    Yes ebay fitters world guy blades pretty good although I bought same size and teeth in BnQ believe it or not a blade think basch or for bosche that fits was £20 last summer
     
  4. Why do you want cheap blades when you've bought a really good quality saw.

    I like to use Freud blades, always well balanced and can be re-sharpened multiple times.

    the saw is old and abused im ashamed to say. dont really have much use for it alot of the time hence not wanting to spend £70 plus on a blade.

    lol - don't be ashamed, they're tough industrial tools, not collectors items.

    The website you want is here - make sure you get the right blade as most of them are 2.4mm kerf, so they screw up the rubber strip on your guiderail.

    You need the 2.2mm - and don't expect Festool-blade quality of cut, obviously...

    HTH, Pete

    Just get it sharpened, should be no more than 20p per tooth, I use the makita plunge saw, 8 blades in total always 4 off being sharpened while I blunt the others

    Last blade I had sharpened (still not been used yet) cost about £10 at the sawdoctors.
