Description:

This CMT Orange saw blade with 48 carbide teeth (HW) and a negative face angle of -5° is designed as a universal tool for use in mitre saws. It offers reliable and smooth cuts across a wide range of wood materials such as softwood, hardwood, plywood and MDF. The special tooth geometry ensures better control of the cut and reduces kickback, which is important for smooth and safe cutting.

Advantages and characteristics of carbide teeth (HW) with negative face angle:

• Accuracy and control: The negative face angle reduces the aggressiveness of the cut, which prevents material tearing and provides a smoother, more controlled blade pass.
• Recoil reduction: The negative tooth angle design reduces the risk of kickback, ensuring safer and smoother cutting.
• Suitable for cutting at an angle: The blade is optimised for mitre saws where precise cutting at an angle is required, which is common in finishing work.

Summary of the advantages of carbide teeth (HW) with negative face angle:

• Smooth and efficient cuts without burrs
• Recoil reduction for increased safety and control
• Universal use on various types of wood materials

Recommendations for use:

With 48 teeth and a negative face angle of -5°, this blade is designed for reliable and smooth cutting of wooden materials.

Reasons for the negative face angle of mitre saws:

Blades with a negative face angle are ideal for mitre saws as they reduce the aggressiveness of the cut and ensure controlled, smooth passes through the material. This tooth angle allows for a finer "cut" of the material, which minimises the risk of tearing and burrs, thus improving the quality of the final cut. The negative face angle also reduces friction and kickback, increasing safety and extending the life of the disc. The advantage is that when cutting at an angle, which is common with mitre saws, the cut remains precise and clean without overheating or rapid tool wear.

The blade should only overhang the material by the height of the SK tooth slice for best performance and safety.

Suitable for:

Miter and table saws, including net and cordless models.
