Circular saw blade for workshop and site use, engineered for clean, low-splinter cutting across wood, laminates and plastics. Perfect for joiners and serious DIYers who need durable blades that hold their edge, Saxton Blades TCT Circular Saw Blade. Should workshop owners favour a specialised blade over a general-purpose alternative?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Clean, low-splinter performance on softwood, hardwood, plywood, MDF and laminated panels
- • Best for: Carpenters, joiners and keen DIYers needing smooth finished edges on panels and boards
- • Not ideal for: Cutting ferrous metals or masonry materials
185mm diameter blade with 80 teeth, 20mm bore and an included 16mm reduction ring. Tungsten carbide teeth on a fully hardened steel body and ATB tooth geometry deliver accuracy and reduced tearout.
Smoother finished edges – thanks to ATB alternating top bevel tooth geometry
ATB teeth score the workpiece fibres ahead of the main cut, so each tooth slices the surface before the following teeth remove the chip. That sequence reduces splintering on veneers, laminated panels and crosscuts.
Cleaner edges require less sanding or edge trimming after cutting, making the blade well suited to cabinetry and finishing tasks.
Extended cutting life – with tungsten carbide teeth and a hardened steel blade body
Tungsten carbide resists wear and heat, while a fully hardened steel body keeps the blade true and resists bending under load. The positive cutting angle aids efficient chip removal and lowers friction.
Fewer blade changes during extended jobs and more consistent cut quality over repeated use reduce downtime on site or in the workshop.
Easy fit across common saws – with a 20mm bore and included 16mm reduction ring
A 20mm bore suits many modern circular saw arbors, while the supplied 16mm reduction ring adapts the blade to smaller spindles. Compatibility notes include 184–185mm saw sizes for hand-held, mitre and table saws.
Quick swapping between tools without sourcing extra adapters keeps projects moving and simplifies kit management.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this blade fit my circular saw?
A: Compatibility includes saws that use a 185mm blade with a 20mm or 16mm bore, and a 16mm reduction ring is supplied to adapt smaller arbors. Also suitable for many 184mm circular saws.
Q: What materials can it cut cleanly?
A: Designed for along-the-grain and cross-cutting on softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, multi-board panels, MDF, plated and counter-plated panels, laminated and bi-laminate plastics, and fibre-reinforced plastic.
Q: Does the blade resist wear and bending?
A: A fully hardened steel blade body resists bending and deflection, while tungsten carbide teeth provide wear and heat resistance to maintain edge life.
