Built specifically for Shopsmith MARK V and MARK 7 machines, this premium 10" thin-kerf crosscut blade was manufactured in Germany by the original OEM supplier to Shopsmith. That manufacturer is now out of business, making these blades limited, discontinued, and increasingly difficult to source. Branded for Shopsmith and produced to exacting European standards, this blade reflects the level of quality these machines were originally designed around.
Engineered for fast, ultra-clean rips and crosscuts, this blade excels at ripping and crosscutting solid wood, plywood and sheet goods. The thin-kerf design reduces cutting resistance and motor load, delivering smoother feed rates and improved performance—especially important on multi-function Shopsmith machines.
Precision laser-etched stabilizing slots dampen noise and vibration while maintaining blade flatness during extended cuts. A patent-pending blade balancing process ensures exceptional smoothness, accuracy, longer blade life, reduced vibration, and less wear on machine components.
Each tooth is tipped with industrial chrome carbide, secured with tri-metal brazing, and finished with precision mirror-polished sharpening. The result is crisp, splinter-free cuts, excellent edge quality, and extended tooth life across demanding materials.
Designed for professional use, this blade cleanly cuts hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, laminate, melamine, OSB, composite decking, moldings, and non-ferrous metals—making it a versatile, high-performance crosscut solution for serious Shopsmith users.
