Circular saw blade Bosch 2608644385 for wood, 305 mm diameter, 30 mm bore, 40 teeth

Bosch circular saw blade designed for cutting softwood and general wood applications. The blade has a 305 mm diameter, a 30 mm bore and 40 teeth, offering a balance between cutting speed and smoothness. It is supplied as a single-piece pack and fits saws that accept 305 mm blades with a 30 mm arbor.

Advantages

The 40-tooth configuration gives a compromise between fast material removal and relatively smooth crosscuts. Compatibility with common 30 mm arbors and the 305 mm diameter makes the blade suitable for many table saws and miter saws. As a single-piece supply, it is ready to fit and use without additional accessories.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwood
• Ripping and general wood cutting
• Use in table saws and miter saws that accept 305 mm blades with 30 mm bore

When it may not be suitable

This blade is intended for softwood and general wood; it may not deliver optimal results on hardwoods, laminated panels, or metal. For specialist cuts (very fine finish, plywood without tear-out, or cutting non-wood materials) a blade with a different tooth count, geometry, or carbide grade would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 305 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 40
• Suitable materials: softwood, wood
• Maximum rotational speed: 5000 RPM
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Ensure the saw is switched off and disconnected from power before fitting the blade. Mount the blade on a compatible 30 mm arbor, observing the indicated rotation direction, and secure the flange and nut to the manufacturer's torque specification. Verify blade runout and guard clearance before powering the saw. Use appropriate feed rates, push sticks and personal protective equipment when cutting. Allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the cut and avoid side thrust or twisting during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your saw accepts 305 mm blades with a 30 mm arbor.
• Check whether a 40-tooth blade matches the required surface finish and cut type for your project.
• Ensure the saw's maximum RPM is at or below 5000 RPM for safe operation.

Usage recommendations

Use this 305 x 30 mm, 40-tooth Bosch blade for general woodwork and softwood crosscuts; select a finer-tooth or specialised blade for plywood, laminates or hardwoods to reduce tear-out and improve finish.
