Circular Saw Blades

Circular saw blades are one of the most widely used types of cutting saw blades, designed for fast, straight cutting in timber, boards and sheet materials. These saw blades are available for cutting wood, laminate, MDF, plastic and non-ferrous metals. High-quality carbide-tipped (TCT) cutting blades provide longer life and cleaner cuts, especially in hardwood and engineered materials.

Jigsaw Blades

Jigsaw blades are ideal for detailed work where precision matters. These cutting saw blades are used for curved cuts, fine trimming and intricate shapes in wood, plastics and metal. Choosing the right cutting blade — fine tooth for smooth finishes or coarse for speed — ensures better results and less material damage.

Multi-Tool Blades

Multi-tool blades (oscillating cutting blades) are extremely versatile. These saw blades are commonly used for plunge cuts, trimming and working in confined spaces. Suitable for wood, plasterboard, plastic, metal and flooring materials, they are essential cutting saw blades for renovation and repair work.

Reciprocating Saw Blades

Reciprocating saw blades are designed for aggressive cutting tasks. These heavy-duty cutting saw blades are used for demolition, cutting timber with nails, metal pipe, plastic and mixed construction materials. Bi-metal saw blades provide durability and flexibility under demanding conditions.

Hacksaw Blades

Hacksaw blades are a traditional and reliable form of cutting blade used for controlled hand cutting. These saw blades are commonly used for metal, plastic pipe and smaller materials, making them ideal for workshop, plumbing and general repair tasks.

Choosing the Right Cutting Saw Blade

Selecting the correct cutting saw blade depends on both the tool and the material. Using the wrong saw blade can reduce efficiency and damage materials.

  • Wood: Use carbide-tipped circular saw blades or wood-cutting jigsaw blades
  • Metal: Choose metal cutting circular blades, hacksaw blades or bi-metal reciprocating blades
  • Plastic & laminate: Fine-tooth cutting blades reduce chipping
  • Demolition: Reciprocating saw blades handle mixed materials

What circular saw blade should I use for wood?

Circular saw blades for wood typically use tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) teeth for durability and clean cuts. Lower tooth count blades cut faster for rough work, while higher tooth count blades produce smoother finishes when cutting boards, laminate or sheet materials.

What jigsaw blade should I use for cutting metal or plastic?

Jigsaw blades vary depending on the material. Fine-tooth blades are used for metal such as steel and aluminium, while specialist blades are designed for plastics and laminate. Choosing the correct cutting blade reduces heat build-up and improves cut quality.

What are multi-tool blades used for?

Multi-tool blades are oscillating cutting blades used for plunge cuts, trimming and detailed work in tight spaces. They are suitable for wood, plasterboard, plastic and metal, making them ideal for renovation and installation tasks.

What are reciprocating saw blades used for?

Reciprocating saw blades are heavy-duty cutting saw blades designed for fast cutting and demolition work. They are used for cutting timber, nails, metal pipe, plastics and mixed construction materials. Bi-metal blades offer added strength and flexibility.

What are hacksaw blades used for?

Hacksaw blades are fine-tooth cutting blades used with hand saws to cut metal, plastic pipe and smaller materials. They are commonly used in plumbing, fabrication and workshop tasks where controlled cutting is required.
