Can anyone recommend a set of 210mm blades for a Dewalt DWE7485 table saw?

Just been burned buying one from Trend which claimed to fit, but the kerf was way too narrow for the riving knife. If anyone has this saw, would they be able to link me to a 40t and a 60t blade that absolutely positively work for this saw?

Thanks!

What is the kerf on the original blades? Or what is the thickness of the riving knife? Will the saw take 216mm diameter blades, or is it tightly limited to 210mm? And what is wrong with DW blades?

I think the problem is that 210mm is a blade diameter used for a number of portable circular saws (e.g. Makita 5008MGJ, Festool TS75, etc) and they normally work better with a thinner kerf blade - and a lot more blades get sold for that type of saw, I'd say

A quick look shows that Saxton have 210mm blades with a 2.4mm kerf, on at Amazon and elsewhere (probably cheaper elsewhere) that might do the job, providing your riving knife is 2.0mm or thinner. Dart also do a 210mm x 30mm 40t saw blade with a 2.8mm kerf (i.e. a full size kerf) as well as a 60t blade with the same kerf. You may need to look about for a supplier. I've had both - the Saxton blades are a tad cheaper, the Dart I feel are a slightly superior blade on a big saw bench (thicker carbide, so more sharpenings - I used to buy 300mm ones at one time) but the Saxtons are perfectly serviceable

Thank you mate, I took your advice and ordered the Saxtons - got a 40t and an 80t and they work absolutely perfectly. Very frustrating - not one single review mentions how difficult it was to find the right size blades. If I'd known I'd have just spent more money on the 10 inch model.
Appreciate the help!

I have the DW745 - no longer in production AFAIK. That saw uses standard kerf blades and can't use the thin kerf blades unless you remove the riving knife and crown guard, which isn't the safest way to run a table saw. Good to hear you are sorted
