With carbide-tipped teeth, heat-treated construction, and thoughtful cooling design, this 150 mm cutting blade balances longevity, precision, and consistent performance in metal cutting applications.

Key Features

• 32 tungsten carbide teeth for extended life and consistently clean cuts compared with standard steel blades
• Heat-treated blade construction to withstand high temperatures and resist warping during heavy use
• Wider cooling channel design to promote efficient heat dissipation and reduce thermal wear
• Rust-resistant coating provides durability and longevity in occasional humid or dusty workshop environments

Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 150 mm
• Blade thickness (kerf): 1.5 mm
• Bore ( arbor): 20 mm
• Teeth: 32 carbide teeth

Performance and Benefits

Carbide teeth offer superior wear resistance, delivering longer service life than ordinary steel teeth in metal cutting tasks. The heat-treated body maintains dimensional stability under high cutting temperatures, helping to preserve a true cut and reduce blade wander. The broadened cooling channel accelerates heat dissipation, contributing to smoother cuts and less edge dulling during extended use. The corrosion-resistant coating adds durability, supporting long-term reliability in typical workshop conditions.

Applications and Use Cases

Designed for metal cutting in alloy carpentry and woodworking settings, this blade is suitable for cutting metal profiles, angle irons, and other common metalwork materials on compatible metal saws. Its solid carbide teeth and robust construction make it a practical choice for professionals who value precision cuts and extended blade life in demanding projects.

Safety and Usage Tips

• Always wear protective equipment: goggles, a dust mask, leather gloves, and hearing protection to prevent hazards from cutting operations
• Ensure proper alignment and secure clamping of workpieces to maintain accuracy and reduce kickback
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for blade speed and compatible saw models to maximize performance and lifespan
