160mm Circular Saw Blade Expert For Wood 48 Teeth WZ Carbide Tipped 20mm Bore 2.6mm Kerf - Robert Bosch Power Tools GmbH

Take advantage of the blade's carbide-tipped teeth and Microteq geometry for consistent cuts and long service life, while the extra-narrow 2.6 mm kerf lowers friction and helps extend battery runtime on cordless saws; order the blade directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav team for application advice.

Expert Wood AD 160 mm circular saw blade – 48 teeth, 20 mm bore, 2.6 mm kerf (Bosch)

The Expert Wood AD 160 mm circular saw blade is a carbide-tipped blade engineered for efficient, long-lasting cutting across solid wood and engineered wood panels

• Carbide-tipped teeth for long service life
• Microteq tooth geometry for consistent cuts
• Extra-narrow 2.6 mm kerf reduces friction
• Suitable for all types of wood and panels

Greater efficiency through reduced friction and longer runtime

The extra-narrow 2.6 mm kerf significantly reduces material removal per cut, which lowers cutting resistance and the required motor power. For battery-powered equipment this translates into extended battery runtime and fewer interruptions for recharging, while stationary saws benefit from lower energy consumption and less heat buildup. The concept of kerf is the width of the cut made by the blade; a narrower kerf means less waste and improved feed behaviour without compromising stability when the blade is correctly supported.

Durable cutting performance owing to carbide tips and Microteq design

Carbide-tipped teeth provide high wear resistance and retain sharpness far longer than plain steel edges, resulting in consistent dimensional accuracy over many cuts. The Microteq tooth geometry is optimised to balance cutting aggressiveness with surface quality, so results are both fast and clean. This combination reduces the frequency of blade changes and rework, supporting continuous production and lowering total operating costs in busy workshops.

One blade for a wide range of wood materials

Designed for use with solid timber as well as engineered boards, the blade accommodates common joinery and carpentry demands. The tooth count and geometry favour a clean finish on both rip and cross cuts in furniture making, cabinet work and general joinery. Reduced splintering and improved edge quality minimise sanding and finishing time, which increases throughput and improves the final product appearance.

Straightforward fitment and stable cutting behaviour

Key dimensions such as the 160 mm diameter, 48 teeth and 20 mm bore mean the blade is compatible with a broad range of compact mitre and table saws that accept a 20 mm arbor. The blade’s construction and narrow kerf combine to maintain stable tracking and reduced vibration during operation, which contributes to safer handling and a more predictable cut quality. Where arbor reduction rings are used, ensure correct seating and locking according to the saw manufacturer’s instructions.

FAQ

What materials is this blade suitable for?
The Expert Wood AD blade is specified for solid wood and wood-based panels, providing clean cuts on a wide range of timber materials.

How does the 2.6 mm kerf affect performance?
A 2.6 mm kerf reduces the material removed per cut, lowering friction and energy use; this contributes to extended battery runtime on cordless saws and less waste.

What does Microteq mean for cutting quality?
Microteq refers to the tooth geometry that balances efficient material removal with a refined surface finish, helping to achieve consistent results over extended use.

Is the 20 mm bore compatible with common saws?
The 20 mm bore fits many compact saw arbors; where an alternative arbor size is needed, use a suitable reduction ring as recommended by the saw manufacturer.

How many teeth does the blade have and what is the effect?
With 48 teeth, the blade provides a compromise between cutting speed and finish quality, making it suitable for fine crosscuts and general-purpose woodworking.
