Bosch Expert for Wood AD 160 mm — Circular saw blade, 48 teeth, 20 mm bore

A Bosch Expert for Wood AD 160 mm circular saw blade engineered for clean crosscuts and long service life in solid wood and wood-based panels, featuring carbide-tipped Microteq teeth and an extra-narrow kerf for reduced cutting resistance.

• Microteq carbide teeth for extended life
• Extra-narrow kerf reduces friction and load
• 160 mm diameter with 20 mm bore
• 48 teeth for clean crosscuts in wood

High-performance cutting with lower power draw

The blade is specified for efficient material removal while maintaining a fine finish. With 48 teeth and a 1.8 mm cutting width, the geometry is tuned to balance cut quality and feed rate; fewer vibrations are produced and the workpiece surface is less prone to splintering. The extra-narrow kerf lowers friction during cutting, which means less energy is consumed per cut and cordless saws can benefit from extended battery runtime. Technical terms: kerf refers to the width of the cut made by the blade, and a narrower kerf removes less material and therefore reduces load on the machine.

Long service life through carbide tips and Microteq technology

Teeth are carbide‑tipped (hardmetal) and manufactured with Microteq precision, which increases resistance to wear compared with standard high-speed steel teeth. This hardfacing is especially effective when tackling abrasive wood-based panels or coated boards, where edge retention is critical. The result is a blade that keeps its cutting geometry longer, reducing the frequency of replacements and downtime. The investment is justified by prolonged cutting performance and consistent results over many cycles.

Precise dimensions for reliable machine compatibility

Measured and marked dimensions ensure compatibility with a range of table and handheld circular saws: 160 mm diameter, 20 mm bore, and 1.8 mm cutting width make the blade suitable for standardised arbor mounts and fine crosscutting applications. The tooth count and geometry are selected to deliver smooth cuts across different grain directions. When mounted correctly, the blade provides predictable kerf width and repeatable tolerances, which supports efficient workflow in production and workshop environments.

Versatile use across timber and engineered boards

Designed for “all types of wood and wood-based materials”, this blade performs well on solid timber, plywood, MDF and laminated panels. The tooth technology reduces heat build-up and limits burning on veneered surfaces, while the stable cutting edge helps to achieve a clean finish on both crosscuts and general ripping tasks. For users seeking a professional-grade consumable, the combination of Microteq teeth and a narrow kerf delivers a mix of precision and longevity suited to trade workshops and industrial wood processing.

FAQ

What types of wood can be cut with this blade?
The Bosch Expert for Wood AD 160 mm is specified for solid timber and a wide range of wood-based materials, including plywood, MDF and laminated panels.

Will the extra-narrow kerf fit standard circular saws?
Yes — the blade’s 160 mm diameter and 20 mm bore match common arbor sizes; the narrow kerf affects material removal but not mounting compatibility.

How does Microteq tooth technology help in daily use?
Microteq carbide teeth on the blade retain sharpness longer than standard teeth, so the cutting edge stays effective through prolonged use and abrasive panel cuts.

Is the blade suitable for cordless saws?
The reduced cutting width and lower friction mean the blade places less load on the tool, which can help extend battery runtime on cordless saws when compared with wider-kerf alternatives.

How often should the blade be replaced?
Replacement depends on material and usage intensity; the carbide-tipped Microteq teeth extend service life, but visible wear or reduced cut quality indicate it is time for renewal.
