Circular saw blade AWTools AW48469 – circular blade, weight 560 g

AWTools AW48469 is a circular saw blade made of high-quality laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth designed for general cutting tasks. The blade weighs 560 g and features expansion slots to disperse heat and reduce deformation. With alternating bevel teeth and a 10° positive hook angle, this blade provides consistent cutting performance on hardwood, wood-based materials and hard plastics. It includes a 30 mm bore with 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings; smaller 115–125 mm sizes come with a 22 mm bore. Verify saw compatibility and correct mounting before installation.

Advantages

The tungsten-carbide teeth maintain sharpness longer than standard steel, offering improved edge retention and cut quality. Laser-cut carbon steel construction ensures dimensional accuracy and stability, while expansion slots reduce thermal distortion during extended use. Alternating bevel teeth combined with a 10° positive hook angle deliver efficient feed and clean cross and angle cuts. Included reduction rings increase mounting flexibility across a range of saw arbors.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and angled cuts in hardwood
• Cutting wood-based panels such as plywood and MDF
• Trimming and shaping hard plastics
• Use in both stationary and portable circular saws

How to use

Before fitting the AWTools AW48469 blade, ensure the saw is disconnected from power. Confirm the saw’s maximum RPM and arbor size are compatible with the blade specifications, and install the appropriate reduction ring if required. Mount the blade following the saw manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring correct orientation of the teeth for the intended cut. Tighten the arbor nut to the recommended torque, restore power, and perform a short test cut on scrap material to verify correct installation and cut quality.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, gloves) and follow the saw manufacturer’s safety guidelines. For best results, feed material at a steady rate appropriate for the blade’s tooth geometry and the material being cut. Frequently inspect the blade for damage or dulling and replace when performance degrades. Allow the blade to cool if it becomes hot during extended cuts to avoid heat-related deformation.
