If your tile saw has a 1/2" arbor it should work. I bought the Harbor Freight mini saw for less than $50 since all my others are 5/8"

Wayfinder, looks like the eBay store I listed in my video has sold out, still don't know where Del got his. You can do some searching on eBay, the blades are jeweler slotting/slitting blades.

Hmm... Wayfinder. I think I went on ebay and searched .023 kerf circular saw blade and found it that way. Hope that helps. I'll send more info if I find it.

Hey WayfinderI got this from dogglyv's drill driven jig video.

OK! I got the blade and the saw now I just have to make the sliding jig. Maybe by this weekend. Thanks again for the demo.

Nice video. I had bought one of those HF mini table saws, and it did bog down on me. So I couldn't do slots in harder woods like oak or cherry. Pine it was ok. but its softer wood, but I'm not using pine for a cbg. Kinda wish you didn't speed up showing you cut them, cause I wanted to hear it run for you. I ended up returning the saw since I ended up damaging a lot of cuts. Same blade as well from ebay was used. When they come out with a version that has torque to not bog, then I'll go back an get it.

Hey doggylv, on your iPad you can look at installing an Internet Browser called, "Puffin".  Here is an article on it that does a decent job of summing it up: Puffin Article Link. It's about the only way I am aware of that you can view Flash Player content on an Apple device.

Man... you never know what you'll learn about on Cigar Box Nation... that's a fact! :-)

Hey Del, good video... I thought about doing this but in looking at other videos about this little saw, most said it bogs down and that the blade wobbles somewhat, do you find this to be true?

Barry want to know where you got the blade.

And I still can't see this on my IPad, Apple doesn't use Flash Player Wayfinder, any other ideas?

Jim, if you have had rotator cuff surgery like I have you might look at different ways to do a lot of things.
