Blade for Stanley Bridges Husky

[mahking51]

Hi All
Have just reconditioned my Husky and now need a blade for it.
There do not seem to be any 150mm diameter blades with a 1/2" bore these days. (Sorry about mixing imperial and metric )
Anyone have any thoughts, maybe there are bore adaptors or some such available?
Also the method of fixing the blade seems a little odd; there are two wide washers and a kind of sprung washer but there does not seem to be any means of stopping the blade from rotating on the shaft apart from the friction of tightening the centre bolt.
Regards
Martin

Hi Martin

If none of the above works try a reputable saw doctor in your area. For a list see The Saw Doctor Association, or contact them at:

Saw Doctor Association
23 Hill Farm Court
Chinnor
Oxfordshire
OX9 4NX

Tel: 01844 354747

Any of their members should be able to supply a blade which fits and/or can be rebored or bushed. If going to a bushing make sure it isn't so large that there is insufficient flat on the blade locking nut to hold the blade (so a 20mm bore is probably out, then)

Hi Martin

Back in the 60's the method of fixing blades to saw attachments on Stanley Bridges drills was the washers you mentioned the idea being a safety clutch system if the blade was to snag in the work
It was to protect the motor from burnout

I have found a three blade set on Toolstation 150mm x 12.7mm for £7 odd
I do not expect much from them but worth a crack to see how they go.
Thanks for all your help guys!
