Circular Saw Blade NORTON 180 mm x 30 mm, 24T ATB, for Wood and Composites (2.8/1.8)

NORTON circular saw blade 180 mm x 30 mm with 24 ATB teeth is designed for cutting wood and composite materials. The blade has a 30 mm bore and alternating top bevel (ATB) tooth geometry that reduces tear-out and provides cleaner crosscuts on solid wood, veneered boards and laminated panels. Specified kerf and plate thickness values (2.8 mm / 1.8 mm) help maintain accuracy and minimise material waste during repetitive cutting operations.

Advantages

The 24-tooth ATB configuration balances cut quality and feed rate, producing smooth edges on crosscuts while still allowing efficient removal of material. The 30 mm bore ensures compatibility with many table saws, mitre saws and panel saws when used with the appropriate arbor adapter. The kerf and plate thickness combination offers stability and reduced vibration for straight, consistent cuts in a variety of wood-based and composite panels.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid timber and boards
• Cutting veneered panels and laminated furniture components
• Working with particleboard, MDF and plywood
• Use on table saws, mitre saws and panel saws (with correct arbor fit)

Key specifications

• Diameter: 180 mm
• Bore/Arbor size: 30 mm
• Teeth: 24, ATB (alternating top bevel)
• Kerf / Plate thickness: 2.8 mm / 1.8 mm
• Material compatibility: solid wood, veneered boards, laminated panels, particleboard, MDF, plywood

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw with a 30 mm arbor or use an appropriate reducer/adapter to match the machine arbor. Ensure the saw is powered off and disconnected from the power source before fitting. Check blade rotation direction and secure the blade with the correct flange and locking method. Set cutting height and fence or stop for accurate crosscuts, and feed workpieces at a steady rate appropriate to the tooth count and material density. Inspect the blade periodically for wear or damage and replace when tooth wear affects cut quality.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust mask) and work in a well-ventilated area. For veneered or laminated surfaces, consider applying masking tape along the cut line to further reduce edge tear-out. Match feed speed to material and avoid forcing the blade through hard or highly abrasive composites to extend blade life.
