Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 24 tooth blade good for?

A 24 tooth blade is a general purpose and framing blade. Fewer teeth cut faster but leave a rougher finish, so 24T suits framing, roofing and decking where speed matters and the cut is not on show. For a fine finish on trim, a higher tooth blade is the better pick.

Will this blade fit my circular saw?

The blade is 184mm (7 1/4 inch) with a 16mm bore, which is the common size for most trade circular saws. Check the bore and diameter against your saw before fitting. The listing rates it for use in circular saws.

How do the expansion slots help?

The laser-cut expansion slots give the blade room to expand as it heats up during the cut, which stops the body warping, and they break up the noise and vibration. The result is a smoother, quieter cut and less strain on the saw.

Can I use this blade for ripping timber?

Yes. The 24 tooth pattern and thin kerf are well suited to fast rip cuts in softwood and framing timber. It is one of the blades the OX Pro range pitches at the framing and general construction side of the trade.
