Circular saw blade AWTools AW484611, 420 g weight

AWTools AW484611 circular saw blade, weighing approximately 420 g, is a laser-cut carbon steel blade with tungsten-carbide teeth designed for use on compatible circular saws. The blade includes expansion slots to reduce heat build-up and minimize deformation during extended cutting. It features alternating bevel teeth with a 10° positive hook angle and an approximate kerf width of 4.5 mm. The blade is supplied with a 30 mm bore and includes 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings for fitting a range of arbors; smaller 115–125 mm sizes use a 22 mm bore. Intended for woodworking and construction tasks, this blade is suitable for crosscuts, rip cuts and trimming of hardwoods, wood-based panels and hard plastics.

Advantages

The AWTools blade combines a laser-cut carbon steel body with tungsten-carbide tipped teeth to extend cutting life and maintain edge sharpness. Expansion slots help dissipate heat to preserve blade geometry and reduce the risk of warping. Alternating bevel tooth geometry and a positive hook angle improve cutting efficiency and help deliver clean edges on solid wood, engineered panels and certain plastics. Included reduction rings increase compatibility with a wide range of saw arbors.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting hardwoods and softwoods
• Rip cuts and longitudinal trimming of lumber
• Cutting wood-based panels such as plywood and MDF
• Trimming and cutting hard plastics compatible with saw blade use
• Use in stationary table saws and portable circular saws with appropriate arbor adapters

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw following the saw manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the arbor size matches one of the supplied bore options or reduction rings. Check that the blade rotates in the correct direction and that the saw is disconnected from power while fitting. Securely tighten the arbor nut to the recommended torque, set cutting depth and guards appropriately, and perform a test cut on scrap material to verify fit and cut quality. Use appropriate feed rate and support the workpiece to avoid pinching the blade.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, gloves) and follow dust-extraction guidance when cutting wood or plastics. Avoid prolonged heavy-duty cutting without allowing the blade to cool, and inspect the tungsten-carbide teeth regularly for wear. Replace the blade if deformation or excessive tooth wear is observed to maintain cut quality and safety.
