Hello 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
If you are only cutting plywood, whats wrong with using the 10"?

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?

Please remove splinters before emailing
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...
