Circular Saw Blades (Sizes: 32-165mm)

Small diameter circular saw blades suit compact saws and trim work.  Thin kerfs reduce power consumption and deliver smooth cuts in plywood, laminate and softwoods.

What types of materials can I cut with small to mid-size circular saw blades?
Blades in the 32 mm to 165 mm range are commonly used in compact circular saws, plunge saws, and cordless tools. Depending on the tooth configuration and material, they can cut:

  • Wood and plywood (general-purpose or fine finish blades)

  • Laminates and MDF (high tooth-count or TCG blades)

  • Aluminum and plastics (specialized non-ferrous blades)

  • Mild steel (with carbide-tipped, dry-cutting metal blades)
    Always match the blade type, TPI (teeth per inch), and material to your cutting needs.

How do I choose the right blade for my saw and application?
Consider the following:

  • Blade diameter (e.g. 85 mm, 115 mm, 165 mm) – must match your saw's capacity

  • Bore size – common sizes include 10 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm, and 30 mm; use reducers if needed

  • Tooth count – fewer teeth (e.g. 18–24) for fast ripping; more teeth (e.g. 40–60+) for smooth crosscuts

  • Tooth geometry – ATB (alternate top bevel) for wood, TCG (triple chip grind) for laminate/metal

  • Kerf width – thin kerf blades are ideal for cordless saws to reduce load and extend battery life

When should I replace a circular saw blade?
You should replace the blade when:

  • Cuts become rough, splintered, or burn the material

  • The saw struggles or bogs down, especially in softwood

  • Teeth are chipped, dull, or missing

  • The blade wobbles, warps, or vibrates during use
    Regular cleaning can extend blade life, but a sharp, clean blade is key to safe, precise, and efficient cutting.
