Source for 270mm Sawblades?

[Martin]

I'm thinking of buying a new sawblade for my TS2500 - the 24T one that came with it is not leaving the finish I would like. The default sawblade that comes with it is 270mm (I believe this is another feature upgrade in the CI version - previous versions were 250mm diameter I think).

Anyway, ideally I'd like to source a 270mm blade so that I retain max cutting height, but all I can find online is 250mm and 300mm. I know it's only 10mm cutting height that I'll lose, but if they are availble I'd like to get the full capacity out of the machine (whether I'll actually use it is another question, but that's beside the point ).

Does anyone know of a good source of 270mm blades?

Thanks,
Martin.

Funny how answers to a question can lead to other things. That link from Blue_Ice led me to a Porta Cable profile sander, something I've been after for a while I'll do a review of it once I've put it through its paces!
