What size table saw blade 10 or 12 inch

[SteveLuck]

Can anyone help me to identify what size blade I need 10 or 12 inch.

I bought this Startrite Tilt Arbor a couple of months back and now need to get a new blade. The current blade is 10 inch however it looks as though it will take bigger.

Is it possible that this saw could have been fitted with a 10 inch when it should of been 12 or should I replace it with a 10 inch?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

If you look on the motor plate or the access panel for the blade, there should be a plate telling you the minimum size it can take.

As far as i'm aware the model number is the max size of the blade in mm so yours is 275mm or 10 3/4 "

If it will fit this blade is good value http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320648881834? ... 1423.l2648.
I have been using one of these and can recommend them

I would expect the blade to be just at or below the level of the table when at its lowest setting, so that should give a good indication of the designed standard size. I have a 10" Wadkin table saw which will also take up to a 12" blade - I usually use the smaller blade as standard but for larger dimension timber do use the larger size. Bear in mind that a larger blade will take a bit longer to stop after the saw is powered off and also continue to use the riving knife and blade guard. The riving knife/blade guard on my machine actually states 10" and 12" with a minimum blade diameter of 7"
