Good to see you back into it again ,you have bought yourself a nice saw there,I myself have a Carba-Tech variable speed 18" saw & mainly use No 3 & No 5 Blades,& that should suit you just fine with the timber you intend to cut ,I buy my blades off Helen Harris [email protected] She can also provide a small catalogue with all the blade sizes & uses in it & provides friendly & fast service. Hope to see some of your work posted here in the near future. Hope this has been of some help. p.s She can also provide a Quick release blade holder although pricey at around $55 but well worth it. Cheers Peter

I agree with Peter,
Helen and Owen Harris certainly give great service and they really know their products.
