Saxton Blades Circular Saw Blade - 185mm x 80T x 30mm Bore
Professional quality hardened and tempered tungsten carbide tipped circular saw blade. Ideal for a...Professional quality hardened and tempered tungsten carbide tipped circular saw blade. Ideal for along the grain and cross-cutting on softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, multi-board panels, MDF, plated & counter-plated panels, laminated & bi-laminate plastic, and fibre-reinforced plastic. Providing a quality finished edge. The blade has a 185mm diameter, 80 teeth, and a 30mm bore, with included 16, 20, and 25mm reduction rings. It features a 2.4mm kerf (thickness of cut). The fully hardened steel blade body delivers accuracy and resists bending and deflection for true cuts. Tungsten carbide teeth provide excellent wear and heat resistance. The positive cutting angle provides fast and efficient removal of chips and swarf. Incorporates an ATB (Alternating Top Bevel) offset tooth design. The angle of the tooth scores the surface of the wood in advance of the cut, cleanly cutting the wood fibres before the following teeth remove the chip. This provides for a much smoother cut, with much less chance of splintering the surface of the wood. Compatible with Dewalt Bosch, Makita, Ryobi and any other circular saws which use a 185mm blade with a 30, 25, 20 or 16mm bore (reduction rings included). Also suitable for 184mm circular saws. Suitable for table saws, mitre/chop saws and hand held circular saws.
