Dart Wood Circular Saw Blade - 250 mm x 40 Teeth x 30 mm

This blade is suitable for cutting a wide range of wood materials including softwood, hardwood, particle board, MDF, hardboard, and plywood.

ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel. This tooth geometry is designed for fast, efficient cutting in general woodworking applications across various wood types.

You will need a reducing ring if your circular saw's spindle diameter is smaller than the blade's 30 mm bore size. Reducing rings adapt the blade's bore to fit different spindle sizes.

Yes, this blade is suitable for cutting wood that may contain nails. However, cutting through nails will dull the teeth faster and may increase the risk of kickback. Use with caution.

The kerf (2.8 mm) is the width of the cut the blade makes, while the body thickness (2.0 mm) is the thickness of the main blade plate. A thinner kerf requires less power and produces less dust, but a thicker body can offer more stability.

Keep the blade clean from resin and debris using a suitable cleaner. Store it in a dry place, preferably in a protective case. Inspect regularly for damage and ensure it remains sharp.

Check that the blade is correctly seated on the spindle, that the reamed bore is clean, and that the mounting nut is securely tightened. Ensure the blade itself is not warped or damaged.

Ensure the blade is sharp and free from resin buildup. Check the feed rate; a too-fast or too-slow feed rate can cause poor finish. Verify the blade is suitable for the material being cut and that the saw is operating at the correct RPM.

Check the blade's cutting width (kerf) against the saw's riving knife or anti-kickback pawls if fitted. Ensure the material being cut is properly supported and not flexing. A dull blade or incorrect feed rate can also contribute to binding.

Verify the bore size of the blade (30 mm) and the spindle size of your saw. Use the appropriate reducing ring if the spindle is smaller than the bore.
