Anybody knows where to source 8" tablesaw blades with a 1/2" arbor hole? I remember seeing them sold online a few years ago but I can't seem to find them now. |

Laurent, can't help directly but CMT makes reduction bushings in various sizes, only seems like a 30mm to 1/2" x 2mm, I use their 30mm to 16mm thin kerf ones on my saw and they work fine (I use the superb CMT thin kerf blades). If you can find a source of reduction bushings then it opens up the possibilities of getting a far greater variety of blades. If this would solve your problem, I'd be happy to get some and mail them over to you. Colin Reducing bushings |

Colin and Todd thanks much for the suggestions. I'm using a reducer now but was hoping to find new blades for my '50s 8" Craftsman. I will contact Forrest and see if they can sell me a couple of 8" thin kerf blades. |

Freud makes those bushings and they don't have to be thinned to work with freud blade stabilizers. And also harbor freight actually sells (or at least *did*) a variety pack of bushings and there are one or two 1/2 to 5/8 conversion bushing(s) in the pack. The HF bushings seem just as good as the freud. I have both. And of course, I have a 1940's 8" table saw with 1/2" arbor. The saw is haunted, so I need another bushing shaped like Casper. Rob |
