I'm looking for a used blade that has a little life left in it, for the old slab saw I just acquired. The blade that's on it is an 18", and does still cut, but I would like to have a backup blade available, just in case.
I can use either 16" or 18" slab-cutting blade (3/4" arbor). If you have one that's not warped or dished, and still has a bit of cutting left in it, and could let it go for cheap, I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Tom

Wow. I was really hoping that someone out there would have a used blade to unload - guess I was wrong! Oh, well, I tried. Happens a lot when you're on a really tight budget. Tom

I think we're all on a tight budget

Nate, thanks! One thing I had not considered before is that if I put a 16" blade on it, I'll need about 3 more gallons of oil! $$ $$ I'm thinking I probably don't want to do that, after all. Thanks, Tom

No problem Tom. Good luck with your search.

Some people add bricks to the tank when using smaller blades.

John - you sly dog, you! That's the answer! Now it dawns on me - the same trick they want you to use to make your commode use less water. OF COURSE! Again, I'm hobbled by a bad case of the dumbs.
Thanks,
Tom

What you don't want to do is reduce volume of oil with proper blade. You need enough volume for oil to cool.
