Circular Saw Blades (Sizes: 170-235mm)

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.
