Circular saw blade Makita B-17712 260 mm diameter, 30 mm bore

Makita circular saw blade B-17712 with a 260 mm diameter and 30 mm bore is designed for use with compatible table and hand circular saws. The blade provides a standard diameter and arbor size for many workshop and jobsite machines and is intended for general-purpose cutting in woodworking when matched with the appropriate saw and feed technique. This blade fits saws that accept a 260 mm disc and a 30 mm arbor and is suitable for operations that require a durable, removable cutting blade.

Advantages

The blade's 260 mm diameter offers a balance between cutting depth and rotational speed appropriate for mid-size circular saws. A 30 mm bore ensures a secure fit on compatible arbors, reducing runout and vibration when properly mounted. Its design is focused on reliable performance for standard woodworking tasks and straightforward replacement on machines that use this disc size.

Suitable for

• Table saws and benchtop circular saws that accept 260 mm blades with a 30 mm arbor
• Handheld circular saws configured for 260 mm diameter discs
• General woodworking cuts such as ripping, crosscutting and sheet material trimming when using the correct blade type
• Workshop environments where quick blade replacement and compatibility are required

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 260 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Compatibility: designed for saws accepting 260 mm discs with 30 mm arbors
• Typical application: woodworking and general-purpose cutting tasks

How to use

Ensure the saw is unplugged or the battery removed before mounting the blade. Confirm that the arbor diameter, blade diameter and saw speed ratings are compatible with the blade. Mount the blade onto the arbor with the teeth oriented in the correct rotation direction and tighten the arbor nut to the manufacturer's recommended torque. When cutting, use appropriate feed rate and blade guarding; allow the saw to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Regularly inspect the blade for wear, damage or buildup and replace it if performance deteriorates or teeth are chipped.

Usage recommendations

Use the blade with saws that match the 260 mm diameter and 30 mm bore specification, choose the correct tooth geometry for the material being cut, and follow safety guidelines including eye and hearing protection. For optimal results in woodworking, maintain steady feed pressure, avoid excessive lateral force on thin blades, and perform periodic cleaning and sharpening or replacement as needed.
