    Default 10"skil power saw

    Hi, I have a old 10" skil power saw , model 107. Im trying to find some 10" abrasive blades with the diamond arbor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Default Maybe DYI?

    I don't know if you had thought of this, but I figured I'd put my two cents. I am a fan of making my own solutions to shop problems out of spare parts, and this could be a situation where that approach might work. If you were to make yourself diamond washers out of scrap, you could use any 10" abrasive blades you wanted. The fittings would be a pressure fit. I did this with an old Skil circular saw, and have never had any problems with it. When you figure out a solution, share with the class...........

    Default I just did something similar to ^that^

    But the blade was too large in diameter. I carefully marked a suitably-sized circle and began nibbling away with end cutters. <--That left a very rough edge, so I created a an arbor I could fit into a variable speed drill. Turned on the bench grinder and fairly slowly set the blade rotating in a direction opposite the grinding wheel. About ten minutes later I had a well-balanced abrasive blade mounted in my "rat" circular saw. In hindsight, after blowing my nose, I'd suggest using a particle mask for this operation.
