Precision Circular Saw Blades | Custom & Standard Sizes

• For ripping (cutting with the wood grain), use a blade with fewer teeth (e.g., 24-tooth) for fast, aggressive cuts.

• For cross-cutting (cutting across the grain), use a blade with more teeth (e.g., 60-tooth or 80-tooth) for a smooth, clean finish.

• For a general-purpose blade, a 40-50 tooth combination blade is a great all-rounder.

• Always match the blade to your material: use specific blades for wood, metal, laminate, or masonr

A: The “kerf” is the width of the cut the blade makes.

• Full-Kerf Blades: Thicker (usually ~1/8″). They are more rigid and resistant to bending, ideal for powerful table saws and cutting hardwoods. They produce a wider cut and remove more material.

• Thin-Kerf Blades: Thinner (usually ~3/32″). They require less power from your saw, reduce material waste, and are perfect for lower-horsepower saws like benchtop or cordless models.

A: As a general rule:

• Fewer Teeth (10-30): Faster, rougher cuts; ideal for ripping lumber.

• Medium Teeth (40-50): A good balance for combination/general-purpose work.

• More Teeth (60-100+): Smoother, slower cuts; essential for fine woodworking, cross-cutting, and cutting materials like plywood or laminate without chipping.

We do not recommend it. Blades for wood are designed with a specific tooth geometry and carbide grade for cutting fibrous materials. Using them on metal can damage the teeth, create a significant safety hazard, and ruin your workpiece. Always use a blade specifically designed for the material, such as our carbide-tipped metal cutting blades or abrasive cut-off blades.

A: These acronyms describe the tooth grind, which determines the cutting action:

• FTG (Flat Top Grind): Best for fast, aggressive ripping.

• ATB (Alternate Top Bevel): Teeth are angled left and right for a cleaner, shearing cut across the grain. Excellent for cross-cutting and finish work.

• TCG (Triple Chip Grind): A durable grind ideal for hard materials like laminate, plastics, non-ferrous metals, and materials that are prone to chipping.

Replace or sharpen your blade when you notice:

• Increased effort required to push the material.

• Burning marks on the wood.

• Rougher-than-usual cuts.

• Visible chipping or dullness on the carbide teeth.
  A high-quality blade like ours can often be professionally sharpened several times before needing replacement, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.

A: Yes, absolutely! Our custom circular saw blade service is a core part of our business. We can manufacture blades to your exact specifications, including:

• Custom diameters and arbor holes.

• Specific tooth count and grind (ATB, TCG, etc.).

• Specialized kerf widths.

• Premium carbide grades for exotic materials.

• Private labeling for professional shops.
