Hi all,
Just got myself an Erika 85 and have 4 blades but none are really suitable for grooving to create small lap joints (for kumiko).
I am new to the world of saws and blades so was hoping for some assistance in finding what I am looking for if indeed such a blade is available.
I am in Brighton, UK.
Cheers,
Simon

It looks to be the right dimension for the Erika 85.
What size pieces of wood are you cutting?.. if you are cutting very small pieces (I know little about Kumiko), you may need some sort of zero clearance base.
I have a sled fixed to the sliding table; others here have made sleds using the In2tools rails.

The Saxon blade arrived yesterday, will let you know how it goes.
Also emailed the Dutch company re. Intools track, they don't list the UK as a shipping option so hoping I can get hold of it.

The joys of Brexit!.. I used to buy a lot of tools and accessories from the UK. I recently ordered an Iluka tools edge adapter for one of my Mirka sanders from the UK... nearly doubled the price by the time shipping and customs were added - reminded me why I stopped buying anything from there.

what is yr experience with the new blade, is the result fine enough ? I also make a lot of kumiko but use a #60 blade. I bought a cheap ATB blade and asked the blade sharpening company to make a perfect flat top blade ==> perfect

Good results with this blade, it's not that expensive so was suitably pleased. Has anybody tried these? Not 100% the blade is the correct thickness for the Erika 85 i.e the dim. they dictate as "p" in the diagram and is 3mm.
