Circular saw blade hole size

[dave7108]

The blade that came with my erbauer circular saw blade has a smaller hole than the new Freud blade I've just purchased. The Freud obviously fits but is not tight and doesn't slot in like the old blade did. Is there anything I can do or is this blade unusable?

That's my saw, can it only take 16mm blade only?
Thanks

Looks like you've bought a 20mm bore
Take it back and change it for a 16mm bore
Don't try to use it!

Blades sometimes come with reducer rings or you can buy them separately.

The larger ring in this set should sort you out:

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, follow the direction arrow if you do end up using this blade

I think that will work nicely. Thanks
