Circular saw blade STANLEY 500 mm (20") 11 TPI for cutting — 3.0 mm kerf

Circular saw blade STANLEY 500 mm (20") 11 TPI with a 3.0 mm kerf is a purpose-designed saw blade for through and cross cutting of wood and wood-based panel materials. With a 500 mm diameter and medium tooth count, the blade is intended for machines that accept 500 mm blades and for tasks requiring a balance between cutting speed and edge quality. The 3.0 mm kerf provides a stable cut line while maintaining sufficient material removal for efficient sawing.

Advantages

The blade combines a large diameter with an 11 TPI tooth configuration to deliver smooth crosscuts and acceptable feed rates on solid wood and panels. The 3.0 mm kerf contributes to cutting stability and reduced blade wandering, helping to produce consistent results on repeated cuts. Constructed to fit standard 500 mm saws, it is suitable for routine carpentry and workshop use where reliability and predictable cutting behavior are required.

Suitable for

• Crosscutting solid timber and lumber
• Cutting particleboard, MDF and plywood panels
• General joinery and carpentry workshop tasks
• Production environments using 500 mm blade saws

Key specifications

• Diameter: 500 mm (20")
• Tooth pitch: 11 TPI (teeth per inch)
• Kerf (cutting width): 3.0 mm
• Intended materials: wood and wood-based panels

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible circular saw or table saw designed for 500 mm blades, ensuring the saw is disconnected from power before fitting. Verify that the blade direction matches the saw’s rotation marking and secure the blade according to the machine manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust saw speed and feed rate appropriate to the workpiece; use steady, even feed for crosscuts in timber and panels. Observe alignment and fence settings to maintain straight cuts and reduce tear-out on panel faces.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection. For best life and performance, avoid cutting materials with embedded metal or excessive abrasive contaminants and perform routine inspection for tooth wear or damage. When cutting veneered or laminated panels, consider using a sacrificial zero-clearance insert or scoring blade to minimise surface chipping.
