Tablesaw blade ...

[LeeElms]

I would like to buy a new rip blade for my tablesaw, a Scheppach 2500CI. I have a good CMT crosscut blade, and the rip blade supplied with the saw, which, however, is a larger diameter than the CMT crosscut blade. This means I have to adjust the riving knife position every time I change the blade.

The blade I need is a 24 tooth (approx.), 250mm diameter, 30mm bore, 3.2mm kerf blade with the 'pin holes' for the Scheppach.

Does anyone know of a source for such a blade ?

Theseare v.good blades IMHO

Their industrial ranger are even better, so I'm told.

Theseare v.good blades IMHO

But not available in 3.2mm kerf, unfortunately. My riving knife is 3.0mm thick, so I want the kerf to be just a little wider. Both the blades I have currently are 3.2mm, but I can't find a blade that matches my requirements anywhere.

Pay your local saw doctor a visit, if a blade isn't available off the shelf they should be able to take a suitable blade and change the bore , put pin holes in etc.

Thanks for that. It had occurred to me as a possibility, but I was hoping that I could get one 'off the shelf'. It does appear that the combination isn't available though.

Unless someone know differently ...

I doubt you will find the precise spec unless you buy a Scheppach blade, which will cost more than an equivalent quality blade.

If you want a mail order solution, you could call the likes of Cutting Solutions, or maybe Wealden.

If I were you, I would be replacing the CMT crosscut rather than the rip blade with something the right size, rather than loosing ripping (and cross cutting) depth unnecessarily.

I have received a PM with a pointer to a Freud industrial blade that seems to meet the spec. (it looks like the pinhole positions are correct, but I would have to check that). However, I suspect it would be rather expensive.

I will consider the alternative approach of replacing the crosscut blade, although I'm not sure the Scheppach blade is a common size (another thing to check).

Freud are overpriced for the quality. A saw doc will be able to supply a German made industrial quality blade at least as good for significantly less money (and way less than some which are being heavily marketed around here).

 

[LeeElms]

I think a saw doctor is the way to go ... either to supply a blade, or to add the pin holes to a blade obtained through conventional retail channels.

Just a little more hassle than I had expected to get what seemed to be a straightforward item.

hello LeeElms,
I used to have a scheppach 2500CI & have a pair of sawblades remaining which I don't use on the new saw (sedgwick TA315).

The old blades are in used but good condition.

1 - scheppach brand 270diameter / 30bore / 24tooth (rip blade)/kerf 3.2mm

2 - norfolk saw own brand 270 diameter / 30 bore /48 tooth (crosscut) / kerf not stated but believed to be also 3.2mm.

Both were used with the same riving knife no problems.

If you want these you can have them (free of charge) - pm me your address & I'll arrange post.
regards,
Catface
