Circular Saw Blade PRO Wood AD 160 mm — 48T, Carbide-Tipped (BOSCH)

The Circular Saw Blade PRO Wood AD 160 mm is a precision blade for handheld circular saws, engineered for fine, quality cuts across softwood, hardwood and engineered boards

• 160 mm diameter for handheld saws
• 48-tooth geometry for fine finishing cuts
• Carbide-tipped teeth for clean edges
• Expansion slots reduce vibration and heat

Precision cuts that reduce rework and finishing time

The fine 48-tooth configuration and carbide-tipped cutting edges deliver a consistently smooth finish that minimises sanding and touch-up work after the cut. The combination of a 1.8 mm cut width and a 1.2 mm plate thickness provides an efficient balance between material removal and stability, so fewer corrective steps are required in production or on-site joinery. This measurable improvement in finish quality translates directly into time saved during assembly and final finishing, helping maintain a steady workflow and reliable output in small series or contract work.

Built for durability and consistent performance

Manufactured from SK5 steel, hardened to above 40 HRC, the blade body offers dimensional stability during heavy use. The carbide tips, ground with precision, retain sharpness for extended runtimes on both soft and hard species. Body and expansion slots are engineered to damp vibration, reduce operational noise and lower heat build-up, which together extend cutting life and preserve tooth geometry under continuous use. These technical measures provide predictable results batch after batch, supporting a cost-effective production rhythm in workshops and small industrial settings.

Versatile application across wood-based materials

The blade is specified as standard for wood and is suitable for a wide range of panel and board materials including veneered and laminated panels, plywood, and MDF, as well as solid softwood and hardwood. The slightly finer tooth pitch produces a cleaner edge on delicate surfaces and reduces tear-out on laminated faces, making it well suited to carpentry, furniture manufacturing and precision joinery tasks where appearance and edge integrity matter.

Fitments and practical details for everyday use

The saw blade accepts a 20 mm bore and can be adapted with the supplied reducer to 16 mm arbors, ensuring compatibility with most handheld circular saws. The reduced kerf and robust tooth geometry balance cutting efficiency with lower motor load, which can be beneficial when working with battery-powered saws or on long runs where consistent performance matters. Installation and alignment are straightforward; the blade construction prioritises reliable seating and minimal run-out to achieve consistent radial accuracy.

FAQ

Is this blade suitable for handheld circular saws?
Yes. The Circular Saw Blade PRO Wood AD 160 mm is designed for handheld circular saws and includes a 20/16 mm bore option for common arbor sizes.

Which materials can be cut cleanly with this blade?
The blade performs well on softwood, hardwood, plywood, veneered and laminated panels, and MDF, providing fine, low-tear finishes across these wood-based materials.

How does the blade reduce vibration and heat?
Expansion and relief slots in the SK5 steel body dampen vibrations and allow thermal expansion, which reduces heat build-up and helps preserve tooth geometry during prolonged cutting.

Can the blade be used on battery-powered saws?
Yes. The 1.8 mm cut width and balanced tooth geometry lower motor load, making the blade suitable for many cordless circular saws while maintaining cut quality.

What maintenance extends the life of the carbide tips?
Keeping blade teeth clean from pitch and resin, using appropriate feed rates and avoiding excessive lateral forces will prolong the carbide tip life and maintain cutting performance.
