FAQs

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed for fine and precise cutting of wood and similar materials, including plasterboard and aerated concrete.

What is TCT?

TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. These tips are harder and more durable than standard steel, allowing the blade to stay sharper for longer and cut through tougher materials.

How do I know which reduction ring to use?

Check the arbor size of your saw. The blade comes with reduction rings for 25mm, 20mm, and 16mm arbors. Select the ring that matches your saw's shaft size.

Is this blade suitable for aggressive, fast cutting?

With 80 teeth, this blade is optimized for fine, precise cuts. For very rapid, rough cutting, a blade with fewer teeth might be more appropriate.

Can this blade be resharpened?

Yes, TCT blades can be resharpened, but it requires specialized equipment and expertise to maintain the integrity of the carbide tips. It is recommended to use a professional sharpening service.

What is the maximum safe speed for this blade?

The blade is designed to operate at a maximum speed of 5500 RPM.

Troubleshooting

Blade vibrates excessively during use.

Check that the blade is securely fastened to the arbor and that the arbor is clean. Ensure the blade is not warped or damaged.

Rough or splintered cuts.

Verify the blade is installed in the correct direction of rotation. Ensure the blade is sharp and free from debris. Check for saw stability and proper feed rate.

Blade does not fit the saw arbor.

Confirm you are using the correct reduction ring for your saw's arbor size. Ensure no debris is present on the arbor or the reduction ring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the saw is unplugged before blade installation.
  2. Select the appropriate reduction ring for your saw's arbor size (25mm, 20mm, or 16mm).
  3. Place the blade onto the saw's arbor, ensuring the direction of rotation arrow on the blade matches the saw's rotation.
  4. Secure the blade firmly with the saw's blade washer and nut.

Compatibility:

This blade is compatible with any circular saw, miter saw, or chop saw that accepts a 250mm diameter blade and has an arbor size of 25mm, 20mm, or 16mm (using the provided reduction rings).

Care:

  • Keep the blade clean from resin and debris to maintain cutting efficiency.
  • Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust.
  • Avoid hitting nails or foreign objects, which can damage the TCT tips.
  • For dulling, professional sharpening services are recommended to preserve the carbide tips.
