Amana ToolSTF-4 Pair of Blade Stabilizers 4" Diameter x 5/8 Bore

I had several blades from my jobsite saw i wanted to keep using for solid surface material on my cabinet saw. However the blade deflection was so bad i had to joint the edges of every piece to get saw marks out loosing at least 1/8". I just received the blade stabilizers. put them on a thin kerf blade then run a piece of solid surface across table.nice clean cut no blade wobble, no saw marks. they are worth every penny in my opinion. Good 1/8" blade must be ordered, only thin kerf are available locally. If i need a new blade in a hurry this will allow me to run a cheaper blade and still get quality cuts.

Has made a difference when used with my very narrow kerf 80T HI-ATB 10 inch blade. Jointer smooth on oak - not a tooth mark to be seen or felt. Haven't tried with my other thin kerf blade but would expect some improvement in performance. I haven't used with my full kerf blades yet but I suspect there won't be a huge (if any) difference when used with my thick webbed full kerf blade. Owners of thinner web blades would benefit the most. I'd buy again.

These are okay for the price. There is a noticeable nub/burr at one point on the outside (I am guessing it is where the laser or waterjet began and ended the outside cut). It doesn't affect the function but is a little bit sharp and annoying. I used a file to remove the nub and the metal seemed like it was quite hard, which is good I guess. Another issue is that the hole's diameter is nearly too small. I can get them onto my saw's arbor but only just barely. I think I will end up filing or sanding the hole to enlarge it just a tiny bit, because currently it is very finicky to get them on and off when I change blades. Now the million dollar question - do they actually do anything? I have no idea. But they definitely don't hurt (except to your depth of cut) and probably do help a little bit on lighter duty saws with thin kerf blades.

I recently purchased the Dewalt cordless 60V Max circular saw and used a new Tenyru thin kerf blade to rip 3/4" Baltic birch plywood. The cut went fine but it was not square. I tried another circular saw with the same results. Finally I used one of my old dull saw blades (1/8" kerf) and although the cut was square it was quite rough as expected. I put on one of the Amana stabilizer disc on the Tenryu thin kerf blade and ripped the plywood. Afterwards using a machinists square it proved to be nearly perfect. The Tenyru did a good job of not splintering the edges,,, almost flawless cut, the edges were just about polished and square. The saw blade on this model spins at 5800RPM and I did not hear or notice any appreciable reduction in speed. I highly recommend the use of a stabilizer if you are concerned with how well you want your cuts to turn out.

perfect

I use these to stabilize a 0.022" fret saw blade on my table saw. They are excellent for this purpose and stiffen the thin blade perfectly. I've also used them on my regular blades, and they work, but I don't notice too much difference except the cuts are clean and the blade seems a bit quieter through the cut.

While these may help with some blades that need the extra support, they do impact 2 things, one, you lose some depth of cut due to their size, and two, your fence is now 1/8" further away from the blade. Neither are deal breakers, just things to consider once you install them.

I added these to my old Delta 10 inch contractor saw. Definitely smoothed out a relatively inexpensive blade.

haven't done any testing... and they weren't tremendously expensive, and do make sense, so would rather have them than not.

I have a good blade on my jobsite saw. It has a few thou run-out in it. Adding these took out most but not all of the run-out but I cannot honestly say that I notice a difference with or without these.I would have to remove them and feel if the saw vibrates more but if it does help, the difference is not that significant in my opinion

Semble aider quelque peu pour la vibration mais difficile à évaluer. La lame ne peu plus sortir complètement de la table car le disque frotte sur le rebord de l'ouverture de la scie.

It seemed to be a fairly strong stabilizer but didn't seem to make much of a difference with my saw. I also thought I was getting four pairs of them since in the description it says 4 pair but I realized the four was part of the tool part number.
