Which blade #sawsetup

 

I have a new K 500 S arriving in a week and I wanted to order blades in advance. Does the saw come with any blades? I purchased a machine already on the boat and the invoice didn't specify any blades but I thought they might come with one anyway. If not I would like to order a general purpose saw blade and scoring blade.
 

If you didn¡¯t order a blade it doesn¡¯t come with one. I found that out when I received my Kappa 400 and the techs arrived for commissioning. You would think they¡¯d throw in a setup blade at least, nope¡­

Bill Belanger?

Ian, I would order the scoring blade from Felder and many here in this group like Tenryu blades. Their triple chip grind blade is a great around blade IW-25080D3 250mm or IW-300100D3 300mm.?
 

I have the Felder scoring blade. The width can be adjusted to fit whichever blade you are running.

Based on recommendations from this group I ordered a couple of Tenryu blades. One is a rip blade and the other is a fine cross-cut blade. I could not find a flat-top Tenryu, but a local saw shop had a 12¡± Amana with the right arbor and pin holes so I had them grind it flat. That works pretty well for narrow slots.

FWIW, I sent my WWII¡¯s to Forrest for sharpening and had them drill out for the braking pins. Not expensive, worked great. I expect most sharpening services will do this if you have a collection of nice blades already.
 

My local guy said drilling the arbor out to 30mm was easy, but drilling the pin holes was not. It would have been way to expensive. I just gave my 10¡± blades to my son, as he could use them on his SawStop,

Forrest is probably better equipped than your typical saw sharpening shop.
