Product Information

Full details

This Bosch Professional EXPERT circular saw blade is designed for professionals who frequently cut fibre cement materials. Its key benefit is exceptional durability and a long lifetime, ensuring consistent performance on demanding jobs. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, making it less suitable for general-purpose wood cutting. This blade features Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) teeth for superior hardness and longevity, a TCG (Triple Chip Grind) for robustness, and an anti-vibration design for smoother, quieter operation.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of PCD teeth?

PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) teeth are extremely hard and wear-resistant, providing a significantly longer lifespan and maintaining cutting performance over time, especially in abrasive materials like fibre cement.

Can this blade be used for cutting wood?

While it might cut wood, this blade is specifically engineered for fibre cement. Using it on wood will not provide optimal results and may lead to premature wear of the specialized teeth.

How do the anti-vibration slots work?

The slots are precisely engineered to absorb vibrations generated during cutting. This leads to smoother operation, reduced noise, and less fatigue for the user.

What does TCG stand for?

TCG stands for Triple Chip Grind. This tooth configuration involves alternating between a flat-top tooth and a chamfered tooth, providing a robust and efficient cut suitable for hard materials.

What is the maximum speed this blade can handle?

The maximum rotation speed for this blade is 6200 RPM. Always ensure your power tool does not exceed this limit.

How should I clean the blade after use?

Wipe the blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they may affect the Proteqtion coating. Ensure the blade is completely dry before storing.

Does the blade come with reduction rings?

The specifications mention the bore works with or without reduction rings. Please check the product packaging or listing for specific inclusion of reduction rings.

Troubleshooting

Blade is not cutting cleanly through fibre cement.

Ensure the blade is securely fastened and rotating in the correct direction. Check for any buildup of material on the teeth and clean if necessary. Verify the saw's RPM does not exceed the blade's maximum limit.

Excessive vibration or noise during operation.

Confirm the blade is correctly mounted and balanced. Check for any damage to the anti-vibration slots. Ensure the saw is functioning properly and not experiencing issues that could transfer to the blade.

Blade shows premature wear or chipping.

Avoid cutting materials other than fibre cement. Ensure consistent feed rate and avoid forcing the blade through the material. Inspect the fibre cement for embedded hard particles that could damage the PCD teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and long tool life when cutting fibre cement.
  • Reduced vibration and noise for improved user comfort and precision.
  • Clean and efficient cuts due to the specialized tooth design and coating.
  • Robust construction ensures reliability on demanding job sites.
  • PCD teeth offer superior cutting performance over extended periods.

Cons

  • Highly specialized for fibre cement; not optimal for general wood cutting.
  • Higher initial cost compared to general-purpose saw blades.
  • Requires appropriate safety gear and machine compatibility for optimal use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the circular saw is unplugged before attaching or removing the blade.
  2. Verify that the blade's bore size matches your saw's spindle, or use the appropriate reduction ring if needed.
  3. Securely tighten the blade using the saw's flange nuts.
  4. Ensure the blade is installed with the correct rotation direction indicated on the blade.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with mitre saws and sliding mitre saws.
  • Suitable for use with machines that do not exceed the maximum rotation speed of 6200 RPM.

Care:

  • Keep the blade clean from dust and debris, especially from fibre cement residue.
  • Inspect the PCD teeth for any damage before each use.
  • Store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the Proteqtion coating.
  • Avoid using the blade for materials it is not designed for, as this can dull the teeth prematurely.
