   Not a lot of them on the market, #9. The 12" craze has not planted a firm foot in the U.S. as of yet. My suggestion would be to google for a saw sharpener locally and they probably have or have access to to manufacturer of commercial 12" in various sizes. No problem getting a 60T-80T down to 40T, but the buck seems to stop there at the moment.

   You can purchase a 12" 24 T ATB carbide at this site:

   Good luck in your search...

   Take a look at Freud, CMT and Dewalt they all have 12" rip blades with 1" bores you could put a reducing bushing in it or have a saw blade shop could bore it out to 30mm. As far as tooth count most off these blades have either 30 teeth or 40 teeth. Of course Forrest will make a blade to the size you want.

   Good luck.

   Thanks for the replies, I'll start at the sharpening service and work my way back; those forest blades sound good too.

   I own a 12" Felder. Get the Amana Euro Rip 12", and order it bored to your specifications. Mine is for a 30MM hole, plus two braking pin holes. If you need those, make sure to give them that info as well. I haven't seen any 12" saws with a 5/" arbor; in the US they comne 1", in Europe 30 mm.

   I've found for crosscutting, nothing beats the Forrest, but for ripping in 8/4 oak and maple, the Amana is better -- and the Euro rip is a different blade than the standard one, and works better.
