Wood saw blade DeWalt HM-Wood saw blade 216x30mm Z48

The DeWalt HM-Wood saw blade 216x30mm Z48 is a circular blade engineered for precise wood cutting. With a 216 mm diameter and a 30 mm bore, this blade features 48 carbide-tipped teeth that provide clean crosscuts and rip cuts in a variety of wood types. The hardened carbide tips and balanced construction ensure consistent performance and longer service life compared with standard steel blades. The blade is suitable for use in table saws and mitre saws that accept a 30 mm bore blade and benefits both professional carpenters and home workshop users who require accurate, efficient wood cutting.

Advantages

Carbide-tipped teeth deliver improved wear resistance and maintain sharpness over extended use, reducing the need for frequent sharpening. The 48-tooth configuration offers a balance between smooth cut quality and reasonable cutting speed, producing fine, low-friction cuts with minimal tear-out. A rigid body and precision manufacturing improve runout stability and reduce vibration, which contributes to more accurate, repeatable cuts and a longer usable life for the blade.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting and ripping of softwood and hardwood
• Precision joinery and cabinetmaking cuts
• Table saw and mitre saw applications with 30 mm arbor
• General workshop and DIY woodworking projects

Key specifications

• Diameter: 216 mm
• Bore (arbor) size: 30 mm
• Tooth count: 48
• Tooth material: Carbide-tipped
• Primary use: Wood cutting (crosscut and rip)

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw with a 30 mm arbor, ensuring correct flange orientation and secure tightening according to the saw manufacturer's torque recommendations. Verify blade rotation direction matches the saw's arrow markings. Adjust saw height and fence position for the desired cut depth and support the workpiece firmly. Operate the saw at the recommended feed rate for the material, allowing the carbide teeth to cut without forcing the blade through the wood. After use, inspect the blade for buildup, chips, or damage and clean any resin or pitch deposits to maintain cutting quality.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use the blade at appropriate RPM ranges specified by your saw and select feed rates that avoid overheating the carbide tips. Use anti-kickback measures and personal protective equipment. If cutting laminated or veneered panels, consider using a zero-clearance insert or an auxiliary scoring blade to minimize edge chipping. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the body and preserve the carbide edges.
