| Not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but hope some of you can answer it. I have a Craftsman saw that uses a 7-1/2 in. blade, but locally I can only find 7-1/4 in. blade. Is there any reason I shouldn't use a 7-1/4 in. blade in a saw built for a 7-1/2 in. blade? Of course, I will loose some saw depth and that is not a problem for what I am doing. Thanks in advance. |

| Yeah, no problem at all so long as the arbor hole size matches. |

| Thanks Jon. The arbor hole matches, so I will try it tomorrow and let everyone know how it works. |

| Just to follow up. I used the saw today with the 7 1/4" blade and it worked great. Just as Jon said, No Problem. |

| I do this all the time with my table saw and radial arm saw. They will take a 10 inch blade but if I run a 7 1/4 inch blade or an 8 inch blade the saw doesn't have to work as hard. Especially helpful when going thru very hard thick material. Pooh Bear |
