Hi all, My local builders merchant is selling off some FREUD saw blades at discount. One blade I am considering buying is a 10", 80 tooth ,TCG ,2.8 kerf /2.2 plate, 30mm bore, The problem is my saw has a 1" arbor,I do have a reduction bush at 2mm thick and I just want to check that I have this whole reducing bush thing right before I spend my hard earned. So as long as the reducing ring is thinner than the plate of the blade all should be well..? I should also point out that I recently bought my first stationary table saw (10" SIP) and did not think that the 1" arbor would be a problem until I realized all my blades from what now seems like my 'little De-walt' will all need reducing bushes. I also had a shaky moment when I matched a 2mm bushing to a 2mm plate,the blade vibrated violently and scared the cr*p out of me. 'just one more thing, why is it so hard to get blades with 1" bores ??? Thank you ,Phil.
