The Saxton Blades TCT Circular Saw Blade is designed for professional contractors and metalworkers who require a high-precision, durable cutting solution for ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With its hardened and tempered tungsten carbide tips, this blade offers a superior clean cut through steel, aluminium, and copper. While it provides excellent performance for metal applications, users should ensure their saw speed is appropriate for metal cutting to prevent premature blade dulling or overheating.

This blade is specifically engineered for metal. While it might cut wood, it is not optimized for it and may cause burning or poor finish.
Yes, this 160mm blade is fully compatible with most circular saws designed for 165mm blades.
It is designed for standard steel and non-ferrous metals like aluminium and copper; stainless steel is significantly harder and may require a specialized cold-saw blade.
Always wear impact-resistant safety goggles, ear protection, and gloves, as metal cutting generates sharp shavings and high noise levels.
Using a metal-cutting lubricant or cutting fluid can significantly extend the life of the blade and improve the quality of the finish.
Reduce your feed rate and ensure you are not forcing the saw through the material too quickly.
Check that the blade is properly seated on the arbor and that the arbor nut is tightened securely.
Verify that your saw is set to the correct RPM for metal cutting and that you are not using the blade on hardened steel or incompatible materials.
To install, ensure your saw is disconnected from its power source. Remove the existing blade, ensuring the arbor flange is clean of debris, and mount the Saxton blade with the teeth pointing in the direction of the saw's rotation. This blade is compatible with many professional models from Festool, Bosch, Makita, and Dewalt that accept 160mm or 165mm blades.
To maintain the blade, store it in a dry, moisture-free environment to prevent corrosion. Periodically clean the blade with a specialized resin and metal-dust remover to keep the gullets free from buildup, which can cause heat friction.
