Circular Saw Blade Specifications

Blade body thickness is a critical factor influencing both weight and durability. A lighter base body reduces energy consumption per machine, but it must be balanced against the need for impact and warp resistance in demanding industrial applications. It's important to note that the blade body is always thinner than the teeth. This intentional design minimizes excessive friction and prevents rapid heat buildup during cutting. Maintaining uniform thickness would lead to burn marks and slow cutting due to increased friction.

By carefully selecting the appropriate thickness and considering the strategic design of a circular saw blade, professionals can significantly extend blade lifespan, minimize energy waste, and ensure efficient operation. With our commitment to quality and innovation, we lead the industry, delivering reliable solutions that exceed expectations.

The central hole in a saw blade, known as the bore, is crucial for attaching the blade to the saw. It's important that the bore size matches your saw's specifications, although you can use a larger bore blade by employing a reducer ring or bush for attachment. Ensure the blade's diameter does not exceed the maximum size your circular saw can accommodate; this information is typically found in the product specifications. Opting for a slightly smaller blade is not hazardous, but it will limit the cutting depth. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions or check the size of the blade currently on your saw.
The clamping length of a circular blade is vital for securing it in 4- and 5-axis CNC machining centers. This ensures not only maximum blade life but also superior surface finish. It is crucial to match the clamp length precisely with your saw's specifications.
When choosing a saw, the sawblade diameter is crucial. This measurement spans the blade from edge to edge, usually in inches or millimeters. Diameters vary from a few inches to several feet, directly affecting the depth of cut. Larger blades typically enable deeper cuts, while smaller ones are more limited with thick materials. The diameter also affects cut quality, with larger blades often providing cleaner results.
The kerf of a sawblade, the width of the cutting tooth, influences the precision and efficiency of cuts through materials like wood, metal, or plastic. It determines the amount of material removed, affecting cut accuracy and quality. Our expertise in crafting sawblades ensures unmatched reliability and precision, showcasing our commitment to innovation and excellence. Rely on our proven track record and forward-thinking approach to meet your cutting needs confidently.
The rake or hook angle is a definitive measure of each tooth's forward or backward lean, a crucial element in the cutting process. Consider the hook angle as the precise entry angle of the tip into the material—an essential determinant of cutting efficiency. This angle dictates how the teeth will engage with the material. A high or positive hook angle means the outermost tip of each tooth will engage aggressively, offering faster feed rates. In contrast, a low or negative hook angle results in a less aggressive interaction, providing reduced aggression.

Increasing the wear resistance of a blade often reduces their bending strength due to physical constraints. As the hardness of the blade steel increases, blades tend to become more brittle. Conversely, softer blade steel offers greater bending strength. These characteristics can be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on the specific application.

For instance, polycrystalline diamond, known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance, is also one of the most brittle cutting materials, prone to breaking upon impact. On the opposite end, high-speed steel (HS) is among the softer cutting materials, offering better impact resistance but dulling quickly.

LEUCO has developed carbide-tipped saw blades using various combinations of cobalt and tungsten carbide steel (HW), broadening the range of applications. Consequently, LEUCO provides several grades of carbide-tipped saw blades:

  • HL Solid 60 to 25 is ideal for softwoods like spruce, fir, pine, and alder.
  • HL Solid 25 to HL Board 06 is suited for cutting particle boards, MDF, and hardwoods.
  • HL Board 05 to 03 works well with wood-based panels, plastics, and hardwoods.
  • HL Board 03 to 01 is best for highly abrasive materials like highly compressed or cement-bound particle boards.
The tooth count on a saw blade is crucial for professionals choosing the right blade. It affects cut quality, speed, and material compatibility. Generally, more teeth produce smoother cuts but slower, while fewer teeth allow faster cuts with a rougher finish.
Pinholes are essential mounting features for certain cutting machines. When specifying pinholes, include the quantity, pinhole diameter, bore diameter, and countersink details, if necessary (e.g., 2|10|60). Our specification format is as follows: the quantity of pinholes first, the hole diameter second (in mm), followed by the distance. This distance is from the center of the bore to the center of the pinhole (for one pinhole), between pinhole centers (for two pinholes), or the pitch circle diameter for multiple pinholes. For example, "2|10|60" indicates two pinholes with a 10mm diameter, where the last dimension is the distance across the bore from one hole center to the other.

Circular blade tooth design has a big influence on the edge quality and is dependent on the workpiece material, the mode of application, and the direction of cut. The grouping of the teeth affects the cutting of the blade and these factors determine the effectiveness of the many solutions we can provide.
