Circular saw blade AWTools AW48474, 560 g weight

AWTools AW48474 circular saw blade, weighing 560 g, is designed for woodworking and general cutting tasks. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel with laser cutting, the blade features tungsten-carbide teeth for extended sharpness and consistent cut quality. Built-in expansion slots reduce heat buildup and help prevent deformation during prolonged use. The blade is supplied with a 30 mm bore and includes 22 mm and 16 mm reduction rings to fit a range of saw arbors; 115–125 mm variants use a 22 mm bore. Kerf width is approximately 4.5 mm, teeth have alternating bevels and a 10° positive hook angle, making this blade suitable for straight, rip and cross cuts depending on saw setup.

Advantages

The combination of a laser-cut carbon steel body and tungsten-carbide teeth provides a balance of toughness and edge retention, reducing the frequency of resharpening or replacement. Expansion slots help maintain blade geometry by dispersing heat, which improves cut accuracy over longer workloads. Multiple bore adapters increase compatibility with both stationary and portable circular saws, and the 10° positive hook angle with alternating bevels produces clean cuts in hardwoods, wood-based materials and hard plastics.

Suitable for

• Transverse and angular cuts of hardwood
• Cross-cutting and ripping of plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Cutting hard plastics and laminate materials
• Replacement blade for portable and table circular saws

How to use

Install the AWTools AW48474 blade on a compatible circular saw following the saw manufacturer’s instructions. Select and fit the appropriate reduction ring to match the saw arbor diameter, ensuring the blade is centered and secured by the locking flange and nut. Verify rotational direction matches the arrow on the blade. Set the saw to the correct speed and cutting depth for the material, and operate the saw with steady feed and consistent pressure to achieve clean cuts. Maintain personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection and follow safe work practices when changing blades and during cutting operations.

Usage recommendations

Use this blade primarily for woodworking and hard plastic applications; avoid cutting metal or materials with embedded fasteners. Allow the blade to cool between extended cutting runs to reduce heat-related wear. Inspect teeth regularly for damage and replace the blade if chipping or excessive wear is observed. Match blade type and tooth count to the specific finish quality required for the task.
