Hi all. I am new to the sight and need some help!!!

I recently bought an old table saw (Spee-d-cut, made in long beech, CA) and what seemed like a great deal for a nice older saw may have turned into a nightmare!

My problem is that my saw appears to have a 3/4 inch arbor. I measured it with a tape measure and that is what I get, and the current blade says 5/8 inch arbor with a 3/4 inch knockout, which has been knocked out!

In searching tool stores in person and online, I have been unable to find anywhere that has a 10 inch blade with a 3/4 inch arbor!!!

Am I out of luck?

I sure hope not, as it really is a great old saw. Luckily the blade I have now will work, but was hoping to get something that worked better for finish cutting!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jef

Have you tried Ebay?

Another thought would be to contact a blade manufacturer and see if they can help. A recommendation I would have is Forrest Blades. Their sales number is 800-733-7111. This route is going to be pricey but it should get you up and running.

You can have a bushing made, or make one to increase the shaft to 1” (basically a washer). Then buy standard 1” blade the correct diameter.
