Circular saw blade AWTools AW48450, 120 g

Circular saw blade AWTools AW48450, 120 g, is a replaceable cutting accessory designed for compatible circular saws. The blade is manufactured from high-quality laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth for extended durability and consistent cut quality. Expansion slots reduce heat build-up and help maintain blade flatness under load. The blade is fitted with a 30 mm centre bore and includes 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings for adaptable mounting; 115–125 mm variants use a 22 mm bore. Teeth are arranged with alternating bevels and a 10° positive hook angle, producing a kerf width of approximately 4.5 mm. This configuration supports transverse and angled cuts in hardwoods, wood-based materials and hard plastics, while the lightweight design facilitates handling and installation. Check your saw’s specifications for blade diameter and bore compatibility before fitting.

Advantages

The AWTools AW48450 blade combines a laser-cut carbon steel body with tungsten-carbide teeth to balance strength and edge retention. Expansion slots help disperse heat during prolonged cutting, reducing the risk of deformation and improving cut accuracy. Alternating bevel teeth and a 10° positive hook angle deliver clean crosscuts and controlled feed through a variety of materials. Included reduction rings allow mounting on different arbor sizes, and the lightweight construction simplifies installation and removal.

Suitable for

• Cross-cutting hardwoods and softwoods
• Cutting wood-based panels and laminates
• Trimming and shaping hard plastics
• Use in portable and stationary circular saws (when bore and diameter match)
• General workshop and construction cutting tasks

Key specifications

• Material: laser-cut carbon steel body with tungsten-carbide tipped teeth
• Teeth geometry: alternating bevels, 10° positive hook angle
• Kerf width: approx. 4.5 mm
• Bore: 30 mm with 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings included (115–125 mm blades have 22 mm bore)
• Weight: 120 g
• Heat dispersion: expansion slots to reduce overheating and deformation

How to use

Select the correct blade diameter and bore adapter for your saw, ensuring compatibility with the saw’s maximum RPM and arbor size. Secure the blade on the arbor following the saw manufacturer’s instructions, tightening the flange nut to the specified torque. Use appropriate guards and safety equipment. Feed the workpiece steadily with the saw set to a suitable speed for the material; the alternating bevel teeth and positive hook angle are optimized for cross and angled cuts. After use, inspect the blade for wear or damage and replace if carbide tips are chipped or the blade shows permanent deformation.

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW48450 blade for general-purpose cutting of hardwoods, wood-based materials and hard plastics. Avoid cutting ferrous metals, wet or frozen wood, and materials that produce excessive heat or abrasive dust. Maintain appropriate feed rate and avoid forcing the blade to reduce wear; store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the carbon steel body.
