These medium sized blades are common on portable circular saws. Available in rip, crosscut and combination tooth patterns, they handle framing lumber, softwood and hardwood with ease.
What are circular saw blades in this size range used for?
Blades between 170 mm and 235 mm are commonly used in corded circular saws, plunge saws, and table saws for:
Ripping and crosscutting timber
Sheet goods (plywood, OSB, MDF, melamine)
Laminates, plastics, and certain non-ferrous metals (with the correct tooth configuration)
They’re ideal for construction, framing, decking, cabinetry, and general workshop cutting tasks.
How do I choose the right blade for my material and tool?
Key selection factors include:
Blade diameter – check your saw’s manual for the max supported size (commonly 184 mm, 210 mm, or 235 mm)
Bore size – typical bores are 16 mm, 20 mm, or 30 mm; use reducer rings if needed
Tooth count –
18–24T: fast ripping
40–60T: clean crosscuts
80T+: fine finish and laminate
Tooth geometry –
ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) for wood
TCG (Triple Chip Grind) for laminates and aluminum
Flat top for ripping
Kerf – thin kerf for fast cuts and less load; full kerf for durability and precision
How can I tell when a circular saw blade needs replacing?
Replace the blade if:
You notice burn marks, chipping, or tear-out on the material
The saw is binding, vibrating, or cutting slower than usual
The blade has dull, chipped, or missing teeth
You hear unusual noise or see wobble during operation
Regular blade cleaning (resin remover or degreaser) can extend blade life, but always prioritize sharpness and safety.
