The CMT Universal Circular Saw Blade is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for precision and durability in woodworking. With a 200mm diameter and 36 high-quality HM carbide teeth, this blade is specifically designed to handle both longitudinal and cross-cutting tasks with ease. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance when working with solid wood and various wood-based materials, making it a reliable choice for workshop environments.
Advantages
This circular saw blade offers exceptional cutting efficiency due to its specialized carbide tooth geometry, which maintains sharpness over extended periods of use. The 2.8mm kerf provides a balance between material removal and cutting speed, resulting in clean, smooth edges that require minimal post-processing. Its universal design allows for versatile application across different types of wood, reducing the need for frequent blade changes during complex projects.
Suitable for
- Longitudinal cutting of solid wood
- Cross-cutting of wood-based panels
- Use with table saws
- Use with miter saws
When it may not be suitable
This blade is not intended for cutting metal, stone, or highly abrasive materials, as these can cause rapid dulling or damage to the carbide teeth. It may also be less effective for extremely fine finish work where a higher tooth count is required for a polished surface.
Key specifications
- Diameter: 200mm
- Bore size: 30mm
- Tooth count: 36 teeth
- Material: HM Carbide
- Kerf thickness: 2.8mm
How to use
Ensure the saw is disconnected from the power source before installation. Align the blade with the arbor of your table or miter saw, ensuring the rotation direction matches the arrow indicated on the blade body. Secure the flange and tighten the nut firmly according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Once installed, perform a test cut on scrap material to verify alignment and stability before proceeding with your primary workpiece.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your saw machine is compatible with a 200mm diameter blade.
- Confirm that your saw arbor matches the 30mm bore size.
- Assess the thickness of the material you intend to cut to ensure the 2.8mm kerf meets your requirements.
Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, when operating power saws. Regularly inspect the blade for resin buildup and clean it with a suitable solvent to maintain optimal cutting performance.
