Circular Saw Blades (Sizes: 500-600mm)

Extra large blades are used in industrial saws for deep cuts in heavy timber, beams and logs.  They require powerful motors and stable saws to operate safely.

What are large-format circular saw blades used for?
Blades in the 500 mm to 600 mm range are engineered for high-capacity cutting in industrial panel saws, beam saws, and special-purpose machines. They are ideal for cutting:

• Thick timber beams and large hardwood slabs

• Laminated boards, plywood packs, and MDF sheets

• Plastic panels, composites, and non-ferrous metals (with the right blade configuration)
  These blades are common in manufacturing plants, sawmills, and production lines where precision and throughput are essential.

What should I consider when choosing a blade in this size range?
Key factors include:

• Machine compatibility – verify that your saw is rated for the blade's diameter and RPM

• Bore size – often 30 mm, 60 mm, or 80 mm, sometimes with pinholes for flange alignment

• Tooth count –

  • 80T–120T for timber and board material

  • 140T+ for ultra-fine panel cutting

• Tooth geometry –

  • TCG (Triple Chip Grind) for laminates and aluminum

  • ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) for timber and veneered panels

  • Flat top or high-ATB for glue-line rips or smooth finish cuts

How do I safely maintain and use large-diameter saw blades?

• Only use on machines designed to handle the size and speed of these blades

• Check blade balance, alignment, and flange pressure before every use

• Inspect for cracked teeth, warping, or excessive resin buildup regularly

• Clean using a non-corrosive blade cleaner to maintain sharpness and reduce heat

• Replace immediately if you notice cutting burn marks, excessive noise, or vibration
