A surgical blade assembly for use with a driver includes a blade with a distal cutting portion, and a proximal end has a first dimension which is less than what is applicable for use with a specific driver head. An insert is affixed to the blade proximal end and, when affixed to the blade proximal end, is configured to enable the blade for use with the driver head. A surgical cutting tool includes such a surgical blade assembly and a driver head receiving the blade assembly. A surgical cutting tool kit includes a driver with a head for receiving the blade assembly, and a plurality of such surgical blade assemblies for use with the driver, wherein the blades have different thicknesses (a) and/or widths and the corresponding inserts are configured such that the proximal ends of the surgical blade assemblies all include at least one same constant dimension (b).
