Full details
This Abracs TCT Circular Saw Blade is designed for woodworkers who need a durable and precise blade for cutting various wood types including softwood, hardwood, plywood, and timber. Its key benefit is extreme wear resistance and a long working life thanks to Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth. A potential caveat is that the 60T configuration offers a finer finish, which may result in a slower cut compared to blades with fewer teeth.

FAQs
What types of wood can this blade cut?
This blade is suited for cutting softwood, hardwood, plywood, and timber.
How do I change the bore size?
The blade comes with 3 bushing washers. Insert the appropriate washer (25mm, 20mm, or 16mm) into the 30mm center hole of the blade to adapt it to smaller saw arbors.
What is the maximum safe speed for this blade?
The maximum recommended speed for this blade is 7000 RPM. Always ensure your saw operates within this limit.
Will this blade give a fast or fine cut?
With 60 teeth, this blade is designed for a medium to fine cut, offering a smoother finish at the cost of cutting speed compared to blades with fewer teeth.
How can I extend the life of the blade?
Keep the blade clean from resin and debris, store it properly in a dry environment, and inspect it for damage regularly. Sharpening when dull will also maintain performance.
Can this blade be used for materials other than wood?
No, this blade is specifically designed for cutting various types of wood and is not intended for use on metal, masonry, or plastics.
Troubleshooting
Blade vibrates excessively during use.
Ensure the blade is securely mounted and the arbor is clean. Check that the saw's flange is not damaged. Verify that the blade itself is not warped or damaged; replace if necessary.
Rough or splintered cuts on wood.
Confirm the blade is sharp and free of resin buildup. Check that the correct blade type (fine cut) is being used for the material. Ensure the blade is securely tightened and the saw is operating at the appropriate speed.
Blade does not fit the saw arbor.
Verify the bore size of the blade (30mm) matches your saw's arbor or use the appropriate included bushing washer to adapt the bore size.
Blade gets hot quickly during cuts.
This can indicate dull teeth, excessive resin buildup, or trying to cut too fast. Clean the blade, sharpen if necessary, and ensure you are using proper cutting technique and speed for the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability and long lifespan due to tungsten carbide tips.
- Provides a clean, medium-to-fine finish suitable for various woodworking projects.
- High precision and accuracy thanks to the hardened plate.
- Adaptable to multiple saw models with included bushing washers.
- Resistant to warping due to integrated expansion slots.
Cons
- The high tooth count (60T) may result in a slower cutting speed compared to lower-tooth-count blades.
- Primarily designed for wood; not suitable for metal or masonry.
- Requires a compatible circular saw or mitre saw with a 30mm or adaptable bore.
- Maximum RPM of 7000; exceeding this limit can be dangerous and damage the blade.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the circular saw or mitre saw is unplugged.
- Remove the old blade according to your saw's manual.
- Select the appropriate bushing washer if needed. For a 30mm bore saw, no washer is required. For smaller bores, insert the correct bushing (25mm, 20mm, or 16mm) into the blade's 30mm center hole.
- Mount the blade onto the saw's arbor, ensuring the teeth are oriented correctly for the direction of rotation (usually indicated by an arrow on the blade).
- Secure the blade using the saw's flange and locking mechanism.
Compatibility:
- Machine Type: Primarily designed for Mitre Saws and Circular Saws.
- Diameter: 216mm.
- Bore Size: 30mm (standard). Adaptable to 25mm, 20mm, or 16mm using the included bushing washers.
- Maximum RPM: 7000 RPM. Always ensure your saw's RPM does not exceed this.
Care:
- Keep the blade clean from resin and debris. Use a resin remover or a stiff brush.
- Store the blade in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a blade protector, to prevent damage and rust.
- Avoid contact with water to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect the blade regularly for any signs of damage, such as chipped teeth or cracks. Replace immediately if damaged.
