With the specs on the saw blade, 2"dia 3/8hole 132 teeth, check with a machinery supply company for slitting saws. I don't know if the pricing will be better or not but worth the try.
I suggest that you get ChuckBuster involved in the group buy. If you don't know it, he works for a tool and die distributor in the Detroit area. He can get the best prices on everything of this sort.

I'd like to get a good blade or two. The HF saw has worked fine for me so far and when (if) it quits I'll buy another. They just don't cost that much. Gp
I can't remember the thread of the caps crew I used. I just fished around til I found the right one. Every time I order some tooling I add a couple 100 ct boxes of cap screws so I have just about everything I might need. The easy way is to take the factory screw with you to your local Ace Hardware and try it in that little plate they have there and find what matches. I think it's probably a metric cap screw.

I will make it official on Open Forum Thread, for a variety of reasons I am unable to participate further in any way on these blades. Glad we found a product that works. Hope you guys are able to work something else out. Sorry I am not more help.
Have a good one

Ok, so far three have shown interest, with a possible 8 blades spoken for. Let's do this, post definitely numbers under this post. I'll edit this message with names and qty requested. If only 8 are spoken for I'll order 10, if at least 15, then I'll do 20. And to be clear, these are the Malco Saw blades, not the F&D ones.

Let's make the cut off on Thursday, midnight, I'll order first thing Friday. And BTW, multiples should save on shipping from me.

I'll take (2) For sure.
Perhaps establish a cut off/completion date for "Group Buy"?

Whatever other blade you are looking at should have those same specs.

Yup same exact specs, knowing how some factories work, this may even be the same exact blade with different logo.

I'll take two.

Not likely. F&P was started by a Vietnam VET, and everything they offer is 100% made in USA. The owners son runs the company now. Their quality is impeccable. Will stand back and see how these Malco blades do. Chuckbuster, who has been in the biz for a LONG time tells me that until this thread, he's never even heard of Malco.

Well, I checked the USA made part before offering. And seeing how long they have been in the biz, their quality should be GTG.
Malco Saw Co., Inc. is an American manufacturer specializing in circular saw blades for various industries. For over 75 years, we have provided our customers with quality USA-made products in both high speed steel and solid carbide.

Quality has to be better than HF made in ???? exported from China.

I have to ask. Has anyone used something such as a 14 inch metal cut off saw for this job? Abrasive blade rather than teeth and those saws shouldn't even notice going through a brass case. Just wondering. I don't have a saw and the HF 2 inch one gets such mixed reviews, makes me wonder if a bit more money for a better saw makes sense. Or if better blade should make the HF 2 inch good to go.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

When the 300Blk became popular, there were many saw types used to varied degree of success. But for the ease and cost, the HF saw was just the better value. So much so that a few even imported some of those saws directly from China to sell on eBay when HF looked like they would discontinue theirs.
