Circular saw blade AWTools AW48452, weight 120 g

AWTools AW48452 circular saw blade is a lightweight replaceable cutting accessory designed for use with compatible circular saws and cutting machines. Made of laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth, the blade combines a durable body and wear-resistant cutting edges. Expansion slots reduce heat buildup and help maintain flatness during continuous cutting. Supplied with a 30 mm bore and included reduction rings for 22 mm and 16 mm mounting diameters; 115–125 mm variants feature a 22 mm bore. The blade is intended for transverse and angled cuts in hardwood, engineered wood products and hard plastics where a 4.5 mm kerf and a 10° positive hook angle are appropriate.

Advantages

The laser-cut carbon steel body provides dimensional stability and consistent concentricity, while tungsten-carbide teeth retain sharpness longer than plain steel tips, delivering improved cut quality and longer service intervals. Expansion slots dissipate heat to reduce the risk of warping under load. Alternating bevel teeth with a 10° positive hook angle offer efficient material removal and clean crosscuts. Included reduction rings make the blade adaptable to different arbor sizes without additional tools.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and angled cuts in hardwood
• Cutting wood-based panels and plywood
• Working with hard plastics and composite sheet materials
• Use on stationary table saws and portable circular saws

How to use

Fit the AWTools AW48452 blade onto a compatible saw spindle, selecting and installing the appropriate reduction ring if required to ensure a secure fit. Verify correct blade rotation direction and tighten the arbor flange according to the saw manufacturer's torque recommendations. Use the blade for straight, cross and angled cuts in hardwood, wood-based panels and hard plastics, observing recommended feed rates and blade speeds for the material to avoid excessive heat. Inspect the blade before use for any damage and replace if teeth are chipped or the body is warped.

Usage recommendations

Operate the blade at the saw speed and feed rate appropriate for the material being cut, use proper guards and push-sticks when required, and allow the blade to cool between prolonged cutting operations to maintain flatness and cutting performance. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
