Trouble finding a part
Discussion
I need what should be a simple part to fix a cheapo electric tile cutter but my googling is letting me down, partly as I have no idea what it is called.
The cutting blade has a standard 22mm bore but the plastic bit on the motor spindle has completely worn away so the blade can no longer be held centrally and is an accident waiting to happen.
What I need is what I can only describe as a spindle bush with an 8mm bore, 22mm diameter and 2-3mm thickness but can't seem to find one anywhere. What is it that I actually need to ask for? It should be so easy but it's driving me nuts.

Something like this? Size probably not correct

Oooooo that's it. An inner blade washer flange. 
Now just got to find one the right size. I've just found a supplier with loads of different ones but they only state the brand and model rather than actual sizes. Lots of cross referencing work coming up.
Looks like they are also called pressure plates, if you can’t find the right size you might be able to get a bore reducer to fit in the blade as a spacerNow just got to find one the right size.
