BLADE CONTRACTOR 170 X 24T 20/16 CIRCULAR SAW TCT
Features
- 170mm diameter blade Delivers good cutting depth while maintaining manageable saw size and control on site.
- 24T carbide-tipped teeth Tooth configuration that combines efficient cutting and decent edge finish across general purpose wood and board tasks.
- 20/16mm bore configuration Standard 20mm bore with 16mm reducing bush included — compatible with a wide range of circular saw models.
- Contractor Series build quality Designed for professional use under real-world conditions — rugged, consistent, job-site ready.
- General-purpose tooth geometry Versatile design suited for trimming, sizing, cross-cut and common sheet material tasks.
Benefits
- Dependable site performance: Engineered to handle the rigours of daily trade use and deliver predictable results.
- Balanced speed and finish: The 24-tooth count ensures faster cutting while still producing clean enough edges for many construction and workshop tasks.
- Fits your tool fleet: The 20/16mm bore means less hassle when swapping blades across tools with different arbor sizes.
- Professional finish you can trust: Carbide-tipped teeth and Contractor Series quality ensure the blade stays sharp, cuts true and keeps your workflow moving.
Extra Information
- Ideal for contractors, carpenters, joinery teams and site crews who demand tools that deliver without compromise.
- Recommended for cutting softwoods, selected hardwoods (check material suitability), plywood, chipboard and common wood-based panels.
- Suitable for circular saws rated for 170mm blades and matching bore size; always check your saw’s maximum RPM and bore compatibility before use.
- To extend blade life: avoid forcing the cut, keep the blade clean from resin/pitch build-up, ensure your saw base plate and guide are properly aligned, and store the blade safely when not in use.
Pro Tip
- When sizing sheet goods or cross-cutting on site, clamp a straight edge guide and begin with a shallow scoring pass. Finish the cut in one smooth feed using your Contractor blade — the 24-tooth geometry will give you straight, clean cuts that reduce follow-up sanding and finishing effort.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting to protect against flying chips, noise and fine dust.
- Always disconnect the saw from its power source before fitting, adjusting or removing the blade.
- Ensure the blade is mounted correctly, that the arrow matches the saw’s direction of rotation and that all guards and flanges are secure.
- Support the workpiece properly, keep hands clear of the cutting line and avoid binding or kick-back situations.
- Allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the cut and wait until it has stopped completely before setting the saw down or changing blades.
