Saw blade terminology

Arbor:
The shaft that turns the saw blade.

ATB:
Alternate Top Bevel. The tips on the saw blade bevels from left to right in sequence. Each tip has a sharp point that result in a clean, shear cut leaving a fine finish with minimal chipping. For use in plywood, veneer, particle board and wood.

Anti-kickback:
The gullet is shaped like a camel's hump, also called a limiter, to limit the amount of material that can safely be cut by each tooth.

Bore:
The center hole diameter of the saw blade.

Combination:
Circular saw blades that can be used both for crosscutting and ripping.

Crosscut:
A cut made across the grain of the wood. Cutting wood to length.

Dado:
A set of stacked blades designed to produce grooves.

Depth of cut:
The maximum depth of cut safely achievable determined by the power tool and saw blade diameter.

Diameter:
The outside of the saw blade measured directly accross from one tip to the other opposing tip.

Expansion slots:
Heat is generated with each cut due to friction. All saw blades have expansion slots in the body of the blade to have an outlet to release tension and warping.

Flange:
Falnges are used to clamp the saw blade to the arbor of the saw. Most of the time, the flanges cover more or less a third of the saw blade's diameter. It is important that the flanges are always clean to prevent warping and vibration.

Flat top grind (FTG):
Unlike the ATB, the tips are ground flat with a 0° top angle. The tips are more durable and longer lasting. Mostly used with rip saw blades.

Gullet:
The hollowed out shape between teeth that assists with chip clearance. Saw blades have different gullet designs. Mostly dependant on the material being cut.

Hollow ground:
The tips are concave shaped.

Hook angle/rake/pitch:
Forward angled tips tend to grab material, like a gouge carving into the material. Backward angled tips don't have grabbing at all, like a scissor cutting the material.

Kerf:
The width of cut.

Rip:
A cut made along the grain direction of the wood. Cutting wood to width.

Shim/bushing:
Depending on the bore of the saw blade and the arbor of the saw. A shim or bushing is available to adapt the saw blade to the arbor. No bushings or shims are available in Ø 22.23mm.

TCG:
Triple Chip Grind. A flat top tooth is followed by a trapezoidal tooth. Designed for saw blades to eliminate chipping in brittle materials like chipboard and laminated material.

Thin kerf:
The saw blades are slightly narrower than standard saw blades. A lot less power is needed to make cuts and it has a slightly lower material waste. Keep in mind to recalibrate the scale on table saws when fitting a thin kerf saw blade.

Features:

  • Optimized for Wood Cutting: This blade is designed to handle a variety of woods, including softwood, hardwood, and composite materials. It is perfect for making precise crosscuts, miters, and bevel cuts, especially when smooth finishes are essential.
  • Professional-Grade Precision: With 80 teeth and tungsten carbide tips, the blade is ideal for producing clean, burr-free cuts. It minimizes tear-out and splintering, making it suitable for cabinetry, furniture making, and fine woodworking.
  • Compatibility with Festool KAPEX: This saw blade is specifically designed to work with the Festool KAPEX miter saw, ensuring optimal performance in combination with the saw's advanced features like precision angle adjustments and smooth operation.
  • Low Vibration and Noise: The blade is engineered to reduce vibrations, resulting in smoother cuts, better control, and less noise. This feature also helps extend the life of the blade and the saw.

Applications:

  • Woodworking: Ideal for crosscutting and fine finishing work in furniture making, cabinetry, trim carpentry, and joinery.
  • Hardwood and Softwood Cutting: Suitable for cutting a wide range of wood types, including hard and softwoods, plywood, and laminated materials, ensuring smooth edges and accurate cuts.
  • Miter and Bevel Cuts: Perfect for use with miter saws like the Festool KAPEX, allowing for precise angle and bevel cuts on intricate woodwork projects.

Key Specifications:

  • Diameter: 260 mm - The blade's overall diameter, suitable for medium to large cutting tasks, ensuring compatibility with the Festool KAPEX saw.
  • Kerf (Blade Thickness): 2.5 mm - The thickness of the blade that affects the width of the cut, providing a balance between durability and precision.
  • Bore Size: 30 mm - The central hole of the blade, designed to fit onto the arbor of the saw, ensuring a secure fit for smooth operation.
  • Number of Teeth: 80T - The blade has 80 teeth, offering a fine, smooth finish with minimal splintering. A high tooth count is optimal for crosscutting and working with hardwoods or fine finish cuts.
  • TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped): Each tooth is tipped with tungsten carbide, making the blade highly durable and long-lasting. Tungsten carbide ensures the blade remains sharp, even when cutting through dense woods.
