To store sawblades unwrap the wire binding and place in the tube they were supplied in. Holders can be made by cutting the tube 4 ½ inches long (blades are 5 ¼). Attach the tubes to the inside of your bench above the lap tray or other convenient place. With ¾ inch of the blade protruding from the tube, you can then easily retrieve them when needed.
Instead of the tubes, you can drill 3/8-inch holes in the front edge of your bench top. Drill the holes off to the side out of the way of your workspace. Several holes are needed one for each size of blade you use. Drill holes on a slight downward angle, 4 ½ inches deep.
Place all blades in the holder with the teeth pointing out towards you. Then, when you pull a blade out, it will be facing the correct direction to place in the saw frame. Be certain to label the hole or tube with the blade size.
