Circular saw blade Art-Pol 160 x 30 mm, 40 carbide teeth (model AR42164-30)

Circular saw blade Art-Pol 160 x 30 mm, 40 carbide teeth is a tungsten-carbide tipped blade designed for cutting wood and wood-based panels. With a 160 mm diameter and 30 mm arbor hole, the blade is made to fit table saws and miter saws that accept a 30 mm arbor. The 40 carbide teeth geometry balances cutting speed and finish quality, making it suitable for both crosscutting and ripping operations on timber and panel materials. Durable carbide tips provide extended life and stable cutting performance under typical workshop and construction site conditions.

Advantages

The blade's carbide-tipped teeth ensure longer service life compared with high-speed steel alternatives and maintain sharpness through repeated use. A 40-tooth configuration offers a compromise between smooth edge finish and efficient material removal, reducing tear-out on crosscuts while still allowing acceptable feed rates for ripping. The standardized 30 mm bore and 160 mm diameter make the blade compatible with a range of common table and miter saw models, facilitating straightforward replacement and setup.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwoods and hardwoods to achieve a cleaner edge
• Ripping boards and panels with consistent feed
• Cutting plywood, MDF and particleboard for furniture and cabinetry
• Workshop and on-site carpentry tasks requiring a 160 mm blade with 30 mm arbor

Key specifications

• Diameter: 160 mm
• Arbor/bore diameter: 30 mm
• Teeth: 40 carbide-tipped teeth
• Material suitability: timber, plywood, MDF, particleboard
• Tooth material: tungsten carbide tips

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible table saw or miter saw with a 30 mm arbor, ensuring the saw is unplugged or the power is switched off before fitting. Check that the blade rotation direction matches the saw's arrow marking and secure the blade with the appropriate flange and nut to the manufacturer's torque specification. Use appropriate feed rate and blade height for the material being cut: for crosscuts, reduce feed speed to improve edge quality; for ripping, use steady consistent feed. Always use correct push sticks, feather boards, or other safety accessories when cutting narrow or small pieces.

Usage recommendations

Maintain blade life by keeping carbide tips clean from pitch and resin buildup; use a suitable blade cleaner if necessary and inspect teeth for damage before each use. For optimal results, pair the blade with appropriate saw fence alignment and a sharp, steady feed. Always wear eye and hearing protection and follow machine safety guidelines when operating saws.
