Circular saw blade AWTools AW48463, weight 420 g

The AWTools AW48463 circular saw blade is a replaceable cutting accessory for circular saws, weighing 420 g and designed for general-purpose woodworking and plastic cutting tasks. Constructed from high-quality carbon steel with laser cutting for a precise body, the blade is fitted with tungsten-carbide teeth to maintain sharpness and deliver consistent cut quality. Expansion slots reduce heat build-up and help prevent deformation during prolonged use. The blade includes a 30 mm bore with 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings; smaller 115–125 mm sizes feature a 22 mm bore. Teeth are ground with alternating bevels and a 10° positive hook angle; the kerf width is approximately 4.5 mm.

Advantages

The carbon steel plate provides a stable body and laser cutting ensures flatness and concentricity for smoother rotations. Tungsten-carbide teeth offer extended service life and reliable edge retention, improving the finish of crosscuts and angled cuts. Expansion slots dissipate heat and reduce vibration, which helps preserve cutting precision and prevents blade warping. Multiple bore adapters make the blade compatible with a wide range of stationary and portable saws.

Suitable for

• Transverse and angled cuts in hardwood
• Cutting wood-based materials such as plywood and MDF
• Working with hard plastics that are prone to chipping
• Use in stationary table saws and portable circular saws with compatible arbor sizes

How to use

Select the correct bore adapter to match your saw arbor and securely mount the blade following the saw manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the blade rotation direction matches the saw's arrow indicator. Set appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the workpiece material; use lower feed rates for harder materials to avoid overloading the teeth. Check that the expansion slots are clear of debris and that the blade runs without wobble before making full-depth cuts. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use push sticks or guides as required by the saw type.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting hardwood or hard plastics, use a steady feed and avoid forcing the blade through the material. Regularly inspect the tungsten-carbide teeth for wear and replace the blade when cut quality degrades. Match blade diameter and bore to the saw specifications and use the provided reduction rings where necessary to ensure concentric mounting.
