Will the Mafell KSS300 fit a 125 mm blade?

[Sourwould]

I know there's a few owners of this saw on here from looking at old threads. Wondering if anyone has tried out a 125 mm blade. I can't find a fiber cement blade in a 120, but can find them in a 125.

This looks like a perfect saw for siding/boxing/decking, but no Hardie blade is a deal breaker.

I only ever found this Makita 100mm/ 4" blade.  It's also been suggested to look at some diamond grinder blades and an arbor adapter washer to fit them to saw.
Maybe someone will have a better answer.

CMT manufactures a diamond blade 125 mm diameter with a 22.2 bore and a 2 mm kerf.  CMT part # 236.125.07

If the blade fits, then you'll need a 22.2 mm to 20 mm bushing. CMT part # 299.238.00

I use a CMT 236.160.04H in my HKC to cut cement board.

I think I have the same cmt blade for my ts55. Man that's a pricey blade. And cutting siding with the ts55 blows.

There's a variety of 125 mm/20 mm arbor diamond tooth blades for plaster board and cement siding available in the Japanese market. They can be had through Amazon. I used to get Makita track saw blades from Japan when Makita only offered the fine finish blade. It was cheaper to get blades shipped across the world than buy them here. So they're available, just not sure if they'd fit.

That Makita blade in the picture looks like it has soooo many teeth. I always thought the Hardie blades had like 4 teeth to keep the dust down (I might be wrong).

I purchased the CMT from Toolnut for about $60.

My CMT has 4 teeth.

I’d think the 125 blade would fit, it only has a .100” larger radius. If the side of the KS300 opens up like the MT55, you could measure it.

Must have been a while ago. They're almost $100. I got a "deal" on eBay for 70.

Yeah, 16T.  I had to read that it's designed for fiber cement twice.

It cuts the board as good as the dust cuts your lungs!  [big grin]
