Expert Wood AD 160 mm circular saw blade — 24 teeth, 20 mm bore (Bosch)

The Expert Wood AD 160 mm is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade designed for efficient, clean cutting of all types of wood and engineered wood products in workshop and light industrial settings.

• Carbide-tipped Microteq teeth for long life
• Extra-narrow 2.2 mm kerf reduces friction
• Suitable for all wood and wood-based materials
• 20 mm bore for standard arbor fitting

Faster, cleaner cuts for productivity gains

The combination of 24 precision teeth and Microteq carbide tips delivers consistently clean cuts with minimal tear-out, making the blade suitable for furniture components and finishing tasks. The cutting geometry reduces material splintering on both faces, which lessens the need for secondary sanding. As a result, workshop throughput can improve while time spent on finishing operations is reduced, supporting a smoother production flow without compromising surface quality.

Lower drag, longer runtimes for cordless tools

An extra-narrow 2.2 mm kerf reduces the contact area between blade and material, producing reduced friction during cuts. This reduction in resistance translates directly into lower power draw on both corded and cordless saws, which can help extend battery runtime on portable machines and reduce heat build-up during repetitive cuts. The narrow cut also aids waste reduction by removing less material per pass, improving material utilisation.

Durable edge retention for cost-efficient use

Thanks to the Microteq carbide-tipped teeth, the blade offers enhanced durability compared with conventional steel blades. The carbide tips retain a sharp edge under continuous use, meaning fewer blade changes and longer intervals between re-tipping or replacement. For workshops focused on predictable operating costs and uptime, this blade provides a reliable tool life that supports steady output over time.

Broad compatibility across wood materials

Engineered for all types of wood and wood-based materials, the blade performs well on solid timber, plywood, MDF and laminates. The 20 mm bore ensures compatibility with many standard circular saws and table saws, while the tooth geometry balances fast feed rates with a fine finish. Installation is straightforward on compatible arbors and the blade’s design supports both rip and cross-cut tasks depending on machine setup.

FAQ

Which materials can this blade cut effectively?
The Expert Wood AD 160 mm blade is designed for solid wood, plywood, MDF and other wood-based materials, offering a balance of speed and finish for both panel and board applications.

Will the blade fit a standard table saw arbor?
The blade has a 20 mm bore and fits machines with a 20 mm arbor or with an appropriate reducer; check the saw’s arbor specification before mounting the blade.

How does the extra-narrow 2.2 mm kerf affect performance?
A 2.2 mm kerf reduces cutting resistance and material waste, resulting in lower power draw and often improved battery runtime on cordless saws while maintaining a good surface finish.

What maintenance is recommended to preserve the Microteq teeth?
Regular cleaning of pitch and resin, avoiding overheating, and using appropriate feed rates will help maintain the Microteq carbide-tipped teeth and prolong blade life.
