Stacking Blades for Wide Cuts
WARNING
NEVER attempt to stack blades beyond the capacity of the Kits
described here. NEVER operate the saw without blade guards in
place.
Combining (stacking) blades together to make wide cuts requires an optional
Bushing Extension Kit.
• Kit #18501 allows blade stacking from .375” to .75” thickness.
• Kit #18502 allows blade stacking from .75” to 1.125” thickness.
The kits consist of an outer collar with a longer pin, an extended bushing, and
longer bolts.
1. Remove the existing Blade (see Installing the Blade, above).
2. Replace the standard Collar Bushing, Outer Collar, and Mounting Bolt that
came with the saw, with the extended Bolt and Bushing and the new Outer
Collar that came with the Kit.
• The Mounting Bolt for the right side of the saw (as seen from the
operator’s position) has a left hand-thread, while the Mounting Bolt for
the left side of the saw has a right-hand thread.
3. Insert the Bushing and Mounting Bolt through the Outer Collar and stack of
Blades. The longer bushing and bolt allow blades to be stacked together
4. Align the Collar Pin through the stack of Blades into the Inner Collar.
5. Tighten the 5/8” Mounting Bolt to 125-175 foot-pounds of torque.
