Used across a wide range of machines, from milling machines to dedicated circular sawing machines, circular saw blades deliver high productivity and precise cut quality when the correct blade diameter, thickness, bore diameter and tooth form are selected.<\/p>\n<p>Watch Temak Teknik\u2019s informative video below covering circular saw blades, tooth forms, material grades and cutting parameters:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Daire Testereler\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DiXMToGY_fw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Key Selection Criteria for Circular Saw Blades<\/h2>\n<h2>1. Circular Saw Blade Diameter and Thickness<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Diameter:<\/strong> Determined by the capacity of the machine being used and the depth of the workpiece to be cut. As blade diameter increases, peripheral speed rises; however, the risk of wobble also increases, so attention must be paid to clamping rigidity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thickness:<\/strong> Standard thicknesses in the industry generally range from <strong>0.2 mm to 6 mm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step-Over Formula (<\/strong><span class=\"math inline\">0.75 \u00d7 Thickness<\/span><strong>):<\/strong> When a slot wider than the blade thickness is to be cut (for example, cutting a 10 mm slot with a 4 mm thick blade), the blade thickness is not added directly when stepping over pass by pass. To avoid leaving steps or burrs on the surface, the step-over is calculated using the formula <span class=\"math inline\">0.75 \u00d7 Blade Thickness<\/span> (e.g. a step-over of <span class=\"math inline\">4 mm \u00d7 0.75 = 3 mm<\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Number of Teeth and Tooth Angle Type<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h2>Number of Teeth<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coarse Pitch:<\/strong> Facilitates chip evacuation in soft materials (wood, aluminium) and is preferred for rough, fast cutting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fine Pitch:<\/strong> Gives a smoother result in hard steels and in <strong>finishing<\/strong> operations where a fine surface finish is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Tooth Angles<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wide Angle:<\/strong> Ideal for soft materials and wood cutting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Right Angle:<\/strong> Used for polyamide, plastics and confectionery-type materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Narrow Angle:<\/strong> Suitable for hard metals (steel, aluminium, etc.) and applications requiring a high surface finish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Bore Diameter and Arbor Mounting<\/h2>\n<p>The bore diameter (e.g. 22 mm, 32 mm, etc.) is determined in proportion to the blade diameter and thickness. To prevent runout and wobble on circular saw blades, the arbor holders should be checked axially with a dial indicator, and runout-free, rigid clamping must be ensured.<\/p>\n<h2>Material and Coating Options<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>HSS (High-Speed Steel) Circular Saw Blades:<\/strong> Widely used in general metal cutting operations. Hard coatings such as <strong>TiN<\/strong> (Titanium Nitride) or <strong>TiAlN<\/strong> (Titanium Aluminium Nitride) can be applied to increase tool life and performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbide-Tipped (Tungsten Carbide) Circular Saw Blades:<\/strong> Preferred especially for bundle\/tube cutting and on high-speed CNC circular sawing machines. Their high heat resistance allows operation at higher speeds and feed rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Correct Use and Cooling Recommendations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cutting Speed and RPM:<\/strong> The spindle speed (RPM) should be selected taking into account the hardness and rigidity of the workpiece. High speeds and excessive feed should be avoided on hard materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use of Coolant:<\/strong> To prevent excessive frictional heat and tooth dulling, soluble oil\/coolant or suitable air\/oil mist systems should be applied continuously to the cutting zone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guide to circular saw blades: diameter, thickness, tooth pitch and angles, bore size, HSS and carbide grades, coatings and cutting tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/temak.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
