	The spacer is not load bearing.

X-Acto® X11	Spacer cut from X-Acto® Knife blade or equiv.

X-Acto® X11 blades are typically .020" thick
	Many Starrett blades are .specified as being .050" thick. However, paint increases measured thickness up to about .057" (as measured on two samples.)

	Starrett Literature which includes Blade thickness (probably not including any paint)

	Grind or sand only the TShank section of a Starrett BU38 blade. Remove paint on flat sides only. TShank will now be about .050" thick. Using a hobby blade about .020" thick, mark and grind to fit TShank. Total thickness is about .070".	Improvement: Try trimming a .020" thick gapper from a garage sale or a larger version disposable blade. Etc.

As noted on UTube Videos, the Starrett TShank series saw blades fit
the Leatherman Surge Saw Blade Adaptor but they are too loose.
These blades are too thin, so by using spacers, the thickness can be increased.

These are not for sale by Bushman & are included here for general interest & reference.
