Circular saw blade Makita B-57336 16.5 cm

The Makita B-57336 circular saw blade, 16.5 cm in diameter with a 2 cm bore, is designed for precise cutting of laminate, MDF, plastic and wood. Supplied as a single blade, it fits compatible circular saws that accept a 20 mm arbor. The blade geometry and tooth design provide clean cuts and reduced chipping when working with thin laminates and engineered boards.

Advantages

This blade delivers accurate crosscuts and rip cuts on a variety of sheet materials while maintaining edge durability under normal workshop conditions. Its balanced construction helps reduce vibration for smoother operation and improved cut quality. The blade’s tooth profile and finish reduce tear-out on veneered surfaces and help achieve consistent results across repeated cuts.

• Cutting laminate flooring and worktops
• Trimming MDF panels and furniture components
• Cutting plastic sheets and acrylics
• General woodworking tasks on soft and hardwoods

Key specifications

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw with the correct arbor size and ensure the blade is oriented per the saw manufacturer’s rotation mark. Tighten the arbor flange and nut to the specified torque. Adjust cutting depth and fence or guide for the desired cut. Perform a test cut on scrap material to confirm alignment and cut quality. Observe standard safety practices: disconnect power before changing the blade, use eye and hearing protection, and secure workpieces firmly.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting laminate and veneered boards, use a sacrificial backing or cut with the finished side down to minimize chipping. Replace the blade when cutting quality degrades or when visible wear appears on teeth.
