Circular Saw Blade Norton Clipper 260 mm x 30 mm x 48T for Wood and Composites ATB Negative Hook

Circular saw blade Norton Clipper 260 mm x 30 mm x 48T is engineered for precision cutting of wood and composite materials. With a 260 mm diameter, 30 mm bore and 48 ATB-profile teeth arranged with a negative hook angle, this blade is intended for controlled, clean crosscuts and general woodworking tasks on table saws and mitre saws that accept a 30 mm arbor.

Advantages

The ATB (alternate top bevel) tooth geometry combined with a negative hook provides reduced tear-out on laminates and veneered panels while maintaining a smooth finish on solid wood. The 48-tooth count balances cutting speed and surface quality for crosscuts and finish work. A 30 mm bore ensures compatibility with many common saw arbors, and the blade's construction supports consistent performance and dimensional stability during typical woodworking operations.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid wood and engineered wood panels
• Cutting laminated boards, veneered panels and other composites
• Finish carpentry and furniture component cutting
• Use in table saws and mitre saws with 30 mm arbor

Key specifications

• Diameter: 260 mm
• Arbor (bore) size: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 48
• Tooth geometry: ATB (alternate top bevel)
• Hook angle: negative
• Intended materials: wood and composite materials

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible table saw or mitre saw spindle with a 30 mm arbor, ensuring correct orientation so that teeth point toward the direction of rotation. Verify that the saw is disconnected from power and follow the tool manufacturer's instructions for blade replacement and tightening. Set appropriate blade height and fence/stop for the cutting task, use steady feed rates and avoid forcing the workpiece into the blade. For crosscuts, support the workpiece firmly and use guides or fences to maintain square cuts.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, dust mask) and ensure the saw's guards are in place. Match blade speed and feed rate to material thickness: slower feed for dense composites and thicker boards helps reduce burning and chipping. Periodically inspect the blade for wear or damage and replace when teeth become dull or chipped. When cutting veneered or laminated surfaces, consider using an anti-tear-out support or zero-clearance insert for best edge quality.
