I have a 254mm table saw arriving today (Axminster AC254TS) and I already have 2 brand new Freud 250mm blades. I am assuming that, other than reduction in cutting depth, there is no problem in using these blades in the saw, or is that wrong? Other than a slightly increased blade speed, due to...

I have this bandsaw and the blade tensioning knob is broken. SIP no longer stock this as a spare part. Does anyone know if this was rebadged by other suppliers so I could try their spart parts store? Thanks Peter
