BLADE CONTRACTOR 185 X 24T 16mm CIRCULAR SAW TCT
Features
- 185mm diameter blade Gives you excellent cutting depth while remaining compatible with many handheld and table saws.
- 24T carbide-tipped teeth Balanced tooth count offering good feed rate and finish for general timber and board applications.
- 16mm bore size Fits many circular saws out-of-the-box, reducing the need for extra bushes or adaptors.
- Contractor Series build quality Designed for the rigours of site use — frequent cutting, diverse material types and varying conditions.
- General-purpose tooth geometry Suitable for tasks including trimming, sizing, cross-cutting and board work in construction settings.
Benefits
- Reliable on-site performance: Built to handle daily trade use, delivering consistent results and fewer unexpected issues.
- Efficient cutting: The 24-tooth design offers a solid balance of feed speed and edge quality for broad tasks.
- Minimal fuss fitment: The 16mm bore means quick compatibility with many saws — less wait, more cutting.
- Professional finish you can trust: Carbide-tipped teeth and Contractor Series construction ensure the blade stays sharp, cuts true and supports productivity.
Extra Information
- Ideal for contractors, carpenters, joinery teams and site crews who demand dependable, routine performance from their cutting blades.
- Recommended for use on softwoods, many hardwoods (check suitability for specific species), plywood, chipboard and other common wood-based panels.
- Ensure your circular saw is rated for 185mm blades and that the bore size and maximum RPM match your saw’s specification before use. According to product listings the max RPM is ~9000.
- To extend blade life: avoid forcing the cut, keep the blade clean of resin/pitch build-up, ensure your saw base plate and fence are aligned, and store the blade safely when not in use.
Pro Tip
- For quicker, straighter cuts on panels, clamp a straight-edge guide and run a shallow “scoring” pass before the full cut. With the Contractor Series 185mm × 24T blade you’ll get good results with less sanding and finish work afterward.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting to guard 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: the rotation arrow must match the saw’s direction of travel, and all flanges, guards and mounting hardware must be secure.
- Use appropriate support for the workpiece, keep hands clear of the cut region 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.
