I picked up an old Skilsaw Model 107 at a farm auction and unfortunately it has no blade. I was wondering if anyone knew if it would accept a standard 10 1/4" circular saw blade or if it uses an actual 10" blade? My research has been inconclusive. Not mine but the same model from the internet. ![[Linked Image]](https://s3.amazonaws.com/vs-lumberjocks.com/nnk38gx.jpg)

7.25" is standard size. But they do make 10". I have both. Should be easy to figure which size it is.
That is a worm drive. They are heavier....

Interesting saw. I did not know they made 10 inch or 10.25 skilsaws but google fu say they do. I would either get a 10 inch blade and call it good or take it to a tool place and ask. No need to go to a gym after using that beast for awhile!

I don't think 10" blades with the diamond cutout for circular saws are very common.
I just did my best to measure and I'm pretty sure this thing takes a strait 10" blade.
Maybe I'll get a picture for a size comparison.

This thing has a center hole, right ?
.....you need a little stick 5.125" ( 5 1/8) long.
You figure out what to do with it, from there .

Measure from the center of the arbor to the blade guard to see if a 10 1/4 will fit in it. As long as it doesn't hit, it'll work. You're only talking a 1/8" difference in radius.
A lot of 7 1/4" saws will accept a 7 1/2 blade.

Have you plugged it in to make sure it still runs?

Here it is next to a regular 7 1/4" saw. ![[Linked Image]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad319/justin10mm/002_2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad319/justin10mm/006.jpg) The diamond shaped arbor is the issue. I think I found one that will work. A guy in the comments says it has the option to knock out the center for a diamond arbor and should work for my saw. https://www.amazon.com/Tools-MARATHON-Carbide-Circular-14233/dp/B0002KIEZ6 I own two old big wormdrive Skilsaws, a model 107 ten inch blade and a model 127, twelve inch blade. Like their modern descendants, the model 77 variants, they use a diamond shape arbor. It's really difficult to find that type blade in either size, especially with carbide teeth. It's not mentioned or shown in the Amazon description, but this Irwin 14233 is perfect for my model 107, 10" Skilsaw. Also, the Irwin 14070, 14074 and 14076 10" blades have the diamond center option. I'll still have to mill a diamond center into a 12" blade for my Skilsaw model 127, but the Irwin 14080 12" blade is a good starting point. How dose that work as I've never done it before? I assume it is perforated like an electrical outlet box?

I had an 8 1/4" Skil worm drive saw in the late 70's or early 80's. This one is well before that era.
As to the diamond arbor, I grind those worthless things off so I don't have to knock the diamond out of a new blade. I've never had a blade slip with a round arbor even on a table saw and I don't make them "farmer tight" or even close to it.

it takes a 10" blade, they were made in the late 50's and used mostly as a beam saw. Not sure where you find a blade with the knockout in them these days.

Marathon sells a 10". It's listed as a table saw blade but it has the diamond knockout.
Some miter and table saws have the diamond so don't search only for circular saws.
