Does anyone know where to find some small blade stiffeners. I have a 3" saw blade for a micro saw and need 2" - 2.5" stiffeners. It is a .02 kerf blade so It will need something.

Any help would be appreciated.

If they are there I didn't see them. That is the saw I have.

I'm not so sure you will need a stiffener. What are you cutting with it? I use a small diamond blade for cutting pearl and it is pretty stiff of course it is a little smaller than your 3" but it is very thin. You might try a couple large diameter flat washers if you can find some with the proper sized hole.

Like John said, Try some washers with the same size hole as the saw's arbor.

If you use washers, it might be a good idea to flatten them on a stone first. Most standard washers are pretty soft & will distort quite easily. You can get "hard washers" from most good auto supply stores. They are made from hardened steel & are precision ground.

I made some spacers for my Diablo blades which I triple gang to make kerfing on the table saw - piece of 5/16 aluminum plate, cut out 3 inch circles on the bandsaw. The baldes run very true.

Yeah, that's it, I am cutting pearl with it.

You think I can get by without the stiffeners?

I think it shold be ok. What are you turning it with? Is it a diamond blade? I just made a mounting clamp for my dremel and put a sliding table on it with an adjustable stop for a fence. It works great. wear a mask.
