PRO Wood Optiline circular saw blade 160 mm – 48T, carbide (Bosch)

PRO Wood Optiline circular saw blade for hand circular saws, engineered for fine, low-noise cuts across softwood, hardwood, plywood and MDF

• 160 mm diameter for hand circular saws
• 48 carbide teeth for fine cuts
• 1.8 mm kerf for material savings
• Includes 20/16 mm reduction ring

Precision cutting performance for demanding workshop tasks

The circular blade offers a combination of 48 teeth and carbide-tipped cutting edges to deliver consistently clean edges on a broad range of timber products. The SK5 steel core, hardened to over 40 HRC, provides the dimensional stability required for repeatable results in production and trade applications. This construction reduces the risk of blade distortion at speed, which directly improves cut quality and reduces rework in series production.

Efficient material use and reduced follow-up work

A slim 1.8 mm kerf means less material is converted into waste while maintaining sufficient rigidity for safe operation. Reduced kerf also allows faster feed rates on many machines, increasing throughput without compromising finish quality. In addition, body and expansion slots act as vibration dampers, lowering audible noise and reducing heat generation during prolonged cutting cycles—factors that extend both blade life and the consistency of the cutting result.

Versatile application across engineered and solid wood panels

Designed as a standard blade for wood, the tool achieves excellent results on softwood, hardwood, plywood, laminated panels, chipboard and MDF. The tooth geometry (WZ) is optimised for a fine finish, making the blade suitable where post-processing should be minimised. Where a fine edge and minimal tear-out are essential, this specification reduces the need for sanding or edge trimming, saving time on finishing steps.

Easy fitment and robust construction for everyday use

The blade includes a 20/16 mm bore arrangement with reduction ring for compatibility with a wide range of hand-held circular saws. The stump thickness of 1.2 mm combined with carbide teeth ensures a stable cutting line and long-lasting edge retention under normal workshop conditions. For dependable integration into a busy shop environment, the design supports continuous work with lower thermal stress and reduced oscillation, promoting steady results and fewer stoppages for tool changes.

FAQ

Which materials can this blade cut effectively?
The PRO Wood Optiline circular saw blade is suitable for softwood, hardwood, plywood, laminated panels, chipboard and MDF, providing fine cuts with minimal tear-out.

What does the 1.8 mm kerf mean for production?
A 1.8 mm kerf reduces material waste and can enable faster feed rates while maintaining cut quality with the blade’s carbide-tipped teeth and stable SK5 core.

Is the blade compatible with different saw bore sizes?
Yes, the blade is supplied with a 20/16 mm bore arrangement and a reduction ring for compatibility with many hand-held circular saws; refer to SKU 8000341993NW for precise matching.

How do the expansion slots benefit cutting performance?
The body and expansion slots minimise vibration and dissipate heat, which lowers noise levels and improves edge life during continuous cutting operations.

How often should the blade be inspected or replaced?
Inspection intervals depend on use; the blade’s carbide teeth and hardened core extend service life, but regular checks for wear and damage are recommended to maintain the cutting result and safety.
