How to Choose a Circular Saw Blade
A step-by-step way to narrow down a circular saw blade before you send an inquiry.
Step 1 — Start from the workpiece material
The workpiece material drives the tipping material and tooth geometry: wood and panels, aluminium, acrylic, bamboo, composites or engineered stone each behave differently at the cutting edge.
Step 2 — Define the cut
Step 3 — Fix the specification parameters
Confirm diameter, kerf, plate, bore (arbor hole), tooth count, tooth style, pitch, hook angle, tip material, gullet and expansion slot. Definitions are on the terminology page.
Step 4 — Confirm machine fit
Before ordering, confirm machine model, arbor (bore) size, diameter, kerf and tooth count with us. We do not claim guaranteed compatibility.
Frequently asked questions
Do more teeth always give a better cut?
Not always. Tooth count is chosen together with the cut type, feed rate and material. Send us your parameters and we will advise.
