How to Choose a Circular Saw Blade

When choosing a circular saw blade, it is important to consider the following factors:

• Blade diameter: The blade diameter must match the arbor size of your circular saw.
• Tooth count: Blades with more teeth produce smoother cuts, but they cut slower. Blades with fewer teeth cut faster, but the cuts may not be as smooth.
• Material type: Different blade materials are designed for cutting different materials. For example, carbide blades are ideal for cutting wood and metal, while diamond blades are ideal for cutting masonry.

How Many Teeth Do I Need on My Circular Saw Blade

The number of teeth on a circular saw blade determines the smoothness of the cut. Blades with more teeth produce smoother cuts, but they cut slower. Blades with fewer teeth cut faster, but the cuts may not be as smooth.

For general-purpose woodworking, a blade with 24-40 teeth is a good choice. For crosscutting, a blade with 40-60 teeth is ideal. For ripping, a blade with 24-32 teeth is ideal. For fine finish work, a blade with 80 or more teeth is ideal.
