How to get index pin holes drilled in slider saw blades? (especially dado blades)
For those of you who have euro sliders with the index pins on the arbor, how do you go about getting holes bored in blades (if you didn't purchase a blade that was manufactured as such)? I assume you can't do it yourself on a drill press (it would have to be pretty precise to avoid unbalancing?).
I was trying to buy a 6" dado set for my Hammer C3-31, and wanted the Infinity Dadonator (which can be ordered with a 30mm arbor for $250), but Infinity can't drill the index pin holes. The Forrest Dado King comes with the holes, but is much more expensive (~$400). The Felder adjustable slot cutter looks nice, but is even more expensive, still (~$500).
Second question: are the holes drilled through each chipper blade, as well?
