Do you have to use a saw stop blade in this saw or can you use another brand?

Any 10" blade should work fine, or 8" dado set. You need a different brake for the dado set than for the 10" blade, though.

You can use any blade you wish. The saw is designed to be used with any blade including dados if the proper cartridge is used.

Saw Stop of course recommends using only Saw Stop accessories with the Saw Stop Cabinet Saw. You could use any other high quality saw blade that meets the required specifications. The blade specifications are 10" diameter, 40 tooth, Professional Grade with 5/8" Arbor, .118" kerf and .078" thickness.

You can use many other blades and dado stacks, but there are limitations on blade width. For instance, most thin kerf blades are too thin for the brake to work. The manual also advises staying away from some coated blades as it may hinder the braking system sesor.

There are certain blades that are not recommended. Please see the following note about the Blade Nomenclature in the owner's manual: Currently, the newer versions of the owners' manuals state: "Blades with depth-limiting shoulders may take longer to stop in the event of an accident than standard blades, and you could receive a more serious injury. Therefore, SawStop recommends using blades without depth-limiting shoulders."

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot

Chop saws that can use a carbide blade seem to be specific. I wouldn't chance it even if you found one that fit

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

Yes. It accepts all standard recip. saw blades. Example, I bought a "Diablo" blade and it snaps right in. Upon examination at the hardware store, I noticed that the shank of most major brands of reciprocating saw blades is identical, so you should be able to use any standard blade regardless of length.

As far as I know, you must use their specific blades for it. I found mine at my local Joann store, but u can probably did them at their website (google it) if they still carry them. I'm not understanding the second half of your question. Hope this helps

There is an adapter available from porter cable that will allow other blades to be used if that is what you mean. I have it, but haven't used it.

You can have your current blade resharpened. I purchased the Oshlun -SBW164032 32 tooth beam saw blade as a replacement blade and it works very well for cutting beams and logs.

I thought all reciprocating saws used the standard blade system. If really concerned, take a blade out of your B&D; saw and check the end that fits into the saw. I think you will see it is the same end as any other blade by other manufacturers. I highly recommend these blades for cutting wood/prunning trees. I use my saw all the time on my wooded 3 acres lot and these blades have not failed.

I used some replacement blades for a folding dewalt jabsaw. I can't remember exactly which one though. Should be a fairly easy search. Just look at the Dewalt ones.

I have not assembled my saw yet. Best answer I can give is probably. Contact the compny that sells the brand here. They were quick to answer my questions last year.

Any brand with the correct arbor will be fine. I font have the arbor size with me.Its a standard size though. I will soon replace mine with a thinner blade.

Two totally different saws. Using a straight edge and a circular saw works but is a major PITA. I believe the heart to any home work shop is a table saw and my miter saw. Figure out how to own both and you will never regret the purchase. Let your wife read this post!

As you can see from the other answers, the machanics of the saw allow for a dado blade to be attached. But beware, in the owners manual it specificaly states that dado blades are not to be used with this table saw. Use of a dado blade could void any warranty.

I would not recommend using other brand saws because the locking clamp devise on the GTA500 was specially made to lock down the Bosch table saw. The locking devise might not be compatible with other brand saws.

It can use either but if you use the old style blades I have found it will not accept a very large sized one as the the spot where you insert it will not be wide enough. I hope this helps and I would definitely recommend this jigsaw.
