FAQs

What types of wood can this blade cut?

This blade is suitable for cutting softwood, hardwood, plywood, and general timber applications.

How do I change the bore size?

The blade includes 3 bushing washers. Simply insert the appropriate washer into the 30mm bore to adapt it to 25mm, 20mm, or 16mm spindle sizes.

What does '48T' mean?

T stands for teeth. A 48-tooth blade is generally used for achieving a finer finish compared to blades with fewer teeth.

How can I extend the life of this blade?

Keep the blade clean, store it properly, avoid forcing cuts, and ensure proper support for the material. Regular inspection for dullness or damage is also recommended.

Is this blade suitable for metal or plastic?

No, this blade is specifically designed for cutting wood products only.

What is the maximum safe speed for this blade?

The maximum RPM specified for this blade is 8500. Always ensure your saw's operating RPM does not exceed this limit.

What is the kerf thickness?

The kerf thickness is 2.3mm, which is the width of the cut the blade makes.

Troubleshooting

Blade is vibrating excessively

Ensure the blade is securely fastened to the arbor. Check for any damage to the teeth or plate. Make sure the saw's arbor is not damaged.

Blade is not cutting cleanly

Clean the blade of any resin or sawdust build-up. Check if the blade is dull; consider sharpening or replacement if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct blade for the material and cutting speed.

Blade seems to be binding or kicking back

Ensure the material being cut is properly supported. Avoid twisting the saw while cutting. Check that the blade is not warped and that the Anti Kick Back feature is not obstructed.

Difficulty fitting blade to saw arbor

Verify you are using the correct bushing washer for your saw's spindle size. Ensure the arbor is clean and free of debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extended blade life due to Tungsten carbide teeth.
  • Versatile cutting capabilities across different wood types.
  • Improved safety with Anti Kick Back feature.
  • Precision accuracy maintained by a hardened plate.
  • Adaptable bore size with included bushing washers.

Cons

  • May require a specific saw model to achieve optimal performance.
  • The 48T count is best for medium/fine finishes; not ideal for rough, fast cuts.
  • Requires proper safety precautions during use, like any power tool accessory.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the circular saw is unplugged and the work area is clear.
  2. Select the appropriate bushing washer for your saw's spindle (30mm, 25mm, 20mm, or 16mm).
  3. Mount the blade onto the saw's arbor, ensuring the teeth are rotating in the correct direction.
  4. Secure the blade with the saw's flange and locking mechanism.

Compatibility:

This 184mm blade is compatible with most circular saws designed to accept this diameter and bore size. Always check your saw's specifications.

Care:

  • Keep the blade clean. Remove sawdust and resin build-up with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Store the blade in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a blade case, to prevent damage and rust.
  • Avoid excessive force or forcing the blade through material, as this can damage the teeth or cause kickback.
  • Regularly inspect the teeth for any signs of damage or dulling. A dull blade reduces cutting efficiency and increases risk.
