10" diameter Skilsaw Blade <> knockout - brianwelch - 01-10-2019

Any suggestions on a source for a reasonably priced 10" combination carbide sawblade (for wood) with a diamond knockout? I have received and returned 3 from Amazon, all which had a diamond arbor knockout shown in the product description. Even heard back from a vendor on the 'Bay that their sawblade, while listing description includes it, after checking, let me know that it does not...
Doesn't have to be topshelf, as this will only receive very occasional use.
This is for a vintage Skilsaw Model 107 (wormdrive) that only accepts that <> arbor configuration.
I have read about home brewed versions of laying out/scribing/"dremeling" the KO in a standard blade, but would prefer factory version. I have seen 10.25", but I am pretty sure that the limit is 10" on this saw. If someone knows better/differently, I am all ears...
Thanks in advance
Brian

Used to be years ago, that saw shops could punch a round hole in a diamond hole blade. I'm wondering if they could do that the opposite way.
Do you have a saw sharpening shop close by? Might pay to give them a visit.

The one time I needed to do this I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel. It doesn't need to be exact, but you will be surprised how good you can get it.

I would not bother with a machine shop as unless you are on beer drinking terms with them it will probably cost you way more money than this is worth.

Not that I know of, but I had thought about reaching out to one of the sharpeners I use to see if they offer that service
Thanks

So the Skil 107 will accept a 10-1/4" blade?
They are available, I just didn't think there was clearance...
Thanks
