Bushman TekBits
BM9030-LSTS03

Laser cut from 304 Stainless, ground for about 0.033" thick.
Fits Bosch T123X TShank Saw Blades
and similar at about 0.037" thick.

As noted on UTube Videos, the Bosch TShank series saw blades
fit the Leatherman Surge Saw Blade Adaptor but they are too loose.
A TShank spacer can be used to bring them up to the required .070" thickness.
The Bosch T123X is specified at .040" thickness but obtained samples measure at about 0.037".
The BM9030-LSTS03 has been ground for about 0 .033" thickness, which totals .070".

Check other blade types, to see whether they are about .037" thickness before use.
Other Spacer thickness variations may be available by request.
