Saw Blades FORREST SAW BLADES Dampener/Stiffeners Dampener/Stiffener with 5/8" Hole
DAMPENERS/STIFFENERS are designed to provide a smoother, quieter cut.
Normally, best results are obtained by selecting one stiffener 1/2 to 2/3 the blade diameter and mounting it against the OUTSIDE of the saw blade. For example, a 10" blade uses a 5" stiffener.
10" saw blade minus 6" dampener/stiffer equals 2" depth of cut. 10" saw blade minus 5" dampener/stiffer equals 2-1/2" depth of cut.
Note: Be sure any bumps or scratch-burrs on saw blades and arbor flange, are stoned flat for dust-free FLAT metal-to-metal contact between stiffener, blade and arbor flange.
