I realize every saw and size will probably have a different range of blade length. I have a Delta Homecraft 9" saw that I use to saw everything from 1/8" Masonite to 3-4 inch stove wood and even a wood working project on occasion.
It's about time for a new blade or two and the Delta boxes containing blades that came with the pre-owned saw have a length of 71-3/4" clearly stamped on the boxes. One of the blades that broke in the weld actually measures 71 and just shy of 5/8". I see 72" stock blades listed for sale so it makes me ask what range of length I may be able to get by with.
I might be able to calculate it but I would need a refresher geometry course to do that so I ask on the form for information from someone with experience if they think a 72" would work. And I promise if it doesn't work I won't carve your user name in stone with that incorrect information. Thanks, Bob
