Bosch EXPERT Stainless Steel Circular Saw Blade - 230mm x 25.4mm x 1.9mm T46
Featuring HLTCG (High-Low Triple Chip Ground) tooth geometry, the Expert for Stainless Steel Circu...Featuring HLTCG (High-Low Triple Chip Ground) tooth geometry, the Expert for Stainless Steel Circular Saw Blade is robust for working in highly abrasive materials such as stainless steel. The Expert for Stainless Steel Circular Saw Blade is highly wear-resistant when cutting stainless steel. The blade's unique Resisteq teeth are manufactured from advanced metallic composites for extreme robustness and durability. Proteqtion coating prevents corrosion and delivers reliable cutting while reducing friction, further supporting performance. Moreover, the blade's high quality guarantees smoothest results without reworking the stainless steel workpiece. The saw blade is compatible with hand and mitre dry cutters. Designed for cutting stainless steel. Exceptional durability is built in with Bosch Carbide Technology. Bore works with or without reduction rings to fit different sizes. Ideal for cutting stainless steel sheets and edge protectors, e.g. when fitting industrial kitchens and other industrial building areas. Specifications: Outer diameter: 230mm, Bore size: 25.4mm, Width of cut (b1) / Base bl. thickness (b2): 1.9/1.6mm, Number of teeth: 46, Tooth shape: HLTCG, Max. rotation speed: 3300RPM.
The Bosch Professional EXPERT Stainless Steel Circular Saw Blade (230mm) is designed for professionals needing to cut highly abrasive materials like stainless steel. Its key benefit is exceptional durability and wear resistance, ensuring clean cuts without rework. A potential consideration is its specialized nature, meaning it's optimized for stainless steel and may not be the best choice for general-purpose cutting.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main advantage of the HLTCG tooth geometry?
The HLTCG (High-Low Triple Chip Ground) tooth geometry provides a robust and aggressive cut, making it highly effective for tough, abrasive materials like stainless steel.
How does the Proteqtion coating benefit the blade?
The Proteqtion coating prevents corrosion on the blade, reduces friction during cutting, and helps maintain reliable performance over time.
Can this blade be used for cutting other metals besides stainless steel?
While optimized for stainless steel, it may cut other metals, but performance and blade life might be reduced compared to using a blade designed for that specific material. It is not recommended for general-purpose wood or non-ferrous metal cutting.
What is the recommended maximum speed for this blade?
The maximum rotation speed for this blade is 3300 RPM.
How do I ensure the blade fits my saw if the bore size is different?
The blade has a 25.4mm bore size. Use the provided reduction rings to adapt it to saws with different arbor sizes.
What kind of results can I expect on the cut edge?
The blade is designed to produce smooth results without reworking the stainless steel workpiece, minimizing burrs and ensuring a clean finish.
Is this blade suitable for hand-held circular saws?
Yes, it is compatible with hand and mitre dry cutters.
Troubleshooting
Blade cutting is rough or produces burrs.
Ensure the blade is correctly mounted and that the teeth are not worn or damaged. Check that the material being cut is securely clamped and that the saw's speed is appropriate for stainless steel.
Excessive vibration during cutting.
Verify the blade is properly seated on the arbor and that no debris is present between the blade and the flange. Ensure the saw itself is in good working condition.
Blade overheating quickly.
Check for material build-up on the teeth. Ensure the Proteqtion coating is intact. Reduce the feed rate and allow the saw to cool. Ensure the blade's RPM rating is not exceeded.
Corrosion on the blade surface.
Clean the blade thoroughly with a dry cloth and ensure it is stored in a dry environment. The Proteqtion coating helps prevent this, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause issues.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the saw is unplugged before blade installation.
Select the correct reduction ring for your saw's arbor if needed. The 25.4mm bore can accommodate different sizes.
Mount the blade securely onto the saw's spindle, ensuring the teeth are rotating in the correct direction.
Verify the blade's maximum rotation speed (3300 RPM) does not exceed your saw's capabilities.
Compatibility:
Compatible with hand and mitre dry cutters.
Suitable for various stainless steel thicknesses and types.
Care:
Clean the blade after use with a dry cloth to remove debris.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the Proteqtion coating.
Store the blade in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
Regularly inspect the teeth for damage or excessive wear. Replace the blade if significant damage is observed.
