Thanks for the guidance chaps, I'll have a go at it this weekend and let you know how it goes.

Any suggestions on where I could get a new flange (that was a sentence I didn't think I'd say today :-) ) and a new reducer? I got the last one from Axminster Tools.

Quick trip home from work to get measurements. Blade thickness = 1.73mm washer thickness = 2.16mm 0.43mm different. Not a great deal but probably not helping things. Attached is a photo that I hope shows how concave the saw flange is. I guess I could place it on the flat bed of my bench...

Thanks Trevanion, that is a really kind offer. I'll check the width of the flange & blade plate (they look and feel the same, but I'll check with calipers) and take a few photos after work.

Hi all, I recently spent a happy day in the workshop disassembling, oiling, and reassembling my newly acquired Kity K5. :D As part of the referb, and because I have a project coming up, I decided to get a new blade for the Saw, and I hit a snag which I'm hoping someone may have seen before...

I agree, Bob you are a star :-)

Hi all, newbie to the site so I hope I have the right place on the board. Just bought my own K5 (cream one with yellow guards) and looking forward to building some cabinet doors. (hammer) I have lots of questions that I was hoping someone would be able help me with. Bob, would it be possible...
