Bosch EXPERT Wood Circular Saw Blade 168mm, 28 Teeth, 20mm Bore

The Bosch EXPERT Wood circular saw blade is a high-performance cutting accessory designed specifically for hand-held circular saws. With a diameter of 168mm and 28 precision-ground teeth, this blade provides a balance between speed and cut quality, making it an ideal choice for demanding woodworking tasks. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting sharpness and stability during operation, allowing for consistent results across a variety of wood-based materials.

Advantages

This circular saw blade benefits from advanced engineering that minimizes friction and heat buildup during the cutting process. The high-quality carbide teeth are designed to maintain their edge significantly longer than standard blades, which reduces the frequency of replacements and ensures high productivity. Furthermore, the blade geometry is optimized to provide clean, splinter-free cuts, which is essential for professional-grade woodworking projects where precision is paramount.

Suitable for

• Cutting solid wood and timber
• Working with plywood and composite wood panels
• Professional carpentry and joinery tasks
• DIY home renovation and furniture building

When it may not be suitable

This blade is not designed for cutting metal, stone, or masonry materials, as doing so will cause immediate damage to the carbide teeth. It is also not recommended for use with materials containing nails or hardened screws, which can lead to blade deflection or breakage.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 168mm
• Bore size: 20mm
• Tooth count: 28 teeth
• Material compatibility: Wood and wood-based materials
• Tool compatibility: Hand-held circular saws

How to use

Before installation, ensure the circular saw is disconnected from the power source. Remove the existing blade by loosening the arbor nut and carefully place the Bosch EXPERT Wood blade onto the spindle, ensuring the rotation arrow on the blade matches the direction of the saw's rotation. Secure the blade firmly with the flange and nut, ensuring it is properly centered. Always perform a test cut on scrap material to verify the setup before proceeding with your main project.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your circular saw supports a 168mm blade diameter.
• Confirm that your saw spindle matches the 20mm bore size.
• Ensure the blade is appropriate for the thickness and type of wood you intend to cut.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, when operating a circular saw. Regularly inspect the blade for signs of wear or resin buildup, and clean it with a suitable solvent to maintain optimal cutting performance.
