Flat....says it all Alternate bevel Alternate teeth with opposite bevel. Triple chip one tooth flat (square) next tooth has 45 degree chamfer on each side of the tooth one third across. the middle bit being flat but 0.4 mm higher than the flat tooth. Regards getting flat in bottom of...

I would not recommend chamfering the bore at all. Axminster are not likely to replace a blade you have altered from the original. The saw bush should be thinner than the saw plate thickness, not the tooth thickness. it is likely the plate is about 1.6 mm so the bush should be thinner than that...

The more I see pics of the cutters the more I believe it looks like you hit something in the cut. Its not impossible to have foreign material buried in the timber. titman SRC58 x 1/2 @ £31.00? Inc VAT & delivery? Bargain 8) ....Well done =D> ..... Someone is giving cutters away for nothing......

Trend predominately used to sell routers made by Titman (but badged as Trend of course). Some years ago they did a deal with a company called Dimar (Israel owned) and have been selling mainly those routers since. many people have noticed the change over the years. Still good quality but...

Correct on both counts Paul.

Show us a pic....... Doug

Something has shattered the carbide on both cutters. which means its hit something quite hard. or the carbide was duff. It looks like (on the right hand cutter in your pic) the metal behind the carbide is damaged too. again suggesting its something hard. you seem pretty good with the pics can...

Simon I am intrigued as to why they have left that bit black. can you still post pics of the broken one. i would like to see as closely as possible the metal structure. It is not uncommon to have metal fatigue.

Hope you have a good 8 mm Collet :wink:

What do you blow it out with? Compressed air? Nice and dry. Or a little puff from your mouth....how much moisture is in there? I'm not a machinery guy but as said Boeshield is good. I use waxoil (probably the same stuff) for protecting parts of the boat that might get rusty. Doug

If the cutter has broken at the bottom of the shank it can often be an indication that bearings are going, old/worn collet or wrong size collet. The shank doesn't show much sign of it being the collet but I am interested in the black marks at the bottom of the shank.....indicating burning! can...

NLS stopped making saws a few years ago. they can modify a standard blade as can most people selling blades

I have them available. will send a pm incase it breaks the foirum rules

Unless you go for a thin kerf (2.2 mm) 300mm diameter with 120 ish teeth you are unlikely to find a blade with flat tops. If you are only doing a shallow cut then you could use the blade I mentioned above. Otherwise I would recommend 96 tooth negative hook 3.2 kerf with 2.5 mm plate triple chip...
