Paul_Delahaye Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I've a DW718 saw (previous model to the 780) which I've only used for DIY over the past few years. Never had a reason to change the original blade until today. When out in America last summer, I picked up a 96 tooth Diablo blade with the intention of cutting some aluminium with the saw. Problem is today was the first day I took the blade out of the packaging, and I've just realised that it has a 1" bore, and my saw has a 30mm arbor. I'm scratching my head, is the new blade just fit for eBay, or is there some genieus way of fitting a blade with an alternative arbor/washers? I'm currently searching the house for the instruction and potentially any spare washers/spacers which might have come in the box originally? I note that if you flip the arbur, it has what appears to be a 25mm inset, however the blade is too thin, and won't clamp tight when you secure the centre blade bolt. Any ideas or adaptor kits you know of? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
