mtaylor Posted February 16, 2014 #1 Posted February 16, 2014 We've had some discussions about table saws, blades, adapters, etc. I read the Byrnes info on Hobbymill, and also all the posts here. After scratching about the internet and Google looking for supplier for the Thurston Saw Blades, I found this site: https://www.walterhammond.com/storefrontCommerce/ Since I have the adapter and can use those blades on my MicroMart saw... seems like a darn good price compared to MM. I'm still digging about for other nice bits of tools/tooling. Disclaimer: All the usual... I'm just a customer.

mtaylor Posted February 16, 2014 Author #3 Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks Mark. It had me pulling my hair out since most places that carry the blades require a phone order and not on-line. Once I started snooping around the site, I handed my credit card to the Admiral for safe-keeping.

SJSoane Posted February 16, 2014 #4 Posted February 16, 2014 What a good idea. I probably could have retired years ago if I had not spent every spare penny on tools...

Mahuna Posted February 16, 2014 #5 Posted February 16, 2014 I order my blades directly from Thurston: http://www.thurstonmfg.com/index.html They don't have an easy online ordering function, but will communicate and accept orders via email, and there's no minimum order amount as far as I know.
