Circular saw blade Expert Wood AD 160 mm — Carbide-tipped, 48 teeth, 20 mm bore (Bosch)

The Circular saw blade Expert Wood AD 160 mm is a carbide-tipped blade engineered for fast, accurate cuts in solid wood and wood-based panels, designed to reduce friction and extend cordless tool runtime.

• Carbide-tipped teeth for long service life
• Microteq tooth geometry for consistent cuts
• Extra-narrow 2.2 mm kerf reduces friction
• Suitable for all solid wood and wood-based panels

Precision and durability for demanding workshop tasks

The Expert Wood AD 160 mm circular saw blade pairs carbide-tipped cutting edges with a specialised tooth design to ensure sustained sharpness and wear resistance. Carbide tips are harder than high-speed steel and retain their cutting geometry under heat and abrasion, which means fewer blade changes and less downtime. This translates into more predictable production processes and cost efficiencies in repetitive cutting operations.

Lower energy consumption and extended cordless runtime

An extra-narrow kerf of 2.2 mm reduces the amount of material removed per cut, which lowers cutting resistance and heat generation. The practical result is reduced load on saw motors, particularly beneficial for battery-powered saws where every reduction in friction helps to extend battery runtime. For production environments using cordless tools, the narrower kerf contributes directly to more cuts per battery charge and improved throughput.

Versatility across timber and panel materials

The tooth geometry branded as Microteq is developed to deliver clean, splinter-minimised cuts in a wide range of substrates, from softwood and hardwood to engineered board products. The combination of 48 teeth and Microteq shaping produces fine, controlled results on face cuts and finish operations, making the blade suitable for joinery, cabinetmaking and precision panel work where surface quality matters.

Mounting, compatibility and handling notes

A 20 mm bore is provided for secure fitting to compatible class-standard arbors; this nominal diameter ensures concentric running when mounted correctly. The blade’s balance and tooth distribution have been optimised for consistent feed and low vibration, which assists in achieving straight cuts and reduces the need for secondary finishing. Standard workshop safety measures and correct saw setup remain essential for reliable performance.

FAQ

What materials is the blade suitable for?
The Circular saw blade Expert Wood AD 160 mm is suitable for solid wood, hardwood, softwood and a wide range of wood-based panels, delivering clean finishes across these materials.

How does the 2.2 mm kerf affect performance?
A 2.2 mm kerf reduces the volume of material removed and cutting resistance, which lowers power demand and can extend battery runtime on cordless saws while maintaining cutting quality.

Is the blade compatible with standard 20 mm arbors?
Yes, the blade has a 20 mm bore and is intended for use with saws that accept this standard arbor diameter; correct mounting is required for concentric running.

What advantage do Microteq teeth offer?
Microteq tooth geometry is designed for consistent cutting performance and long life, producing smoother edges and reduced splintering on face cuts.

How many teeth are there and what finish can be expected?
With 48 teeth, the blade produces fine, controlled cuts suitable for finish and precision joinery applications.
