Circular saw blades for wood

Every circular saw blade for woodworking consists of several components that affect performance and cut quality. The main characteristics of saw blades are:

• Diameter: The diameter of a saw blade determines how deep the saw can cut. Common diameters are 160 mm, 184 mm and 230 mm for handheld circular saws, but it is important to choose a blade that is compatible with the saw machine.
• Tooth configuration: The shape, number and arrangement of the teeth are crucial to cut quality and speed. Coarse-toothed blades are better for fast cutting of wood, while fine-toothed blades give a smoother finish.
• Saw blade thickness (Kerf): This refers to the width of the cut the blade makes. Thicker blades are sturdier and less likely to bend, but require more power from the sawyer. Thinner blades cut faster and use less power, but can be more sensitive to vibration.
• Axis hole: This is the hole in the center of the saw blade that fits the saw machine. The size should match the axis of your circular saw. Common sizes are 16 mm and 30 mm, but adapters are available to use smaller or larger saw blades.

Different types of wood saw blades

Choosing the right wood saw blade depends greatly on the material you will be cutting and the type of cut you want to achieve. Below we discuss the most common types of wood saw blades for cutting wood and panel materials. Wood saw blades are specifically designed for cutting different types of wood, such as soft and hard wood, MDF, plywood and (laminated) chipboard. There are three main types of wood saw blades:

• Coarse-toothed blades: These blades have fewer teeth, usually between 16 and 24, and are used for fast cutting of wood. They are ideal for rough work such as cutting boards or beams.
• Fine-toothed blades: These blades have between 40 and 60 teeth and provide a smooth finish. They are perfect for cutting laminate or plywood, where a clean edge without splinters is desired.
• Combination blades: These blades have a balanced number of teeth and can be used for both fast and precise cutting. They are a versatile choice for general woodworking jobs.

Maintenance of wood circular saw blades

Maintaining a wood circular saw blade properly is essential to getting the most out of your cutting. Here are some tips for maintenance:

• Clean regularly: Resin and sawdust can build up on the teeth of the saw blade, making the blade cut less efficiently. Clean your circular saw blade for wood regularly with a special cleaner to remove accumulated residue.
• Sharpen the teeth: If your wood saw blade is blunt, you can have it sharpened. Carbide teeth in particular can be sharpened several times before the blade needs to be replaced. You can learn more about sharpening circular saw blades on our sharpening page.
• Avoid overheating: Make sure you cut at the correct speed and pressure. Overheating can lead to blade deformation and a loss of cutting precision.
