Exctinct 200mm/30mm bore, negative rake, mitre saw blade?

[matt]

Am I just looking in all the wrong places or is 200mm negative rake blades odd/rare?

Anyone got any tips for where to track down a good selection of blades (for mitre saws)?

Cheers

Will a 215mm blade fit your saw? If so, have a look at the Axcaliber blades from Axminster. I've got one of the 300mm x 72t blades in my mitre saw and it's very good.

Unfortunately, I can't find any negative-rake blades in a smaller diameter. Even on eBay, 200mm blades are too coarse for cross-cutting (not to mention the rake angle).

Trend do them in 190mm as the makita's take that size. Have you thought of getting the existing one sharpened? And CMT do 48 & 64 T in 200mm but not neg rake.

Is 210mm ok.

A 190mm would probably be OK, although it's not a slide mitre saw so it'd reduce the capacity by a bit. I'll take a closer look to see if I'd get away with a larger blade but suspect not.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Have you tried Cutting Solutions? (they have a website, and a helpful guy to ask but he posts the other side)

If it's not a sliding mitre saw I wouldn't bother with a negative rake blade. I've tried both on mine and the positive raked blade makes for a much better cut.

Hi,
Could you tell us what sort of saw it is and what make. I am assuming a circular saw at the moment since you say its not an SCMS type.

If so then I don't recall any 200mm/8 inch blades but I do recall 81/4 inch blades commonly used with positive teeth and not negative teeth. And these are still available.

Alan, as Matt is asking for a mitre saw blade with a negative rake, I'd imagine he has some form of mitre slide, whether it slides or not. These blades are ideal for this kind of machine; you wouldn't want to use one for cross-cutting in a table saw though.

OPJ he says further up that it's not a sliding version so a positively raked blade would be fine.
