Circular saw blade AWTools AW484551 — 130 g general-purpose blade

The AWTools AW484551 — 130 g general-purpose circular saw blade is a compact replacement blade designed for woodworking and light construction tasks. Made of laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth, the blade balances low weight and durability for routine cutting of hardwood, wood-based panels and hard plastics. Expansion slots reduce heat build-up and help maintain blade flatness during sustained cutting, while the alternating bevel tooth geometry and 10° positive hook angle support clean transverse and angled cuts.

Advantages

This circular saw blade combines a laser-cut carbon-steel body with tungsten-carbide tipped teeth for extended edge life and consistent cutting quality. Expansion slots dissipate heat to reduce the risk of warping. The alternating bevel tooth configuration and positive hook angle improve chip removal and deliver smoother cut surfaces. Supplied with a 30 mm bore and two reduction rings, the blade adapts to common arbor sizes, increasing compatibility with a wide range of saws.

Suitable for

• Cross-cutting and angled cuts in hardwood
• Cutting wood-based panels such as plywood and MDF
• Trimming and cutting hard plastics
• Replacement blade use in portable and stationary circular saws

Key specifications

• Material: laser-cut carbon steel body with tungsten-carbide tipped teeth
• Teeth geometry: alternating bevels with 10° positive hook angle
• Kerf width: approximately 4.5 mm
• Expansion slots for heat dispersion
• Bore options: 30 mm bore with included 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings (note: 115–125 mm blades use 22 mm bore)
• Weight: approximately 130 g

How to use

Confirm that the blade diameter and bore fit your saw and that the reduction rings are correctly installed if needed. Securely mount the blade following the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct rotation direction and tightness of the arbor nut. Use appropriate feed rates and blade guards when cutting. Allow the blade to come to full speed before engaging the material and avoid forcing the feed to preserve tooth life and maintain cut quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, check blade tightness periodically, and avoid prolonged continuous cuts that can overheat the blade. For best results on hardwood and sheet materials, use steady, moderate feed speed and keep the blade free of resin or debris.
