Circular saw blade Makita B-08969 216×30×2.4 mm Z48 for wood cutting

Makita B-08969 circular saw blade, 216 mm diameter with a 30 mm bore and 2.4 mm plate thickness, is made for cutting wood with consistent performance. The 48-tooth configuration and tooth geometry are designed to deliver smooth, accurate crosscuts and rip cuts on a variety of wood types. The blade is intended for use with machines that accept a 30 mm arbor and provides stable rotation and repeatable results for carpentry, furniture making and renovation tasks.

Advantages

The 48-tooth design balances cutting speed and finish quality, reducing tear-out while maintaining efficient feed. The 2.4 mm plate thickness provides rigidity and reduced vibration during operation, helping to maintain straight cuts. Compatibility with a 30 mm arbor ensures secure mounting and reliable concentricity on compatible circular saws and table saws.

How to use

Install the blade on a circular saw or table saw that accepts a 30 mm arbor, following the machine manufacturer's instructions for safe blade mounting. Ensure the saw is powered off and unplugged before changing the blade. Verify blade rotation direction matches the saw's indicator and tighten the arbor flange securely. Use appropriate feed rates and support workpieces to minimize vibration and prevent binding. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow all safety guidelines for the saw being used.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the blade for general wood cutting tasks rather than hardened materials or metal. Keep the blade clean and free of pitch buildup, and inspect teeth for damage before use. When making finish-sensitive crosscuts, use a steady feed and consider a zero-clearance insert or masking to reduce tear-out.
