This Saxton Blades Thin Kerf TCT Circular Saw Blade is designed for professionals and serious DIYers seeking a clean, efficient cut, especially on cordless saws. Its key benefit is the thin kerf design, which reduces material waste and strain on the saw motor, leading to longer battery life. A potential caveat is that its specialized design might not be optimal for rough demolition work where blade durability over cut quality is paramount. The blade features a hardened steel body for accuracy and tungsten carbide teeth for durability, with an ATB tooth design to minimize splintering on various wood and plastic materials.

A thin kerf blade removes less material with each pass, requiring less power. This is especially beneficial for cordless saws as it conserves battery life, allowing for more cuts per charge. It also reduces material waste.
TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. These tips are significantly harder and more durable than standard steel teeth, providing a longer-lasting sharp edge and better resistance to heat and wear.
ATB stands for Alternating Top Bevel. This tooth geometry involves teeth that are angled alternately left and right. This design scores the wood surface ahead of the cut, cleanly severing wood fibers before the teeth remove the chip, resulting in a smoother finish with less splintering.
Yes, this blade is suitable for both along the grain (ripping) and cross-cutting a variety of wood and plastic materials due to its versatile tooth design and general-purpose tooth count.
It is suitable for softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, multi-board panels, MDF, plated & counter-plated panels, laminated & bi-laminate plastic, and fibre-reinforced plastic.
The blade has a 165mm diameter and a 20mm bore. Reduction rings are included to adapt it to a 16mm bore. Ensure your saw uses a 165mm blade and check your saw's arbor size to determine if you need the reduction rings.
Keep the blade clean from resin buildup using a suitable cleaner. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid dropping the blade. If cutting performance degrades, the teeth may need professional sharpening or the blade may need replacement.
Ensure the blade is correctly mounted on the arbor with the correct bore size. Check that the reduction rings are properly seated and that the blade is fully tightened against the flanges. Inspect the saw's arbor for damage.
Verify the blade is installed in the correct direction of rotation. Ensure the wood is properly supported and clamped. Check if the blade teeth are dull or damaged; consider sharpening or replacement. The ATB design works best with a slower feed rate.
Confirm the blade is not too thick for the material or the saw's power. Ensure the kerf is not getting pinched in the material, especially on longer cuts. Support the workpiece adequately. For cordless saws, check battery level as low power can cause stalling.
Check for a bent blade body or damaged teeth. Ensure the blade is securely fastened and running true on the arbor. Clean any buildup on the blade and flanges.
Compatibility:
This 165mm blade is designed to fit most cordless and corded circular saws requiring a 165mm blade. It comes with a 20mm bore size.
