Circular saw blade AWTools AW TCT 300 mm diameter, 30 mm bore, 30 teeth

AWTools AW TCT circular saw blade, 300 mm diameter with a 30 mm bore and 30 teeth, is a tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) blade engineered for repeated cutting tasks in workshop and construction environments. The blade is intended for installation on circular saws that accept a 30 mm arbor and is suitable for ripping and crosscutting wood-based panels, solid timber and similar compatible substrates where a balance of cutting speed and edge life is required.

Advantages

The tungsten carbide tipped teeth provide extended edge life and consistent cutting performance compared with standard high-speed steel blades. A 300 mm diameter paired with 30 teeth offers a compromise between cutting speed and finish quality, enabling both efficient material removal and acceptable surface smoothness. The standardized 30 mm bore ensures compatibility with many benchtop and portable circular saws used in workshops and on sites.

Suitable for

• Ripping and crosscutting wood panels such as MDF, plywood and particleboard
• Cutting solid timber and board stock in workshop environments
• Use with circular saws that accept a 30 mm arbor
• General-purpose carpentry and joinery tasks requiring durable tooth life

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 300 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 30
• Tooth type: tungsten carbide tipped (TCT)
• Primary use: cutting wood-based materials and compatible substrates

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw with a 30 mm arbor, following the saw manufacturer's instructions for blade mounting, clamping torque and safety guards. Ensure the blade direction matches the saw rotation arrow and that the saw is disconnected from power during fitting. Use appropriate feed rates and avoid excessive force; let the blade cut at its designed speed to maintain tooth life and achieve the best finish. Regularly inspect the blade for chipped or worn teeth and replace when cutting quality or safety is affected.

Usage recommendations

Use hearing and eye protection, and if cutting engineered panels, employ dust extraction or respiratory protection to limit exposure to wood dust. For best results, select feed speed and cutting depth suitable for the material; when cutting laminated panels, use a sacrificial backing board or an anti-chip scoring blade if surface finish is critical.
