Circular saw blade Bosch Optiline Wood 2608641172 for wood cutting

The Bosch Optiline Wood circular saw blade for wood cutting is designed for accurate and reliable sawing of solid wood and wood-based panels. Its precision-ground carbide teeth and a dimensionally stable SK5 hardened steel body provide consistent cutting performance across hand-held circular saws, mitre saws, sliding mitre saws and table saws. Expansion slots in the blade reduce vibration, damp noise and help control heat build-up during operation. The blade uses ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) tooth geometry, which, together with the tooth count, determines whether the cut is optimized for clean finishing or for faster, more aggressive removal of material.

Advantages

The combination of precision-ground carbide tips and a hardened SK5 steel core ensures long-lasting edge retention and stable running. Expansion slots and a balanced design reduce vibration and noise while limiting thermal distortion under load. ATB tooth geometry supports smooth crosscuts and ripping operations and adapts its performance according to tooth count to achieve either a fine finish or higher material removal rates.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid wood
• Ripping and sizing timber
• Cutting plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Joinery and carpentry workshop tasks

Key specifications

• Tooth material: precision-ground carbide
• Blade body material: SK5 hardened steel (dimensionally stable)
• Tooth geometry: Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)
• Design features: expansion slots for vibration and heat reduction
• Compatibility: hand-held circular saws, mitre saws, sliding mitre saws and table saws

How to use

Install the blade on the saw according to the saw manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct orientation and secure fastening. Verify that the saw's RPM rating matches the blade's allowable speed and use appropriate safety guards and personal protective equipment. Select a blade with the desired tooth count for either finer finish cuts or faster, coarse cuts. Feed the workpiece at a consistent rate, allow the blade to reach full speed before contact and avoid forcing the cut to prevent overheating and premature wear.

Usage recommendations

Use the blade on clean, properly supported material and keep cutting angles steady for best results. When cutting laminated boards or veneered panels, use an anti-tear insert or scoring blade where possible to minimize surface tear-out. Regularly inspect and clean the blade and replace it when carbide tips show wear to maintain cut quality and safe operation.
