Circular Saw Blade Norton Clipper 190 mm × 30 mm × 30T for Wood and Composites ATB (2.8/1.8)

The Norton Clipper circular saw blade 190 mm × 30 mm × 30T is designed for cutting wood and composite materials. With a 190 mm diameter, 30 mm bore and 30 ATB (alternate top bevel) teeth, the blade delivers cleaner edges on crosscuts and through-cuts in solid wood, plywood, MDF and a range of composite panels. The specified thickness profile (2.8/1.8 mm) provides a balance between rigidity and reduced kerf waste, making it suitable for general woodworking and panel cutting on saws with a 30 mm arbor.

Advantages

The ATB tooth geometry produces fine shearing action for reduced splintering and improved surface finish on laminates and veneered panels. Thirty teeth offer a compromise between cut speed and smoothness, allowing efficient material removal while maintaining acceptable edge quality. The 30 mm bore ensures compatibility with machines that accept a 30 mm arbor, and the blade’s thickness profile supports stable cutting with minimized vibration.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid wood and dimensional lumber
• Cutting plywood, MDF and particleboard
• Working with laminated or veneered panels and other composites
• General purpose workshop and jobsite saw use where a balance of speed and finish is required

Key specifications

• Diameter: 190 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 30
• Tooth geometry: ATB (Alternate Top Bevel)
• Thickness profile: 2.8 mm body / 1.8 mm kerf (specified profile)
• Primary application: wood and composite panels

How to use

Install the blade on a machine with a 30 mm arbor, ensuring the saw is disconnected from power before mounting. Verify correct blade rotation direction and secure the flange and nut to manufacturer torque recommendations. Use appropriate feed rates and blade speed for the material being cut; for thin laminates and veneered panels, use slower feed and steady support to reduce tear-out. Maintain guards and a proper fence or guide to ensure straight, safe cuts. Regularly inspect the blade for wear or damage and dress or replace it when edge quality deteriorates.

Usage recommendations

Use the blade with a saw that supports a 30 mm arbor and follow machine safety guidelines. For best edge quality on laminated materials, back the workpiece with sacrificial support or use an anti-chip strip. Wear appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory protection when cutting wood and composites, and store the blade in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
