Circular saw blade Festool 492052 — 190 mm diameter, 2.6 mm thickness, for aluminium

Festool 492052 is a 190 mm circular saw blade engineered for cutting aluminium and other non-ferrous materials. With a plate thickness of 2.6 mm and 54 fine-grain carbide teeth, this single-piece blade is designed to produce clean, precise cuts with minimal heat generation. It fits circular saws that accept 190 mm diameter blades and is intended for workshop and on-site use where accurate, burr-free aluminium cuts are required.

Advantages

The fine-grain carbide teeth provide very good cutting quality and long service life while maintaining low friction and minimal heat buildup during cutting. High-quality tooth geometry ensures consistent feed and smooth cut surfaces in coated panels, plastics and aluminium sheets. Fast blade changes are possible thanks to the star-shaped mounting interface, and Festool's red colour coding helps identify the blade quickly for plastic and non-ferrous material machining.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium sheets and profiles
• Precision trimming of coated panels and laminate with aluminium layers
• Workshop fabrication and on-site metalwork requiring burr-free edges
• Applications needing minimal heat generation to avoid material deformation

• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Install the 190 mm blade on a circular saw compatible with star-shaped mounting and secure according to the saw manufacturer's instructions. Use appropriate feed rate and moderate cutting speed to reduce heat buildup when cutting aluminium. Support workpieces firmly and use a sacrificial board or zero-clearance insert where possible to minimise tear-out. Wear suitable personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection and ensure secure clamping and correct blade alignment before operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results on aluminium, use a steady, moderate feed and avoid prolonged dwell in one spot to limit heat. Clean the blade periodically to prevent material build-up on the teeth. When cutting coated panels or laminate with aluminium layers, test a cut on scrap material first to confirm feed speed and fence alignment.
