I have been buying these expensive STIHL blades for my brushcutter. The place that sharpens them charges me a fortune. Does anybody know if any other saw blades would work on this machine, possibly ordinary blades? Thanks for your help!

I would think you would need same size center hole and rated RPM of blade to be more than your cutter

Figure out these two things, plus the number of teeth and see if anything matches at McMaster-Carr.

I have some Makita brushcutter blades that work nicely... and are rated for the RPMs. Found them on clearance at my local welding supply.

My FS 130 Instruction Manual contains information that leads me to the impression that you can obtain the necessary files, balancer, and sharpening templates for Stihl circular saw blades from your dealership. I use the chisel tooth circular saw blade. I have not yet purchased any of these special accessories so I do not know how well they work. Jay
