I purchased the cordless version this recently and was wondering what replacement blades users are buying. I see Makita offers three different blades at Amazon but wondering if others are available.
(Years ago I had the corded version of this saw but later sold it. I didn't look at the cordless version yet but the corded one has a step on the arbor that fits a 5/8" standard 6-1/2" Freud blade. I bought some machined shim washers from McMaster and was able to get the Freud blade to run nicely. As I recall, I think the issue was that this changed to position of the cutting line.)
Thanks,
Mike
