What blade for Ozito Mitre Saw?

[Matkai]

I will be installing skirting soon and was planning on purchasing the Ozito 254 Sliding Compound Saw and the Mitre Saw Table.  I am aware that this comes with a 40T blade, but for MDF moulding was informed I should use a 60T or preferably a 80T blade.

In the manual it state that you need to make sure that the blade is not too big, has the right bore hole and also is suitable for the speed.

Ozito 
Speed: 4,000
Diameter : 254
Bore:   25.4
Kerf:  3.0mm (assuming this is the thickness)

Is it going to be easy or difficult to find extra blades that will fit? 

Has anyone found a 60T or 80T blade that fits and works on this machine?

Thanks

Hi @spurssimon,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and thank you for your question.

Yes, the IRWIN 254mm 40T Marathon Circular Saw Blade will fit your Ozito 254mm mitre saw. The measurement that matters most is the diameter, which matches at 254mm.

The 30mm measurement refers to the arbour, which is the size of the hole through the middle of the blade.

The 1”/25mm/16mm markings on the box refer to included reducer rings that allow the blade to fit different arbour sizes, meaning it can be adjusted to fit saws with 25mm or 16mm arbours if needed.

As for the blade width, it isn't explicitly listed on the packaging, but it's typically within standard kerf sizes for a general-purpose blade, which is between 2 and 4mm. 

I am confident this blade will work with your saw, but it would still be worthwhile to confirm in the manual based on the information I have provided. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
