Need a new Saw Blade

[wizer]

The blade in my CS is ruined and needs replacing. The Saw is a B&D

On the side of the blade it says 170mm dia. and 16mm Bore.

Searching around, I can't seem to find a replacement that fits this spec.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

WiZer,

That does look like a B&D 'own' size, you could fit a 160 mm blade like this from Axminster. You will lose 5 mm off the depth of cut.

if you do decide to go with a new saw, i recently bought the hitachi c7bu. its a great saw, has an electronic brake which is definately handy to have. am very impressed with the quality of cut as well. axminster have it on special at the moment for £120. you get a free 40T blade aswell. (comes with a 24T blade)
