Circular saw blade NORTON 280 mm × 30 mm, 24 teeth, for wood and composites

Circular saw blade NORTON 280 mm × 30 mm, 24 teeth, for wood and composites is a general-purpose blade engineered for cutting timber, plywood, MDF and composite boards. With a 280 mm diameter and a 30 mm bore, the blade is compatible with circular saws and table saws that accept 30 mm arbors. The 24-tooth configuration offers a balance between cutting speed and edge quality, suitable for both crosscuts and rip cuts in workshop and professional carpentry settings.

Advantages

The 24-tooth design provides efficient material removal while maintaining acceptable finish on a variety of wood-based materials. The 280 mm diameter supports deeper cutting capacity compared to smaller blades, enabling thicker stock processing in a single pass. A standardized 30 mm bore ensures compatibility with common saw arbor sizes used in many circular saws and table saws. The blade is intended for general-purpose use across timber, plywood, MDF and most composite panels, reducing the need to change blades for different tasks.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting softwood and hardwood boards
• Rip cutting timber and dimensional lumber
• Cutting plywood and MDF sheets
• Working with composite boards and laminated panels
• Use in workshop circular saws and table saws with 30 mm arbor

Key specifications

• Blade diameter: 280 mm
• Bore (arbor) diameter: 30 mm
• Number of teeth: 24
• Material compatibility: solid wood, plywood, MDF, composite boards
• Typical applications: crosscut and rip cut operations

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw or table saw following the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the blade is mounted with the teeth pointing in the correct rotation direction and the arbor nut is securely tightened. Set the saw speed and feed rate appropriate for the material—slower feed for denser materials—to avoid burning or splintering. Use proper fences or guides for straight cuts and ensure the workpiece is firmly supported and clamped. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye and hearing protection and follow standard safety procedures when operating the saw.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match the blade to the specific cutting task: use steady, consistent feed for rip cuts and controlled crossfeed for finish crosscuts. Inspect the blade regularly for wear or damage and replace it when teeth are chipped or the cut quality degrades. Use dust extraction where possible when cutting plywood, MDF or composites to reduce airborne particles and maintain a clear line of sight to the cut.
