Selecting The Best Circular Saw Blade
If you have a mitre saw, table saw, handheld circular saw or any other kind of circular saw then Solent Tools can help you with selecting the best circular saw blade for you. It is important to consider the size of the blade, the number of teeth, the finish you desire and the material you are cutting including wood, aluminium, plastic & more.
We strive to find out the required specifications of every saw and list them on our website under their model number so that you can order with confidence. We also try to put the quality of the blade, what it can cut and the kind of finish you can expect from it. If you have the model number simply put it into the search bar above and hopefully we have already done the hard work, there will be a list of a few options for it. If we have not then we encourage you to contact us with what you have and we can help you find the best blade for your saw and cutting needs.
How many teeth should I have on my Circular Saw Blade?
In short; the more teeth a blade has, the finer the finish it will give.
There is a point where increasing the number of teeth on the blade will have no effect on the finish as the teeth, this is due to there no being enough room to clear the cut material. We do not sell blades with excessive numbers of teeth for this reason.
A blade with more teeth will take longer to cut any material than a blade with fewer teeth.
Whilst the number of teeth on the blade will improve the finish another factor is the depth of cut of your saw. This mainly applies to handheld circular saws and table saws where you can adjust the depth of cut, if you adjust it so that the teeth of the blade just clear the material you are cutting you will see an improved finish as there are more teeth in the material at once.
In the description of every blade on our website we list the kind of finish that you can expect from it and what it will cut.
What is the difference between the tooth configurations on a Circular Saw Blade?
For the vast majority of wood cutting you would use ‘Alternative Top Bevel’
Should you be looking to cut harder materials such as MDF or Laminated wood and require a fine finish then a ‘Triple Chip Grind’ is worth considering.
For cutting Aluminium (Alloy) or Plastic then a ‘Triple Chip Grind’ is really the only safe option.
Steel & Stainless Steel cannot be cut by a ‘wood cutting’ mitre saw, table saw or handheld circular saw as they rev too high and as such we do not sell such a blade. To cut these materials you would need to use a ‘Dry Cut Saw‘, specific metal cutting saw or something that uses an abrasive cutting disc.
Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) tooth
Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) The most common circular saw blade tooth formation. The tips are ground to alternate between a right and left hand bevel. This tooth configuration gives a smoother cut when cross cutting natural woods and veneered plywood. The alternating beveled teeth form a knife-like edge on either side of the blade and will give you a cleaner cut.
Triple Chip Grind (TCG or TC) tooth
Triple Chip Grind (TCG) The TCG configuration is normally found on aluminium and non-ferrous cutting blades but is also excellent at cutting harder materials like laminates, MDF, and plastics. Teeth alternate between a flat raking tooth and a higher “trapeze” tooth.
Flat Top (FT) tooth
Flat Top (FT) If fast cutting down the grain is your priority then these circular saw blades do the job. Very fast and quick. The flat top tooth is the most efficient design for cutting and raking material out of the cut.
Combination Tooth (Comb.)
Combination Tooth (Comb.) This type of blade is fairly rare. (4&1) These blades are designed to do both cross cutting and ripping. The teeth are arranged in groups of five – four ATB teeth and one FT — with a large gullet in between the groups.
High Alternate Top Bevel (HiATB) tooth
High Alternate Top Bevel (HiATB) The HiATB configuration is used for extra-fine cross cutting and to cut materials surfaced with melamine, which is prone to chipping. The high bevel angle increases the knife-like action at the edge of the blade.
