Circular saw blade AWTools AW48464, weight 420 g

AWTools AW48464 is a circular saw blade made of laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth. It is supplied with a 30 mm bore and includes 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings; smaller 115–125 mm variants have a 22 mm bore. The blade features expansion slots to disperse heat, an alternating bevel tooth geometry with a 10° positive hook angle and a kerf width of approximately 4.5 mm. With a listed weight of 420 g, this AWTools blade is intended for mounting on compatible stationary and portable circular saws for general cutting tasks in wood and plastics.

Advantages

The tungsten-carbide teeth maintain sharpness longer than standard steel teeth and provide consistent cut quality. Laser-cut carbon steel body construction ensures flatness and stability, while expansion slots reduce the risk of overheating and deformation during prolonged use. Alternating bevel teeth and a positive hook angle allow clean transverse and angled cuts, and included reduction rings support fitting on different arbor sizes.

Suitable for

• Transverse and angled cuts in hardwood
• Cutting wood-based panels such as plywood and MDF
• Trimming and cutting hard plastics
• Use with stationary table saws and portable circular saws

How to use

Ensure the saw is powered off and disconnected from the power source before fitting the blade. Select the appropriate reduction ring for the saw arbor and mount the blade following the saw manufacturer's instructions, making sure the blade rotation direction matches the saw's rotation. Tighten the arbor flange to the specified torque and check blade runout before use. Adjust cutting depth and set the fence or guide for accurate transverse or angled cuts. Use appropriate feeds and speeds to match the material being cut.

Usage recommendations

Wear eye, hearing and respiratory protection when cutting. Allow the blade to cool between long cutting runs and avoid excessive force to maintain blade life and cut quality. Regularly inspect the tungsten-carbide teeth for wear and replace the blade if teeth are chipped or the cut quality decreases.
