Hi,
I have a Performance Pro Sliding cut circular saw.
I've tried to follow the instructions for changing the blade ( the
default blade is a 40t ripper! ) and I can't get it apart!
You could try pushing the blade (with saw unplugged of course) against
a scrap of wood held in a vice etc. Idea is to lock the blade from
rotating. THen using a second block of wood as a cushion on the
spanner, tap the second block with a hammer.
Does anyone have any hints/tips with this device?
Also, what number tooth blade is best to use for neat cuts, cutting
softwood ( e.g. pine )
If you are using the original blade, then usually replacing it with a
decent one like a Freud or a CMT will make a huge difference anyway.
Watch the overall and hole diameters though.
For finer work, a larger number of teeth is normally better.
Other things that you can do is to put a second piece of material
under the piece to be cut or to put some tape on the underside of the
piece. THis should reduce or prevent tearout.
