Saw Blade for Festool KAPEX Circular Saws

 

Carbide Tipped - Saw blade for circular saws - Aluminium

The SAW BLADE TCT 260X2.4X30X68T ALUMINIUM PROFESSIONAL is a high-performance circular saw blade specifically designed for cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) blades are known for their durability and long-lasting sharpness, making them ideal for professional use in demanding applications.

Key Specifications:

  • Diameter: 260 mm - The overall diameter of the saw blade, suitable for medium to large cutting tasks.
  • Kerf (Blade Thickness): 2.4 mm - The thickness of the blade that determines the width of the cut. A 2.4 mm kerf strikes a balance between durability and precision cutting.
  • Bore Size: 30 mm - The center hole of the blade, which fits onto the arbor of the saw.
  • Number of Teeth: 68T - The blade has 68 teeth, which are specifically designed for smooth and precise cuts in aluminum. A higher tooth count provides finer cuts, which is particularly important when working with soft metals like aluminum.
  • TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped): The teeth of the blade are tipped with tungsten carbide, a material that enhances the blade's cutting edge, providing long-lasting sharpness, wear resistance, and the ability to cut through tough materials.

Applications:

  • Cutting Aluminum Profiles: Ideal for making precise cuts in aluminium extrusions, sheets, and profiles, commonly used in window frames, doors, and architectural components.
  • Non-Ferrous Metalwork: Also effective for cutting other soft metals such as copper, brass, and certain types of plastics or laminates.
  • Fabrication and Construction: Used in metal fabrication shops and construction sites where accurate, clean cuts in metal materials are essential.

Benefits:

  • Clean, Burr-Free Cuts: The high tooth count and specialized tooth design ensures smooth cuts with minimal burring, reducing the need for post-cut processing.
  • Enhanced Blade Longevity: Tungsten carbide tips provide superior edge retention, extending the lifespan of the blade compared to traditional steel blades.
  • Efficient Performance: The blade’s design ensures faster and more efficient cutting, improving productivity in professional environments.

The SAW BLADE TCT 260X2.4X30X68T ALUMINIUM PROFESSIONAL is a premium tool designed for professionals who need precise, durable, and efficient cutting of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. With its tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and optimized cutting geometry, it ensures smooth, clean cuts and extended blade life, making it a go-to choice for demanding metalworking applications.

Saw blade terminology

Arbor:
The shaft that turns the saw blade.

ATB:
Alternate Top Bevel. The tips on the saw blade bevels from left to right in sequence. Each tip has a sharp point that result in a clean, shear cut leaving a fine finish with minimal chipping. For use in plywood, veneer, particle board and wood.

Anti-kickback:
The gullet is shaped like a camel's hump, also called a limiter, to limit the amount of material that can safely be cut by each tooth.

Bore:
The center hole diameter of the saw blade.

Combination:
Circular saw blades that can be used both for crosscutting and ripping.

Crosscut:
A cut made across the grain of the wood. Cutting wood to length.

Dado:
A set of stacked blades designed to produce grooves.

Depth of cut:
The maximum depth of cut safely achievable determined by the power tool and saw blade diameter.

Diameter:
The outside of the saw blade measured directly accross from one tip to the other opposing tip.

Expansion slots:
Heat is generated with each cut due to friction. All saw blades have expansion slots in the body of the blade to have an outlet to release tension and warping.

Flange:
Falnges are used to clamp the saw blade to the arbor of the saw. Most of the time, the flanges cover more or less a third of the saw blade's diameter. It is important that the flanges are always clean to prevent warping and vibration.

Flat top grind (FTG):
Unlike the ATB, the tips are ground flat with a 0° top angle. The tips are more durable and longer lasting. Mostly used with rip saw blades.

Gullet:
The hollowed out shape between teeth that assists with chip clearance. Saw blades have different gullet designs. Mostly dependant on the material being cut.

Hollow ground:
The tips are concave shaped.

Hook angle/rake/pitch:
Forward angled tips tend to grab material, like a gouge carving into the material. Backward angled tips don't have grabbing at all, like a scissor cutting the material.

Kerf:
The width of cut.

Rip:
A cut made along the grain direction of the wood. Cutting wood to width.

Shim/bushing:
Depending on the bore of the saw blade and the arbor of the saw. A shim or bushing is available to adapt the saw blade to the arbor. No bushings or shims are available in Ø 22.23mm.

TCG:
Triple Chip Grind. A flat top tooth is followed by a trapezoidal tooth. Designed for saw blades to eliminate chipping in brittle materials like chipboard and laminated material.

Thin kerf:
The saw blades are slightly narrower than standard saw blades. A lot less power is needed to make cuts and it has a slightly lower material waste. Keep in mind to recalibrate the scale on table saws when fitting a thin kerf saw blade.

Features:

  • Optimized for Aluminum: This blade is engineered to handle aluminum and other non-ferrous metals like brass, copper, and plastics. The tooth geometry and design minimize friction and heat build-up, reducing the risk of material sticking to the blade or causing chipping.
  • Professional-Grade Cutting: Suitable for professional use in industries such as metalworking, construction, and fabrication. The blade delivers clean, precise, and smooth cuts, essential for achieving a high-quality finish.
  • Low Vibration and Noise: The blade is designed to minimize vibrations during cutting, which improves accuracy and reduces operator fatigue. This also helps in achieving a quieter cutting process, which is an added benefit in busy workshops or job sites.
  • Long-Lasting Durability: TCT blades are known for their extended lifespan, thanks to the wear resistance of tungsten carbide. This makes the blade cost-effective in the long run, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
