Festool DIA 160x1,8x20 F4 ABRASIVE MATERIALS Diamond Circular Saw Blade
At a Glance: 160mm diamond saw blade with 4 teeth for fast cutting in abrasive cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded boards
The Festool DIA 160x1,8x20 F4 ABRASIVE MATERIALS diamond circular saw blade is the specialist solution for cutting abrasive board materials with speed, accuracy and long service life. Designed for cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded chipboard and fibreboard, this blade uses high-quality PCD diamond cutting tips to deliver rapid sawing progress and excellent durability in materials that would quickly wear down standard saw blades. When paired with compatible Festool plunge-cut saws, guide rails and dust extraction, it becomes a clean, precise and seriously efficient cutting setup for demanding site and workshop applications.
This blade is fitted with high-quality PCD polycrystalline diamond cutting tips, making it ideal for abrasive materials such as cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded fibreboard and chipboard. It is built for long service life, fast cutting progress and accurate results in tough board materials.
Product highlights
- Diamond cutting edge: PCD diamond cutting tips provide very long service life in abrasive materials.
- Made for abrasive boards: Ideal for cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded chipboard and fibreboard.
- High cutting performance: Designed for rapid sawing progress in tough, abrasive sheet materials.
- Precise system cutting: Works with compatible Festool plunge-cut saws and guide rails for accurate cuts.
- Dust-conscious cutting: Best used with Festool CTM mobile dust extractors for cleaner, safer work.
Extra Information
- This blade is part of Festool&s ABRASIVE MATERIALS range for demanding cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded board applications.
- The blade is fitted with PCD polycrystalline diamond cutting tips for excellent service life in abrasive materials.
- Use this blade instead of a standard wood blade when cutting cement-bonded or gypsum-bonded boards.
- For best results, use with a compatible Festool plunge-cut saw, guide rail and suitable dust extraction.
- Festool recommends this blade for precise machining of abrasive materials with minimal dust when used with CTM mobile dust extractors.
Pro Tips
- Do not use a normal wood blade for cement-bonded or gypsum-bonded boards. Abrasive materials can destroy standard blades very quickly.
- Use a Festool guide rail for straight, accurate cuts and better control through dense board material.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor when cutting abrasive boards to help control dust and keep the cut line visible.
- Use a steady feed rate and let the diamond blade do the work. Forcing the saw can reduce cut quality and blade life.
How to Use
- Disconnect the saw from the power supply or remove the battery before changing the blade.
- Confirm that the blade diameter, bore size and machine compatibility match your saw.
- Select this blade for cement-bonded, gypsum-bonded and other abrasive board materials.
- Fit the blade with the rotation direction matching the direction shown on the saw.
- Tighten the blade securely according to the saw&s operating instructions.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor before cutting abrasive materials.
- Use a guide rail where possible and feed the saw smoothly through the board.
Features
- 160mm blade diameter: Suitable for compatible Festool saws using 160mm blades.
- 1.80mm cutting width: Thin cutting width supports efficient cutting with reduced material removal.
- 20mm bore: Designed for compatible Festool saws with a 20mm blade arbor.
- 4 tooth design: Specialist diamond tooth layout for abrasive board materials.
- PCD diamond tips: Polycrystalline diamond cutting tips offer excellent durability in abrasive applications.
- F tooth shape: Tooth form designed for cutting cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded boards.
Benefits
- Longer blade life: PCD diamond tips last much longer than standard saw teeth when cutting abrasive materials.
- Faster progress: Designed to saw cement-bonded and gypsum-bonded boards quickly and efficiently.
- Cleaner working: When used with suitable dust extraction, it helps reduce dust during abrasive board cutting.
- Accurate cuts: Works well with Festool guide rails for straight, controlled and repeatable cuts.
- Correct blade matching: Protects your standard wood blades from unnecessary wear by using the right blade for abrasive materials.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting cement-bonded, gypsum-bonded or abrasive board materials.
- Use a suitable dust extractor when cutting abrasive boards to help reduce harmful dust exposure.
- Disconnect the saw from power or remove the battery before fitting or changing the blade.
- Only use the blade on compatible saws with the correct blade diameter, bore size and speed rating.
- Check the blade for damage, cracks or worn cutting tips before use.
- Make sure the blade is fitted in the correct rotation direction.
- Secure the workpiece properly and keep hands away from the cutting path.
- Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw or removing offcuts.
