For a general overview of blade types and how they work, see circular saw blade design and usage .

Blades for Wood

Wood cutting blades are designed for fast, efficient cutting in timber, MDF, plywood and laminate. Lower tooth counts allow faster cuts, while higher tooth counts produce smoother finishes.

Blades for Metal

Metal cutting blades are built for durability and precision. These are used for cutting steel, aluminium and non-ferrous metals, delivering controlled and consistent results.

Blades for Plastic & Multi-Material

Multi-purpose blades are suitable for cutting plastics, laminate and composite materials. Fine-tooth designs help reduce chipping and improve surface finish.

Choosing the Right Blade Size

Blades are available in a range of sizes including 125mm, 150mm, 165mm and 10 inch. Always match the blade diameter and bore size to your saw for safe and efficient use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What circular saw blade should I use for cutting wood?

Circular saw blades for wood typically use tungsten carbide tipped (TCT) teeth for fast cutting and clean finishes. Lower tooth counts are ideal for ripping timber quickly, while higher tooth counts produce smoother cuts in plywood, MDF, laminate and engineered boards.

What circular saw blade should I use for cutting metal?

Metal cutting circular saw blades are designed for cutting aluminium, steel and other metals safely. These blades use specialised tooth geometry and carbide tips to handle harder materials. Always use a blade rated for metal to ensure safe and efficient cutting.

Can circular saw blades cut plastic?

Yes, circular saw blades can cut plastics such as PVC, acrylic and composite panels. Fine-tooth blades or plastic cutting blades help reduce chipping and melting, producing cleaner edges and better finishes.

What is a carbide circular saw blade?

A carbide circular saw blade uses tungsten carbide tips bonded to a steel blade body. These tips stay sharp longer than standard steel blades and provide improved durability when cutting wood, laminate, plastics and composite materials.

What size circular saw blade do I need?

Circular saw blades come in common sizes such as 125mm, 150mm, 165mm and 180mm. The correct blade size depends on your saw model and arbor size, so always check your tool specifications before choosing a blade.

What circular saw blade should I use for different materials?

Different circular saw blades are designed for specific materials. Wood cutting blades are optimised for timber and boards, while metal cutting blades are designed for aluminium and steel. Choosing the correct blade improves performance, safety and blade lifespan.
