Blade Contractor Alum 170 X 60t 20/16 Circular Saw Tct

Features

• 170mm diameter blade Offers the depth needed for sheet and profile cutting while remaining compatible with site circular saws.
• 60T carbide-tipped teeth High tooth count facilitates smoother cuts in aluminium and light alloys, reducing finishing work.
• 20/16mm bore configuration Standard 20mm bore with 16mm reducing bush ensures compatibility with a wide range of saws.
• Contractor Series build quality Professional construction designed for frequent use in demanding environments.
• Aluminium-specific tooth geometry Tailored for non-ferrous metals rather than typical wood cutting, for cleaner, burr-minimised cuts.

Benefits

• Superior edge quality: The 60-tooth configuration produces cleaner, finer cuts in aluminium, with less burr and finishing required.
• Durable, everyday performance: Contractor Series reliability ensures you can depend on it job after job in busy trade or fabrication settings.
• Tool-fleet versatility: The 20/16mm bore means you can fit this blade to several different saws without additional adaptors.
• Time-saving on finish work: Cleaner initial cuts mean less time spent on sanding or trimming afterwards, boosting productivity.

Extra Information

• Ideal for aluminium joiners, fabricators, shopfitters, tradespeople working with metal frames, extrusions and sheet aluminium.
• Designed for use on aluminium and other non-ferrous metals; not primarily intended for heavy hardwood timber cutting.
• Ensure your circular saw is rated for 170mm blades and that the bore size and maximum RPM meet manufacturer’s guidance before use.
• To extend blade life and maintain finish quality: clean off aluminium swarf and oxide build-up after each session, avoid overheating, and store the blade safely when not in use.

Specifications

Safety

• Wear eye, ear and dust/metal-chip protection when cutting aluminium to protect against flying swarf, oxide particles and loud noise.
• Disconnect the saw from the power source before fitting or removing the blade.
• Ensure the blade is mounted correctly with the rotation arrow matching the saw’s direction and that all flanges and guards are secure.
• For metal-cutting use, ensure proper extraction or airflow; aluminium swarf can build up, burn or stick and create hazards if not cleared.
• Allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the cut and wait until it has completely stopped before handling the saw or material.
