Circular saw blade AD 160 mm Z.42 HLTCG – Multi‑material blade, Bosch

The Circular saw blade AD 160 mm Z.42 HLTCG is a multi‑material circular blade designed for hand, mitre and table saws, delivering robust, clean cuts in aluminium, non‑ferrous metals, plastics, epoxy resin and wood.

• Multi‑material cutting for aluminium, plastics, wood
• 160 mm diameter with 20/16 mm bore
• 42 HLTCG carbide teeth for durable cuts
• Vibration‑reducing expansion slots for quieter use

Consistent precision across mixed materials

The blade combines a narrow cut width of 2.4 mm with a precision ground carbide tooth configuration, engineered to produce straight, repeatable cuts in a wide range of substrates. Its design reduces material pull‑out on plastics and minimises burr formation on aluminium, so operators benefit from a clean finish and reduced rework. Equipment planners will appreciate the balance between cut quality and productivity that this blade delivers in mixed‑material production runs.

Tooth geometry and durability for abrasive tasks

The HLTCG (High‑Low Triple Chip Ground) tooth geometry alternates high and low cutting edges to distribute load and shear abrasive surfaces more evenly; this increases wear resistance and prevents rapid tooth chipping when cutting filled plastics or epoxy compounds. Precision‑sharpened carbide teeth sustain cutting performance over repeated cycles, making the blade suitable for workshop environments where a single tool must handle diverse jobs without frequent replacement.

Reduced vibration and controlled heat for longer life

A body made from SK5 hardened steel (>40 HRC) provides a stiff core that maintains true running even under lateral forces. Combined with strategically placed expansion slots, the blade reduces vibration and dampens noise during operation, while also lowering heat generation at the kerf. The result is improved blade life and a more consistent surface finish, particularly beneficial in settings where machine downtime and part rework impact throughput.

Compatibility, maintenance and productivity gains

With a 160 mm diameter and interchangeable bore (20 / 16 mm with reducer ring), the blade fits most common hand, mitre and table saw spindles and can be integrated easily into existing tooling stocks. For metal cutting—notably aluminium—the use of universal cutting oil 2 607 001 409 considerably extends service life and preserves carbide edges. Choosing this blade supports a lean workshop strategy: fewer blade changes, steady cycle times and predictable part quality.

FAQ

Which materials can this blade cut effectively?
The Circular saw blade AD 160 mm Z.42 HLTCG is rated for aluminium, non‑ferrous metals, plastic, epoxy resin and wood, providing versatile performance for mixed‑material operations.

Which saw types are compatible with the blade?
Compatibility includes hand saws, mitre (chop) saws and table saws; the blade’s 20 / 16 mm bore option suits common spindle standards.

What does HLTCG mean and why is it important?
HLTCG stands for High‑Low Triple Chip Ground; this tooth geometry alternates high and low cutters to improve cut quality and wear resistance, especially when working with abrasive or fibre‑filled materials.

How can blade life be extended when cutting metal?
Using the recommended universal cutting oil 2 607 001 409 during metal cutting—for example aluminium—significantly increases tool life and helps preserve the carbide tooth edges on the blade.

What are the key dimensional details to check before installation?
Confirm the 160 mm diameter and the 20 / 16 mm bore (reducer ring included where required) and the 2.4 mm cutting width to ensure correct fit and desired kerf for the application.
