Titman Edge TCT Fine Finish Circular Saw Blade 160mm diameter, 20mm bore, 48 tooth with non-stick coating. For plunge saws.

Resin build up and rust on saw blades, over time, contribute to inaccurate, slow cuts. The Titman Edge saw blades benefit from an APSC non-stick coating which helps prevent a build-up of resin and protects against rusting.

During manufacturing, an electrostatic generator ensures this acrylic and polymer coating is absorbed onto the surface of the blade.

Coupled with the tungsten carbide tipped teeth, each blade will run sharp and true for longer.

In simple terms, rather than cutting with a bare steel blade, which is susceptible to rusting and holding onto wood resin, the Titman Edge blade coating literally has a layer of protection against both.

And there's no need to use expensive PTFE sprays to protect your saw blades.

Understanding Saw Blade Specification:

TCP: Triple Chip teeth combine a balanced cutting force, low tooth drag and free chip flow. This helps to eliminate chipping in brittle material such as chipboard, and laminates. This tooth design is also used on blades for cutting non-ferrous material, like aluminium or plastics
ATB: Alternative Top Bevel. The teeth have cutting edges on each alternative tooth. The teeth are bevelled at oppositive angles. Choose ATB blades for clean cuts with reduced break-outs and/or chipping at the edges
ATB & Raker: found on blades with higher degrees of rake/hook. For cutting melamine and plastic laminate without the use of a scoring blade
Kerf: The term "kerf" is used to describe the thickness of the cut the saw blade makes. It is literally the amount of material expended when making the cut
Rake/Hook: the angle of the tip of the saw blade's teeth. Higher positive angles feed the blade faster into the material and are ideal for quick rip cuts in softer wood. Lower positive angles feed the blade more slowly and are better for fine cuts or cutting harder wood. Negative hook angles, usually -5 º, are used to prevent self-feeding of materials and give the operator maximum control over the feed of cut

APSC Coated Saw Blades - the Benefits

reduced friction between the blade and the material to being cut
reduced heat build-up in the blade
blade cuts quieter
increased blade lifespan
blade stays sharp for longer
protection against the blade rusting
