Discover how our circular saw blades can help you.
Quick access to the right blade.
Always select your circular saw blade with the upcoming sawing application in mind, because choosing the right saw blade will result in effortlessly perfect results. In addition to the material to be machined, the position, shape and number of teeth play a decisive role. Our colour coding makes it easy to find the right saw blade for your sawing job.

Tailored to your perfect cut: Cutting angle, number of teeth and tooth geometry

In addition to matching the material to be sawn, the cutting angle, tooth geometry and number of teeth also play a decisive role when sawing. As a general rule:

  • The higher the number of teeth, the better the cutting result.
  • Therefore, if you need a clean, precise and splinter-free cut for your application, you should choose a circular saw blade with many teeth, as these cut the material consistently.
  • A blade with a lower number of teeth is sufficient for separating cuts, for example on invisible edges or in coarse materials such as OSB boards, where speed is more important than a splinter-free cutting edge.

The cutting direction is also crucial for woodwork.

  • Saw blades with more teeth are generally better suited to cuts across the grain.
  • When cutting lengthways in the direction of the grain, you can often cut more efficiently with fewer teeth.

The smallest detail makes all the difference – the tooth geometry describes the specific shape and arrangement of the teeth on the blade. It has a significant impact on the way the saw blade cuts the material. We have summarised the most important tooth shapes for you:

Tooth shapes
Tooth shapes – cross-cut tooth

Cross-cut tooth

The teeth are slanted on the left and right and cut alternately. This reduces the load on the individual teeth. This causes the saw blade to run smoothly and have a longer service life. In addition, this toothing ensures ideal cutting quality.

Tooth shapes – trapezoidal cross-cut tooth

Trapezoidal cross-cut tooth

In addition to the cross-cut teeth, a "trapezoidal tooth" is used. This relieves the cross-cut teeth and ensures a high and even running smoothness as well as a long service life. Excellent cutting quality is also achieved here.

Tooth shapes – trapezoidal flat tooth

Trapezoidal flat tooth

Trapezoidal and flat teeth are arranged alternately. The trapezoidal tooth is responsible for sawing progress, while the flat tooth ensures a clean cutting edge. The robust toothing results in a longer saw blade service life.

Tooth shapes – flat tooth with variable chamfer

Flat tooth with variable chamfer

The flat teeth are slanted on the left and right and cut alternately, thus relieving the individual teeth. This results in a consistent quality and a longer service life.

Tooth shapes – flat tooth

Flat tooth

The cutting edges of the teeth are straight. This makes the toothing robust. Each tooth cuts in the same way and is therefore used for hard materials such as steel and abrasive materials.

Small details with a big effect.

Sharp for longer

The high-quality carbide of our saw teeth ensures excellent cutting results that last. Carbide ensures a long service life and enables multiple resharpening operations. Our circular saw blades can be resharpened up to eight times.

Smooth and low-vibration.

The lasered expansion slots in the saw blade reduce vibrations, increasing the stability and smoothness of the circular saw blades. The reduced vibrations also lower the friction that occurs during sawing and the thermal expansion this creates.

Thinner, faster, further.

With our thin-cutting saw blades for portable circular saws and table saws, you can saw twice as fast – with consistently perfect cut quality and absolutely smooth running. The reduced cutting width results in lower material chipping, which generates less dust.

Just right for your saw.
Our circular saw blades fit portable circular saws, hand-held plunge-cut saws, table saws and compound mitre saws from all common manufacturers. To ensure that the saw blade fits your saw, the diameter and the bore of the holder must be correctly chosen. Complete information on the diameters and bores of our saw blades can be found here:

Frequently asked questions and answers about the new circular saw blades

Which circular saw blade is best suited to cutting solid wood?
Which circular saw blade is best suited to cutting solid wood? In principle, all WOOD saw blades are suitable for cutting solid wood. Depending on the cutting direction, we recommend the WOOD RIP CUT for longitudinal cuts in the direction of the material grain, and the WOOD FINE CUT for cross cuts against the grain.
Can saw blades with a cutting width of 1.8 mm also be used in conjunction with the HKC 55 and HK 55?
Yes, all 1.8 mm saw blades are also suitable for the HKC 55 and HK 55. The only exception is the Abrasive Materials diamond saw blade, which is only suitable for the TS 55 F and TSC 55 K.
Can Festool saw blades with a cutting width of 1.8 mm be resharpened?
Yes, our saw blades can be resharpened up to ten times as usual.
Can saw blades with a cutting width of 1.8 mm be used on the TS 55 R and TSC 55?
No, because the guide wedge of the TS 55 R and the TSC 55 is wider (2.2 mm cutting width) than the cutting width of the new saw blades (1.8 mm cutting width).
Can saw blades with a cutting width of 2.2 mm be used on the TS 55 F and the TSC 55 K?
Only saw blades with a cutting width of 1.8 mm should be used on the TS 55 F and the TSC 55 K.
Can the guide wedge of the TS 55 R and TSC 55 be converted so that the new saw blades (1.8 mm cutting width) can be used?
This is not possible for technical authorisation reasons.
Can the 160 mm saw blades also be used on the TS 60 K?
No, the TS 60 K is designed exclusively for saw blades with a diameter of 168 mm.
