Benefits
- Reliable job-site performance: Built to perform under trade conditions, meaning fewer surprises and consistent results.
- Efficient cutting: The 40-tooth configuration offers a strong feed rate for general materials while still delivering a clean edge.
- Plug-and-play fitment: With a 16mm bore, this blade eliminates extra adapters for compatible saws, saving time.
- Professional finish you can count on: Carbide-tipped teeth and the Contractor Series design ensure durability and consistent edge quality throughout the blade’s life.
Extra Information
- Ideal for contractors, carpenters, joinery teams and site crews who demand tools that deliver performance without compromise.
- Recommended for cutting softwoods, many hardwoods (depending on species), plywood, chipboard and other common wood-based panels.
- Ensure your circular saw is rated for 185mm blades and that your arbor/bore size and maximum RPM are compatible before use.
- To extend blade life: avoid forcing the cut, clear resin/pitch build-up, ensure your saw’s base plate and fence are aligned properly, and store the blade safely when not in use.
Pro Tip
- For best results when cutting sheet goods or longer boards on site: clamp a straight-edge guide, start with a shallow scoring pass, and then proceed with a full-depth cut. Using this Contractor Series blade with 40 teeth, you’ll achieve straight, clean edges with minimal sanding or finishing required.

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: the rotation arrow must match the saw’s direction of travel and that all flanges and guards are secure.
- Use proper support for the workpiece, keep your 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 the blade has stopped completely before setting the saw down.
