Thanks Frank,
So is $9-$10 about the going price for :
Diameter (Inch): 2-1/2
Face Width (Inch): 1/16
Arbor Hole Size: 7/8
Material: HSS
Number of Teeth: 28
Type of Tooth: Plain Tooth
or should I look elsewhere since it prob. won't be the first
accessory I'll be wanting to use? Thanks.

PS: I think I'll just make my own arbor. Only need one size for now.

--- Hi Rance/Vikki,
For the occaisional times I need a slitting saw, I bought a few
from Grizzly a couple of years ago 2.5" dia. w/ a 7/8" hole, in
different thickness', and the "fits all" arbor. I found that the
saws don't run true with that arbor, although with care, they work.
I also bought some smaller dia. (I think they're 1.75" dia) with a
1/2" hole, at a flea market, for literaly pennies. The 1-1/4" dia.
of the arbor leaves very little blade showing on the smaller ones.
I
made a 7/8" arbor from alum. round stock, and a 1/2" arbor from
3/4"
round steel rod. They work much better,the saws run true, and are
easier to use. And easy to make. The 3/4" rod arbor for the smaller
saws leaves more cutting room. The diameter and thickness of the
saws depend on your needs. So far these few sizes have worked for
me. If blanks are available, making your own is even easier.
