Lidl tools coming up.

There's a Bosch Top Precision one that Axminster sometimes stock that's 165mm with the same bore as the Mafell/Festool, I use one now as I've been meaning (for months) to take my blade to the tooling place in St Philips to be sharpened. It's also a similar kerf to the Mafell stock blades too - albeit 5mm larger in diameter, but it clears the housing and works perfectly.

I haven't found anyone else who stocks it either.

I saw it but at the time wanted fewer teeth and a rip profile I now know why they're not usually available for track saws :-(.

Thanks for the recommend though. On the list for when the current set finally wear out.

In exchange: I've used Leitz Tooling (Ferry Steps Ind. Est. along from the dogs' home, backing onto the New Cut on Albert Rd.) - nice guys, excellent service, not expensive. I guess that's who you mean.

Yes, that's the place I normally use. Nuts and Bolts offer a service where they'll send it off for sharpening, but I prefer to stack up a load of stuff and go to Leitz.
