EXPERT for Wood 168 mm circular saw blade — 16 teeth, 20 mm bore (BOSCH)

The EXPERT for Wood 168 mm circular saw blade is a robust, carbide‑tipped blade engineered for long service life and consistent performance in woodworking applications.

• Outstanding lifetime in wood
• Carbide‑tipped for exceptional robustness
• Additional coating for extended service life
• 20 mm bore compatible with reducer rings

Built to keep production running with fewer interruptions

The blade combines Bosch Carbide Technology with an extra coating to provide noticeably increased durability in wood cutting tasks. The use of hard-facing carbide on the tooth tips means abrasives and resins are resisted better than with standard steel blades, resulting in longer intervals between blade changes. For production environments and busy workshops, this translates into less downtime and a more predictable tool lifecycle.

Precise cuts and efficient material use

With a 168 mm diameter, 16 teeth and a 1.8 mm kerf, the geometry is balanced to deliver clean cuts while keeping chip removal and feed forces efficient. The relatively narrow kerf reduces material loss and requires less motor power for the same throughput, which is particularly advantageous on portable saws and spindle saws with moderate power. The tooth count supports a compromise between smooth finish and cutting speed, suitable for a variety of woodworking tasks.

Fast mounting and broad machine compatibility

The blade's 20 mm bore accepts the standard reducer rings found in many workshop saws, allowing installation on a wide range of machines without modification. The bore also functions with or without reducer rings, providing flexibility when switching between table saws, mitre saws and certain plunge saws. The additional coating reduces friction and helps keep the cutting edge cooler, contributing to longer service intervals and less need for frequent regrinding.

FAQ

Which materials is this blade intended for?
The EXPERT for Wood circular saw blade is specified for woodworking applications and is optimised for cutting timber and wood‑based panels, delivering a long service life thanks to its carbide tipping and coating.

Will the blade fit different workshop saws?
Yes, the blade's 20 mm bore is compatible with common reducer rings, enabling installation on many table saws and mitre saws; the SKU for reference is 8004039281NW.

How does the coating affect performance?
The additional coating reduces friction, helps dissipate heat and extends the lifetime of the cutting edge, resulting in more consistent cuts and fewer blade changes over time.

What maintenance keeps the blade performing well?
Regular cleaning of pitch and resin, correct machine alignment and avoiding prolonged burning cuts will preserve performance; regrinding is possible when the carbide is still serviceable.

Is this blade suitable for high‑speed sawing?
The blade is designed for robust, long‑lasting use in woodworking; machine speed compatibility should follow the saw manufacturer's specifications to match blade diameter and tooth design.
