 Blades 

 Shop blades are available for member use. If you want a specific blade of a known sharpness or for specific work (fine cuts, etc.), members are encouraged to purchase their own blades. 

 Both table saws accept 10 inch blades with a 5/8 inch arbor hole. 

 If purchasing European blades, carefully check the clearance between the blade and the Sawstop brake cartridge after installation and before use. Some European blades can run slightly large, which can trip the brake and destroy the blade. 

 Check the member-curated list of tool vendors for places to buy blades.
