Circular Saw Blade Norton Clipper 190 mm x 30 mm, 24 teeth, for Wood and Composites ATB (2.8/1.8)

The Norton Clipper circular saw blade 190 mm x 30 mm with 24 ATB teeth is designed for cutting wood and composite materials. With a 190 mm diameter and a 30 mm bore, the blade fits table saws, miter saws and circular saws that accept a 30 mm arbor. The 24-tooth ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry and specified blade thickness/gullets of 2.8/1.8 mm are intended to deliver clean crosscuts and controlled ripping in solid wood and engineered boards, reducing tear-out on veneers and laminated surfaces.

Advantages

The ATB tooth configuration provides a balance between cutting speed and finish quality, producing smoother edges on both solid wood and composite panels. The 24-tooth count is optimized to reduce chipping when crosscutting while retaining sufficient feed rate for ripping tasks. The 30 mm bore ensures secure mounting on compatible saws, and the blade dimensions and gullet profile help evacuate chips effectively to maintain cutting performance during continuous use.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwood and hardwood boards
• Ripping tasks on dimensional lumber and engineered boards
• Cutting laminated and veneered panels with reduced tear-out
• Use on table saws, mitre saws and circular saws with 30 mm arbor

Key specifications

• Diameter: 190 mm
• Arbor/bore diameter: 30 mm
• Tooth count and type: 24 teeth, ATB (Alternate Top Bevel)
• Blade thickness / gullet: 2.8 mm / 1.8 mm
• Material suitability: wood and composite materials

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw with a 30 mm arbor, following the tool manufacturer's procedure for blade mounting and tightening the arbor nut to the recommended torque. Ensure the blade rotates in the correct direction and that blade guards and safety features are in place. Select feed rate and cutting depth appropriate for the material: slower feed for harder materials and laminated panels to minimize chipping, faster feed for softwood ripping. Use proper personal protective equipment, secure the workpiece, and make trial cuts to verify alignment and finish before full production cuts.

Usage recommendations

For best results when cutting veneered or laminated materials, use a sacrificial backing board or tape the cut line to further reduce tear-out. Regularly inspect the blade for wear and clean resin or adhesive buildup. Re-sharpen or replace the blade when cutting quality deteriorates or when excessive vibration or burning occurs.
