SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on understanding wood cutting blade specifications, specifically regarding the compatibility of grinder spacer flange nuts with different bore diameters. It is established that a spacer is only used with a 16 mm spindle and that the flange nut must be sufficiently large to secure a 20 mm blade. Key specifications include 72 teeth per inch (72T), a 4-inch diameter, and a blade thickness or kerf width of 1.1 mm. The consensus warns against using saw blades on handheld grinders without proper safety measures, emphasizing the importance of blade material and configuration.
