the easiest to find either.

I made my last one in under 2 minutes. What size spindle?

Also not sure if it runs rather fast for a
steel cutting blade - the ones I've seen say about 2500 rpm max.

that does need to be addressed, don't overspeed them. 2500 does seem slow though.

The blades I've got are marked 18mm, so I assume the spindle is that.
Haven't yet dug it out from its hiding place.

Not sure what sizes of bore are common for a 210mm steel cutting blade,
though. Only ready made adaptor I've found is 30 to 18mm.
