Circular saw blade Makita 165 x 20 mm, 24 teeth, Economy

Circular saw blade Makita 165 x 20 mm, 24 teeth, Economy is a general-purpose saw blade for handheld and stationary circular saws. With a 165 mm diameter and a 20 mm bore, this blade is designed to deliver a balance between cutting speed and surface finish for a variety of common woodworking tasks. The 24-tooth configuration provides moderate tooth spacing suitable for both crosscutting and ripping in standard lumber and panel materials, offering predictable performance in everyday cutting operations.

Advantages

The blade combines compact diameter and moderate tooth count to enable faster feeds than fine-tooth blades while producing a cleaner finish than coarse rip blades. Its Economy specification focuses on practical performance and cost-efficiency for routine jobs. Compatible with many handheld circular saws and table saws that accept a 165 mm / 20 mm configuration, the blade is easy to install and replace for typical workshop or site use.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwood and hardwood boards
• Rip cuts in dimensional lumber and timber
• Cutting plywood, OSB and construction panels
• General woodworking tasks in workshops and on-site

Key specifications

• Diameter: 165 mm
• Bore size: 20 mm

• Compatibility: for circular saws and table saws accepting 165 mm blades with 20 mm bore

How to use

Fit the blade to a compatible circular saw or table saw spindle with a 20 mm arbor, ensuring the saw is disconnected from power before installation. Verify blade rotation direction and secure the blade flange and nut to manufacturer torque recommendations. When cutting, use appropriate feed rate for 24-tooth geometry: moderate feed speed for a balance of cut speed and finish. Wear eye and hearing protection and follow safe cutting practices, including clamping workpieces and using guards.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Economy blade on common construction lumber and sheet goods. Avoid prolonged cutting of metal, masonry, or abrasive materials. Inspect the blade for damage or dulling before use and replace when cutting quality decreases. Match blade choice to the task: choose higher-tooth-count blades for finer finish or lower-tooth-count blades for fast aggressive ripping.
