Question 1

What are saw blades used for?

Accepted Answer

Saw blades are cutting accessories used with tools such as circular saws, jigsaws, reciprocating saws and multi-tools. They are designed to cut materials including wood, metal, plastic, laminate and composite boards. Choosing the correct saw blade improves cutting speed, accuracy and finish.

Question 2

What circular saw blade should I use for wood?

Circular saw blades for wood typically use tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) teeth to provide durability and clean cuts. Blades with fewer teeth cut faster for framing work, while higher tooth counts produce smoother finishes when cutting boards, laminate or sheet materials.

Accepted Answer

Reciprocating saw blades are designed for fast cutting and demolition work. They can cut through timber, nails, metal pipe, plastics and construction materials. Bi-metal reciprocating blades are especially durable for heavy-duty tasks.
