Product Information
Full details
The Makita TCT Blade (B-32801) is designed for professional woodworkers seeking precision and efficiency in their mitre saw applications. Its key benefit is delivering smooth, accurate cuts across various timber materials with extended durability. A potential caveat is that its specific tooth count and design are optimized for wood, so performance may vary with other materials. This 260mm blade features 60 tungsten carbide tipped teeth, an ultra-thin kerf, and a precision-honed carbide construction for superior wear resistance and a clean finish.

FAQs
What types of wood is this blade best suited for?
This blade is optimized for a wide range of timber, including softwoods and hardwoods, delivering clean finishes on both.
Can this blade be used for cutting metal or plastic?
While it may cut some softer plastics, this blade is specifically engineered for wood. Using it on metal or harder plastics is not recommended and could damage the blade or the saw.
What does 'TCT' stand for?
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped, referring to the extremely hard material used for the cutting edges of the teeth, which provides superior durability and sharpness compared to standard steel blades.
How often should I clean the blade?
It is recommended to clean the blade after each significant use to remove resin and sawdust buildup, which can affect performance and longevity.
What is the kerf of this blade?
The kerf, which is the width of the cut the blade makes, is 2.3mm. This is considered an ultra-thin kerf.
Is this blade compatible with any brand of mitre saw?
This blade is compatible with any mitre saw that has a 30mm bore and can accept a 260mm diameter blade, provided it is suitable for the saw's RPM rating.
Troubleshooting
Blade produces rough cuts or tear-out
Ensure the blade is securely fastened and running true. Check for any damage to the teeth. The material might be too hard for this specific blade's tooth count, or the feed rate may be too fast.
Excessive vibration during operation
Verify the blade is correctly mounted and that the saw's arbor and flanges are clean and undamaged. Check if the blade's tensioned steel plate is compromised or if the blade itself is warped. Ensure the saw is stable.
Blade shows premature wear or dulling
The blade may be used on materials it's not optimized for, or excessive force may be applied during cutting. Ensure proper cleaning and storage to maintain the carbide tips' integrity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delivers exceptionally smooth and accurate cuts on wood.
- Tungsten carbide tips offer excellent durability and longevity.
- Ultra-thin kerf minimizes material waste and reduces strain on the saw.
- Reduced vibration due to tensioned steel plates enhances cut quality and user comfort.
- Consistent cutting performance for professional woodworking tasks.
Cons
- Primarily designed for wood; performance on other materials may not be optimal.
- Requires a compatible mitre saw with a 30mm bore.
- The 60-tooth count might be less efficient for rapid, rough cuts compared to lower-tooth blades.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the mitre saw is unplugged before installation. Align the 30mm bore of the Makita TCT Blade with the saw's spindle and secure it using the appropriate arbor nut and flange system as per your mitre saw's manual. Verify the blade is seated correctly and spins freely without wobble.
Compatibility: This blade is designed for use with mitre saws featuring a 30mm bore. Always confirm compatibility with your specific saw model before installation.
Care: After each use, clean the blade to remove sawdust and resin buildup using a soft brush and a non-corrosive cleaning solution. Store the blade in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a protective blade case, to prevent damage and corrosion. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could dull the carbide tips.
