Just a question of curiosity. The MT55's flanges are remvoable and I'm thinking about the KSS60 in the future and looking at the 185mm sawblade diameter, wouldn't that be approximately 7-1/4" (184mm-ish)?
Just it's a crazy idea, I've seen some individuals have custom flanges made on some Bosch circular saws they imported from Europe so they could use US sawblade sizes... In the Philippines.

I thought that the MT55 was ~160-mm in diameter?

The MT55 is 160mm in diameter but someone reported success in using a Bosch 165mm blade I think.
But my question is in regards to the KSS60 which has a 185mm nominal blade diameter. I just know the MT55 has the two removable flanges which makes me curious as to the ability to make or modify the flanges to accept common 7-1/4 sawblades with 5/8(15mmish) arbors.

Yup sure you could have one machined at 15mm bore.   |

Jim I have another question: Would you know how thick the riving knife is on the KSS60? Mafell seems to differentiate between the 36B with the blades and I'm wondering if they put a thinner riving knife on the KSS60 or not.

Looks like the riving knife is larger than some commonly available thin kerf blades by 0.03mm... I'll have to measure some blades to see if they're actually to spec or if they're a little +/- here and there like I found.
Thanks Jim.
Edit: Supposedly they're not 0.059" (~1.5mm) kerf as stated by the mfg but 0.063" for the actual width of the tooth which means they're almost spot on 1.6mm.

Anyone know of a flange that would work in this case to change from a 20mm to a standard US 5/8 bore blade?
Id love to be able to buy a stack of el cheapo disposable blades at home depot for 9.99 each.
I tried the flange from an old us spec bosch circular saw but the offset was too much.

Am I missing something... what's the point in buying a mega-bucks saw and sticking cheapo blades on??? save money cutting cheapo framing lumber that does not need a splinter less cut. 10 bucks use it throw it away. save money on filing saw blades and blades. 40.00 mafell blade maybe can be resharpened 4 times at 10 bucks a pop so thats 80 bucks for 5 blades. or buy 8 $10.00 blades that run just as long for 80 bucks. |

10 bucks use it throw it away. yeah f*** the planet! trash gets separated and recycled where I'm from. not sure where you're from. besides one can argue that the cost of energy used and fossil fuel consumed for all this recycling pollutes the planet more and proves further that it is just to make some cooperations more money and not really for the planet. the factories can save the planet they are the ones making all the money. don't lay it on the working mans shoulders trying to get by. our great grand children will be living on mars then anyway. |

Could always buy a stack of blades and have them bored. |

Blades are metal. They will easily go back to the earth where they came from. Not to mention look at all the extra electricity I'd have to use at my job just earn that extra 30 bucks. That counts too.
