OVERVIEW
A blade for your wood-cutting jobs
Cut wood, plywood, MDF and suitable furniture boards with a 160 mm, 48-tooth TCT saw blade. The 20 mm bore, cutting width, blade thickness and speed rating must match your saw’s requirements.
TCT cutting teeth
Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth for the woodworking applications listed here.
Teflon coating
A non-stick surface designed to reduce friction and resin build-up on the blade body.
Anti-vibration slots
Designed to reduce blade vibration during cutting. Expansion slots allow for expansion as the blade heats up.
A suitable blade, stable workpiece support and controlled feed all contribute to the finished cut.

APPLICATIONS & COMPATIBILITY
Match the blade to your material and machine
Materials
Wood, plywood, MDF and suitable furniture boards. The finish depends on the board surface, tooth geometry, feed rate and workpiece support. Contact us if you need a particular finish on a laminated board.
Machine fitting
Check your saw’s approved blade diameter, 20 mm bore, cutting width, body thickness, rotation direction and speed. The bore alone does not confirm compatibility with a particular saw model.
This woodworking blade is not intended for concrete or masonry. Use the machine’s guard and appropriate protective equipment, and follow the instructions supplied with the blade and your saw.

Questions before you buy
Will this blade fit my saw?
Your saw must accept a 160 mm blade with a 20 mm bore. Check the permitted cutting width, body thickness, rotation direction and speed too. Send us your saw model if you need help checking.
What materials can I cut with it?
Wood, plywood, MDF and suitable furniture boards. Choose the blade and cutting method for your material and the finish you need. It is not a concrete or masonry blade.
Is it suitable for laminated boards and plywood?
Plywood is one of the listed applications. Laminated surfaces need particular attention to tooth geometry, support and cutting technique to limit chipping. Tell us which board you are cutting so we can help check the choice before purchase.
What difference does the number of teeth make?
Tooth count affects cutting speed and finish. Within comparable blade sizes and designs, fewer teeth are generally used for faster ripping, while more teeth can suit crosscuts and finer finishing. More teeth are not automatically better for every job.
What does the coating do?
The non-stick coating is designed to reduce friction and resin build-up. It does not make the blade heatproof: the blade can still become hot during use.
What are the anti-vibration slots for?
They are designed to reduce vibration during cutting. Correct mounting, a sharp blade and stable support for the material remain important.
Why can a cut leave burn marks or chipped edges?
Possible causes include a dirty or blunt blade, unsuitable tooth geometry, incorrect feed rate or poor workpiece support. Stop and check the blade, machine setup and material before continuing if cutting behaviour changes.
Can this blade be sharpened?
TCT blades can often be professionally sharpened, depending on the remaining carbide and the condition of the blade. A sharpening specialist should inspect it first; a damaged blade is not automatically suitable for sharpening.
