Stehle | Saw blades for cross cutting ø 160 mm

The shape, angle and number of teeth determines the material the blade is suitable for.

These are saw blades for transverse final cuts. For cutting softwood, hardwood, exotic wood and wood-based materials (plywood, OSB etc).

The alternating helical tooth (marked WZ or ATB) is the most suitable option for cutting solid wood. Zthe cutter blades are regularly alternately ground to the right and left, which ensures a high cutting performance, and sometimes they are supplemented with a flat tooth and thus can be used for cutting grooves, which is not suitable for the alternately angled blade.

Adjusting the height (extension) of the saw blade depending on the thickness of the material, this is a constant debate. Therefore, there are certain rules, but as it is in life, there are many exceptions.

The height of the blade extension influences the geometry of the cut and thus its quality. The ideal is to extend the blade by the height of the SK tooth slice above the material to be cut, which should guarantee a really clean and smooth cut, as this will give you the greatest number of teeth in the cut. A side benefit can be that in case of any accident the disc will not cut into you completely.

However, sometimes it is necessary to cut longitudinally with the cross-cutting blade and it is necessary to extend the blade to the maximum cut (the minimum number of teeth, often only two for weak materials) and thus the blade better removes the chips from the cut and therefore it is possible to make an emergency longitudinal cut.

Suitable for:

• Hand circular saws (mafl).
• Trimming saws.
• Miter saws.

Type and geometry of teeth:

• WZ - alternating tooth
• ZWZ - alternate tooth, uneven tooth spacing
• FWZ - alternating tooth + flat tooth
