Does anyone have a source for blades other than SS? I'd really like a Freud LM75R (30T rip), but don't know how to purchase one that will fit the 1.25" arbor.
Suggestions?

I purchased a few 5/8th arbors from SS. I keep each blade I usually use mounted for easy use. Yes, that creates an extra cost, but the ease, at least for me, is worth the investment.

Kalynzoo,
It has been a few years since my purchase, but I have ordered Freud blades with a 1-1/4" hole. The blade was $10 more than the standard 5/8", but it is still less than a new arbor.
I would suggest contacting Freud.

I have a couple of extras, but always felt the saw blades were more stable on the larger arbors.

I actually sent a question in to Rockler to see if they could supply a blade. I was surprised Google did not turn up a source other than the SS site.

Forrest will drill the arbor for you in new blades.
