I may have missed the notice, but tonight I ordered a 10 inch Forrest blade with a 1 ¼ arbor. Several of their blades now offer that as an option - mine cost $11 extra for the arbor.
You find the list (lots of them) of arbor holes when you select a blade but before you commit, of course. The standard column of blade list only shows the ⅝ arbor hole.

I run a Woodworker II with the 1 1/4" bore on my Sawsmith 2000 and it does an outstanding job.

Other blades have the same set of options.

That was "bad" Francis! Couldn't help but smile.

Boy, that is a lot of money to pay for a saw blade. I just can't justify that much for one blade unless I was in it for business.

Forrest, please give us a review of this blade after you have put it through the paces. I would like to know if it actually does " rip & crosscut 1" - 2" rockhards and softwoods resulting in a smooth-as-sanded surface."
