Circular Saw Blade Condor CON-TCT-2504, TCT 250 mm Ø, 30 mm bore, 40 teeth

Condor CON-TCT-2504 is a tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) circular saw blade with a 250 mm diameter and a 30 mm bore, featuring 40 teeth. It is designed for accurate crosscuts and rip cuts on a range of wood materials, including hardwoods, softwoods and various panel products. The carbide tips extend cutting edge life and provide improved wear resistance compared with standard high-speed steel blades, making the blade suitable for repetitive woodworking tasks on stationary and portable circular saws.

Advantages

The Condor CON-TCT-2504 offers durable cutting performance due to its tungsten carbide tipped teeth, which maintain sharpness over longer production cycles and reduce the need for frequent resharpening. With 40 teeth and a 250 mm diameter, the blade balances cutting speed and finish quality, producing cleaner edges on crosscuts and rip cuts in dimensional lumber and panels. The 30 mm bore provides compatibility with many common saw arbors, while the overall construction resists wear from abrasive materials present in some engineered panels.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and ripping of hardwoods and softwoods
• Cutting plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Use on stationary table saws, mitre saws and some jobsite circular saws with matching arbor
• General woodworking tasks that require a balance between cutting speed and edge quality

When it may not be suitable

This TCT blade is not intended for cutting metals, masonry, or abrasive non-wood materials; using it on such materials will accelerate wear and may damage the carbide tips. For ultra-fine finishing or very thin veneers, a blade with a higher tooth count or a specialized finishing profile may produce a superior surface. Verify that the saw's maximum rpm rating corresponds to the blade's safe operating speed before use.

Key specifications

• Blade type: Tungsten carbide tipped (TCT)
• Diameter: 250 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 40
• Material suitability: Hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, MDF, particleboard

How to use

Install the Condor CON-TCT-2504 on a compatible saw arbor matching the 30 mm bore and ensure the flange and nut are tightened according to the saw manufacturer's instructions. Confirm blade rotation direction aligns with the saw guard markings. Set cutting depth and fence or miter stops as required for the operation. Feed workpieces at a steady, moderate rate: too slow increases heat and risk of burning, too fast can cause tear-out or excessive wear. After use, clean resin or pitch buildup from teeth and inspect carbide tips for chipping before storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your saw arbor accepts a 30 mm bore or use an appropriate adapter
• Check the saw's maximum rpm rating and ensure compatibility with a 250 mm blade
• Match tooth count (40T) to the desired balance of finish quality and cutting speed for your applications
• Consider material types you will cut—engineered abrasive panels shorten carbide life

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Condor CON-TCT-2504 on dry, stable workpieces and maintain consistent feed rates. Keep the blade clean and periodically inspect or replace if carbide tips show significant wear or damage. When cutting engineered panels, use a sacrificial backing board when possible to reduce tear-out on the exit face.
