Circular Saw Blade NORTON 225 mm x 30 mm, 64 teeth, for Wood and Composites, ATB (2.6/1.6)

Circular Saw Blade NORTON 225 mm x 30 mm, 64 teeth, ATB (2.6/1.6) is a high-precision cutting tool designed for table saws and mitre saws with a compatible 30 mm arbor. With a 225 mm diameter and 64 teeth in alternate top bevel (ATB) geometry, the blade delivers fine crosscuts and clean-edged finishing cuts in solid wood and wood-based composites. The specified 2.6 mm kerf and 1.6 mm body thickness balance cutting efficiency and material removal for reduced tear-out and a smooth surface finish.

Advantages

The ATB tooth configuration provides consistently clean cuts across grain and minimizes splintering on veneered or laminated panels. A high tooth count (64T) yields low cutting noise, finer finish and improved dimensional accuracy in finishing operations. The 30 mm bore makes the blade compatible with many European table and mitre saws, while the 225 mm diameter keeps cutting depth suitable for typical workshop stock. The 2.6/1.6 mm kerf/thickness combination reduces waste while maintaining rigidity and heat dissipation during continuous use.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid wood and timber
• Cutting laminated boards, MDF and plywood with minimized tear-out
• Fine finishing cuts on furniture components and mouldings
• Use on table saws and mitre saws with 30 mm arbor

Key specifications

• Diameter: 225 mm
• Bore (arbor) size: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 64
• Tooth geometry: Alternate Top Bevel (ATB)
• Kerf (cutting width): 2.6 mm
• Body thickness: 1.6 mm
• Application materials: Solid wood and wood-based composites (MDF, plywood, laminated boards)

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw following the machine manufacturer's safety instructions and ensure correct blade orientation and secure fastening to the 30 mm arbor. Check the saw's maximum RPM rating and confirm the blade's suitability. Adjust cutting height and fence or miter settings for the required cut. Use steady feed rates appropriate for the material: slower feeds for thick or hardwoods and moderate feeds for thin laminated panels to preserve edge quality. Wear appropriate eye, ear and respiratory protection and secure workpieces before cutting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 64-tooth ATB blade for crosscutting and finishing operations rather than aggressive rip cuts; maintain sharpness by avoiding prolonged cutting of materials with embedded fasteners and periodically inspect for wear or vibration. When working with veneered or laminated surfaces, consider using a sacrificial backer board to further reduce blowout on the underside of the cut.
