I have a .020 fretting blade for my TS it is 5in czech made jewellers blade with a 5/8in arbour . I bought it a while ago and don/t remember where it was purchased . It now cuts a slightly wider ..012 on one end of the cut and slightly deeper abt .020 . Any suggestions for a good narrow fret slotting blade ? I use it with mando wire for ukes Thanks.

What you are describing sounds like either a table saw that requires alignment or a blade that needs sharpening. Tell us more about the blade; is it carbide tipped or steel?

TS is fine, the blade is a cheap czech steel 300 tooth jewellers blade which is kaput,it has vy tiny teeth compared to a conventional fret slotting blade.I looked at matco blades, but they don/t have a 5/8in arbor
