FAQs
What types of wood can this blade cut?
This blade is designed for general-purpose cutting of softwoods and some hardwoods. It is also suitable for exotic timbers.
Can I use this blade for fine finishing cuts?
No, this blade is intended for rough to coarse cuts and is not ideal for achieving a fine, smooth finish. For fine finishes, a blade with a higher tooth count would be more appropriate.
What does TCT mean?
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. This indicates that the cutting edges of the teeth are tipped with a very hard material, providing increased durability and longevity compared to standard steel blades.
How do I ensure compatibility with my saw?
The blade has a 30mm bore. It includes 16mm and 20mm bushing rings, allowing it to fit saws with these common arbor sizes. Ensure your saw accepts a 190mm (7-inch) blade.
What is the purpose of the different bushing rings?
The bushing rings reduce the central bore of the blade to match the specific arbor size of your circular saw, ensuring a secure and accurate fit.
How should I maintain the blade?
Keep the blade clean and dry. Remove sawdust after use. Store it in a protective case to prevent damage and rust. Regularly inspect teeth for wear or damage.
What is the kerf of the blade?
The kerf, which is the width of the cut made by the blade, is 2.4mm.
Troubleshooting
Blade binding or snagging during cut
Ensure the blade is correctly installed and running in the correct direction. Check for obstructions in the material or blade. Verify the blade is not warped and is the correct type for the material being cut. Make sure the saw's guard is functioning properly.
Excessive vibration during operation
Check that the blade is securely tightened to the arbor. Ensure the blade is not bent or warped. Clean any debris from the blade and arbor. Verify that the saw's motor is functioning correctly.
Rough or splintered cut edges
This is expected for a coarse-cut blade. For cleaner edges, consider using a finer-toothed blade. Ensure the material is adequately supported and cut with a steady, consistent speed. For hardwoods, a slower feed rate might improve the finish. You may need to sand the edges after cutting.
Blade dulls quickly
Ensure you are using the blade for its intended purpose (timber and stone fibre board). Avoid cutting through nails or foreign objects. If significant wear is observed, it may be time to replace the blade.
