DAMPENERS/STIFFENERS are designed to provide a smoother, quieter cut.

Normally, best results are obtained by selecting one stiffener 1/2 to 2/3 the blade diameter and mounting it against the OUTSIDE of the saw blade. For example, a 10″ blade uses a 5″ stiffener.

10″ saw blade minus 6″ dampener/stiffer equals 2″ depth of cut. 10″ saw blade minus 5″ dampener/stiffer equals 2-1/2″ depth of cut.

Note: Be sure any bumps or scratch-burrs on saw blades and arbor flange, are stoned flat for dust-free FLAT metal-to-metal contact between stiffener, blade and arbor flange.

These important support discs:

– Help kill saw “scream-whistle” from a vibrating blade surface
– Dampen out motor and belt vibrations from being transmitted up to the rim of the teeth
– Greatly reduce cutting noise
– Hold blade rigid and true for better cuts on your machine
– Are hardened and precision ground flat within .001″ to keep your blade true
– Can be removed instantly if the need occurs
