Circular saw blade AWTools AW48490 — AW48490, weight 2.4 kg

AWTools AW48490 circular saw blade is a power tool accessory intended for cutting hardwood, wood-based materials and hard plastics. Made of high-quality laser-cut carbon steel with tungsten-carbide teeth, the blade combines durability and cutting performance. The design includes expansion slots to dissipate heat and prevent deformation, an alternating bevel tooth geometry with a 10° positive hook angle and an approximate kerf width of 4.5 mm. The blade is supplied with a 30 mm bore and reduction rings for 22 mm and 16 mm; smaller sizes (115–125 mm) use a 22 mm bore. Total weight of the product is 2.4 kg.

Advantages

The AWTools AW48490 blade uses tungsten-carbide teeth to maintain edge sharpness and deliver consistent cut quality. Laser-cut carbon steel construction ensures flatness and stability, while expansion slots reduce thermal stress during continuous cutting. Alternating bevel teeth and a positive hook angle facilitate fast, clean crosscuts and angled cuts. Included reduction rings provide compatibility with a wide range of stationary and portable saws.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting hardwood boards and planks
• Cutting plywood, MDF and other wood-based panels
• Trimming and shaping hard plastic sheets
• Use with compatible stationary and handheld circular saws

How to use

Install the AWTools AW48490 blade on a compatible circular saw or cutting machine following the tool manufacturer's instructions: ensure the machine is disconnected from power, select and fit the correct reduction ring for the saw arbor, and tighten the blade mounting flange securely. Confirm rotation direction matches the arrow marked on the blade and set cutting depth and fence as required. During operation, feed material steadily without forcing the blade and allow the tungsten-carbide teeth to cut at their designed speed to maintain edge life.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and ear protection, dust mask, gloves) and follow the saw manufacturer's safety guidelines. For prolonged cutting sessions, allow the blade to cool periodically to reduce heat build-up despite the expansion slots. Match blade RPM and feed rate to the material to optimize cut quality and extend blade life.
