Which type of blade is recommended for a circular saw?

The recommended blade for use with a circular saw is the carbide-tipped blade. Carbide-tipped blades are designed specifically for cutting a variety of materials, including wood, composites, and even some metals, providing excellent durability and performance. The carbide tips maintain their sharpness for a longer period compared to other blade types, allowing for smooth and efficient cuts. They are also less likely to dull quickly, which enhances productivity during cutting tasks.

Diamond segmented blades, while highly effective for cutting through hard materials like concrete or brick, are not typically used with circular saws designed for woodworking or general-purpose cutting. High-speed steel blades, though used in some applications, tend to wear down quickly and are not as effective for heavy-duty cutting compared to carbide-tipped blades. Tungsten carbide blades, while they do relate to the material composition, are more accurately described as carbide-tipped blades when considering their application in circular saws. Thus, the carbide-tipped blade remains the optimal choice for ensuring lasting performance and quality cuts in a circular saw.
