New blade time?
« on: May 12, 2017, 01:32:14 PM »
Greetings Everyone,  Soon I will be looking to purchase a new blade for my 20" saw.   I'm evaluating whether I should save some money and drop down to a 18" blade.  Every time I see someone ask what is the best blade it seems the MK 301 is the response.

So, that said Where am I going to get the best deal on a new blade?

Just put a new MK-301 on my 18" saw 3 months ago.  Best price I found was at Amazon.

My wife has an Amazon Prime account so I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.  But I got it shipped to me for right around $255.

start with MK-blade dealers in your area. shop at  / Diamond pacific.com  -  MK-blades

Felker & MK-blades are the leading  standard in blades. Star blades are MK-blades. in 1938 Felker work with MK during the ww ll.
 Congo Black diamond blades for the new rock hound.
And a better 297 / 301 came from the partnership between the two.

I don't know these folks at all but found an Ebay dealer with the 18 inch blade for 239.90 and shipping.
