What is the Kerf of this Rockwell RW9231 3 3/8 inch saw blade. I need a .060 kerf blade to spline my boat.

Since I could not find the kerf for the RW9231 blade on Rockwells web site, or on the blades package, I used my digital caliper. My caliper could only span (2) two teeth and (3) three teeth are needed for an accurate measurement, my reading showed .058"~.061" depending on how I held the caliper.Hope this helps.

I have a 1023PRO and my guess is that all arbor lengths are the same for that number saw. The best bet is to call Grizzly, they have an 800 number, and they could tell you for sure. The DW770 is a good blade and is fine with my saw. One thing to be careful of is in using spacers, be sure to use them on the solid part of the arbor and not the threaded part as they can drop down in the thread and therefor prevent you from getting the nut tight. This is true on any arbor thread.

It does not come with a kerf plate for a dado blade and I don't know if Rockwell offers one. I would not touch this saw at any price. It might be worth $50.00

Yes - it's not a 3hp or 5hp saw, so you have to let the blade do the work. But I have ripped 2 1/2" purple heart. I absolutely recommend this saw. My only caveat on this saw is that it did NOT come with a low-profile riving knife (shark fin), only the larger one that allows the blade guard to mount. If you use a cross cut sled, or at other times, you may not be able to use the larger RK, and that's when the shark fin is needed. It took a while for me to get one.

No idea but the Saw and the Blade I got from Makita was awesome. We were cross cutting white pine 6 x 12, 8 x 8, and 6 x 8. Worked great.

Oops. Cutting edge is 3 1/8". Messed up measurement. The other measurement is dead on accurate though.

6 1/2" saw blade, suggest finish saw blades for smooth cuts. Rough cuts get jammed.

I'm no expert, but if I was using a hand tool I'd use the Stanley Surform 21-296 plane with the Microplane 30004 Replacement Blade. I think that would get the job done quicker that the rasp.

It's a 210mm blade.... Everything on the saw is metric.... Best saw I've ever owned, it cuts laser straight

I've got mine attached to a 12" compound slide miter saw. As such, my travel is limited, as compared to a panel saw, so I'm not sure how far forward the laser would project. I went through four of these units (purchase/return) until I got one that was "close". Accuracy in large part is dependent on three things: the type/shape of the blade you're using (the thinner the kerf the better), how flush the arbor is with the blade and how accurate and properly aligned the laser was installed during manufacturing. I figured that for $9.99 and free shipping I couldn't go wrong. I ended up removing it given the fact that it simply did not perform to my expectations.

The kerf is the size of the cut the blade takes out of the wood. The smaller the kerf the better for more accurate cuts.

The LU85R010 has a wider kerf, .116", than the D1080X's .98". More meat on the teeth means it can be sharpened more often. Also, the blade plate is thicker. In theory it should vibrate less, giving a smoother cut, but I use both blades and have not noticed any scoring with the thin kerf blade. I like to use the 1080 when working with exotic wood. That little bit of difference in kerf does add up when you pay an arm and a leg for highly figured species. Whichever blade you buy, you won't be disappointed. You can't buy a better blade than Freud for and amount of money. One last thought. If your saw isn't a powerhouse, go for the D1080X. It will take less effort to make the cut. Hope this answered your question. Happy New Year!

Thomas, I don't recommend the conversion kit. It ruined my saw which it was supposed to fit. Save your money. Then buy a round blade saw.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

I"m not sure if its 5/8" exactly but I do know it more or less the standard size for 10" table saws. I put a 10" freud LU87 rip blade on and am impressed with the feedrate on some 3" x 4" ancient fence material that was in a barn for years which consist of Maple, Cherry, Beech, Red Oak and White Oak. Not a unisaw but impressive for a portable saw of that genre. Minumal burn marks and nice square cut.

The arbor size listed on the site for the Rockwell RW9231 VersaCut blade is 15 mm.

The blade is 111" and if you are going to do any resawing, I would recommend Laguna blades 5/8" shear force 3-4 tpi aprox. $38.
