    Hi all. I am new here. I was wondering if it is OK to put a 185mm blade into a 184mm circular saw? I know that you can go the other way (smaller).
    I know that there is only one mil in the difference but shouldn't it be safe enough as long as the saw doesn't exceed the max rpm while operational.
    Thanks in advance

    Its quite alright,

    AS LONG AS.

    the saw does not exceed the stated speed printed or MARKED ON THE SAWBLADE.

    Also check the guard on the machine (if any) that its not going to catch at any point. A difference of 1mm should be ok, but definitely best to check.
