollar 100+ tooth carbide but was trying to avoid it.
Thanks, Mark
Mcmaster-carr shows one #3973a64 that's steel,12", 1" bore, 150 tooth,
6400 max rpm- 31.30 US dollars that was in the #104 catalog Pat
ooo man, I thought you had it. Their current catalog/web shows that blade no longer available and offers a 122.00 carbide as a substite. Thanks a lot though!!

Can you use a composition cutoff wheel, or would that be too wide a kerf?

OK, one more shot
Hehe, you are the man. I need a lesson on search strings from you. Thanks for the link.

Side note, Just for the hell of it I punched the makita model # into ebay and I picked one up brand new shipped to my door for 47.00. Thanks again Patrick...
