Saw Blades
How to choose saw blades
Sub-type
Choose sub-type first: Tool Blades for powered saws, Tool Accessories for rotary, Hardware for manual.
Material
Match material: wood for timber, metal or stainless steel for pipe, porcelain for tile, wood/plastic for mixed jobs.
Colour
Colour (silver, black, grey, green) may hint at a brand line, but confirm the material label, not just hue.
Tooth count
Consider tooth count from the range: lower TPI for fast rip, higher TPI for clean crosscut.
Size
Size must fit your saw, a 230mm blade needs a larger guard than a 184mm model.
What's good
- Tool Blades in this range fit powered saws like circular, jigsaw, and reciprocating models, so you match the machine you already own.
- Tool Accessories cover rotary cutting discs, letting you cut metal or porcelain on a multitool without a big blade.
- Hardware includes manual hacksaw blades, useful when no power tool or socket is available.
- Material options run from wood and aluminium to steel and porcelain, so the blade suits the stock you cut.
- Within Tool Blades, sets with several tooth counts (20T, 24T, 40T appear here) give rough and fine cut from one box.
Things to watch
- Tool Blades are saw specific, a circular blade will not fit a jigsaw, so check diameter and bore before buying.
- Rotary Tool Accessories are small discs that wear quickly on metal, expect to replace them often.
- Hardware hacksaw blades need a frame and muscle, they are slow on long cuts.
- Mixed material blades (wood/metal, metal/wood) cut both but leave a rougher edge than a dedicated wood or metal blade.
- Colour variants (green, blue, orange, cobalt) mark lines, yet they do not state tooth geometry, so read the material axis.
Care & maintenance
Dry after use
Dry steel and stainless steel blades after use, this stops rust on teeth.
Safe storage
Store circular or reciprocating blades in their pack or a tray to shield the edge.
Gentle pressure
With rotary discs, use light pressure only, side force snaps them.
Release tension
Slacken hacksaw blades in Hardware when parked, it saves frame tension.
