Re: Purchasing saw blades

Thanks folks. I live in UK (Nottinghamshire) and my existing SS blade has a 1 1/4" hole and a two piece arbor with shaft that fits over the 5/8" drive. It does seem that the 10"/250mm blades generally available on-line have a smaller hole so I would then have to buy a new arbor. Maybe...

Purchasing saw blades

Firstly, for a MkV, where can I source saw blades on-line?

Secondly, is it necessary to use the Shopsmith brand?

Rip Fence not square

I have a Mk5 and find that when I tighten the knob of the rip fence, the far end pulls in by about 2mm so the fence is not square to the worktop/saw bench.

I have tried adjusting the set screw to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
