    A few yrs. ago, Lee valley had a special on 9" B&D Pirahna blades really cheap($9cdn) so I got 3 of them to use as beater blades.  Turned out to be fabulously clean cutting on my 10" contractor saw. Given the shakeups @ B&D, I don't know if they are still around but check it out...

   Freud makes a good selection of 9 in. blades . Click on link and you can do search for the blade you need.  good luck.

   Kevin,

   I have an old 9" miter saw and have found an Ebay vendor that occasionally carries some 9 inchers for very nice prices.

   His company name is Cripe Distributing  and also has a web site (http://www.cripedistributing.com) . He sells a lot of surplus stuff, occasionally  has a few Systimatic blades for decent prices. He is reliable and dependable, and I have no interest in this business, just satisfied each time I've ordered from him.

   Take a look at CMT they make a couple of 8.5 inch blades that are good for a RAD saw you would only be loosing 1/4 inch of cutting capacity. Good luck

   I agree with Troy that you will have better luck finding 8-1/2" blades for crosscutting. That's due to the SCMS of that size which was so popular a few years ago. Freud offers several including the LU91R008 which is our top of the line.
