Topic tags/keywords: humor tablesaw OK, I will admit I’m easily amused. I try to use a cheap 10” blade to rip dimensional lumber or to cut stock to to a rough size. When it comes down to making the final wdith cuts, I switch blades. Even though I have had my saw for awhile now, I’m still find it amazing the difference in blade size between a standard 10” blade And a 14” blade |

You’ll be even more amazed if you clean the pitch off that blade! -- Happiness is like wetting your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.... |

Unbob- I really didn’t expect any comments. It was just late and I was amused. Lol Knotscott – the blade came with the saw when I bought it. The previous owner used it to resaw 12/4 Brazilian Cherry and never cleaned the blade hence why it looks so bad. I agree, it needs to be cleaned again, but i got home late from work and opted for working time versus cleaning time. Especially since it was still cutting clean and smooth. |

Cleaning is what shrinks them like that! Have to be careful to only use cool water, woolite, and line-dry. -- You've got to be smarter than the tree. |

That’s what does it? I figured it had something to do with drying them on high. Either that or sharpening them too many times. ;) |

I think you should clarify… the saw was originally designed for 14” blades, correct? I can see someone stumbling across this thread who wouldn’t know any better trying to run a 12” or 14” blade in a 10” saw… -- Woodworking from an engineer's perspective |

Yes the saw is a 14” saw. I have to change arbor extensions to use a 10” blade. If someone tried to put a 14” blade on a 10” saw, they would find the hole is way too big for their arbor. |

How Did you fit the 10” blade to fit the (I assume )1” arbor? -- Ken from Ontario, Canada |

No, my saw has interchangeable arbor extensions. They are stub shafts that screw into the end of the arbor shaft. I have to change them out the extensions when going from a 5/8” 10” blade to a 1” 14” blade. |

Ken, many 12” + saws have replaceable arbors to go from 1” to 5/8”. Mark -- Tilbilly Mark |
