Circular saw blade AWTools AW48468, weight 560 g

AWTools AW48468 is a circular saw blade made of high-quality carbon steel with laser cutting and tungsten-carbide teeth for prolonged sharpness and consistent cut quality. The blade features expansion slots to disperse heat and reduce deformation, alternating bevel teeth with a 10° positive hook angle, and an approximate kerf width of 4.5 mm. It is supplied with a 30 mm bore and reduction rings for 22 mm and 16 mm, while smaller 115–125 mm variants use a 22 mm bore. The blade is suitable for installation on compatible stationary and portable circular saws and is intended for transverse and angled cutting of hardwood, wood-based materials and hard plastics.

Advantages

The combination of a laser-cut carbon steel body and tungsten-carbide teeth ensures durable performance and long-lasting edge retention, delivering stable and accurate cuts. Expansion slots minimize thermal deformation during extended use, preserving blade geometry. Alternating bevel teeth and a positive hook angle provide efficient material removal and reduced splintering on cross and angle cuts. Multiple bore sizes via included reduction rings increase compatibility with a wide range of saws.

Suitable for

• Transverse cutting of hardwoods
• Angle and miter cuts in wood-based panels
• Cutting hard plastics and composite boards
• Use with stationary table saws and portable circular saws

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw following the machine manufacturer's instructions and using the appropriate reduction ring for correct arbor fit. Ensure the saw is disconnected from power before mounting. Verify correct blade rotation and secure mounting flange torque before operation. Select suitable cutting speed and feed rate for the material: use moderate feed for hardwoods and slower feed for hard plastics to avoid melting. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection, and use dust extraction where possible.

Usage recommendations

For best results, perform test cuts on scrap material to confirm cut quality and adjust saw settings. Regularly inspect the blade for wear or damage, replace when teeth are dull or chipped, and avoid prolonged cutting at excessive feed rates that increase heat. Use the included reduction rings to ensure concentric mounting and minimize vibration for cleaner cuts.
