Fit and compatibility
Choose the 153377 if your saw takes a 16-inch blade. MK notes that stock arbors can be bushed to smaller sizes and special arbors are available on request, so confirm your arbor size and the maximum blade rpm in your saw manual when you order.
Getting the most from the blade
Match the blade diameter and arbor to your saw, keep the blade guard in place, and let the blade do the cutting rather than forcing it through the material. Steady feed pressure keeps the cut straight and helps the segments wear evenly. This is a dry-cutting blade, so let it clear dust on each pass and ease off if the saw starts to bog down. Wear eye, hearing and respiratory protection and follow the saw maker and MK Diamond safety guidance.
