thats a bit naughty of toolstation

[RussianRouter]

Looking at their SMS blades all of them have the printing on the wrong side of the blade.

As far as I'm aware the printing is always on the side of the blade were the teeth going left ie the cutting direction.

Here's a randomblade from screfix

And here'sone fromToolstation...

AmI right or wrong?

Sorry George but as far as I can see both arrows are going in the direction that the teeth are cutting and the blade is rotating, or am I missing something?

Cheers

No mike,you're notmissing something.

Basically what I'm saying is the rotation f the arrow always is on the face of the blade you can see most on the outside.

If I was to put that blade from toolstation on my SMS the arow would be inside the the housing facing the motor instead of facing away from the motor.

The rotation is ight but all printing on the face of the blade is normally seen from the aligning side.

thats nothing strange at all even some of the trend ones have the printing on the other side, it doesnt matter you should know what way round to fit a blade if not you shouldnt be using to tool.

Ditto

The Screwfix site has one the 'wrong way round' too, or did you just ignore that?

As I said both blades have their arrows pointing in the same direction that the teeth are pointing. I mean it's pretty obvious in what direction the blade will rotate, even without any print.

I think what he means is that on the blades he has used the print/writing is always pointing to the outside/left-hand side of the table saw.

But as Chippy says if you have to rely on the writing to know what way the teeth should be pointing/the blade fits, you should not be using the saw.
I am sure/hope that George is not in this camp :?

Certainly not, can put one on without the arrow or the print.

Just seems funny that all Tstations circ blades are printed on the opposite side...must be a Tiawan thing? :lol:

I agree - it's as annoying and naughty as not marking screwdrivers left or right hand.

I can see both sides of the blade on my table saw, which one is the outside? :roll:

The screwfix blade is for ripping, totally differnet blade from the toolstation one.

George, don't you have any powertools in need of a service?

Mike I know thats what I was saying I have had circular saw blades before Trend ones and the print is on the opposite side so you cannot see it when its fitted but I wouldnt post about it on a forum :roll:

Like you say I think hes got too much time on his hands over 400 posts in just one month :shock: I dont want to discourage anyone from posting on here but all the same :shock: :roll:

I just spotted Jakes post :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[studders]

which one is the outside? :roll:

That's easy to tell, It's the side opposite the inside. Bit obvious really. :wink:

 

[andycktm]

If it creates a bit of interest good on him.

Is it possible that whoever compiles the catalogue / web cat has posted the pics back to front?
