MAKITA B-17170 TCT Circular Saw Blade for Wood 235×25.4x30T

MAKITA B-17170 TCT Circular Saw Blade for Wood 235×25.4x30T 
Specifications The Makita B-17170 circular saw blade is designed for extreme speed and maximum cutting efficiency on large handheld circular saws (235 mm or 9.25 inches). This blade utilizes TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) teeth for heavy-duty durability and long service life.The 30T tooth count on a 235 mm blade is classified as coarse teeth/low tooth count, focusing on speed and efficiency in heavy-duty applications:Maximum Speed: Ideal for ripping thick wood and structural lumber, which requires the fastest and greatest chip clearance.Heavy-duty work: Capable of handling wood cuts requiring fast stock removal, resulting in a rough cut surfaceThis 30T saw blade is therefore a primary tool for heavy-duty construction work where structural lumber processing speed is the top priority.                                                                                                          Features
- 30T (Maximum Speed Ripping): Low tooth count, primarily focused on speed when ripping wood along the grain
- Maximum Chip Clearance: Wide gullets help efficiently clear large volumes of thick wood chips.
- TCT Durability: Tungsten carbide teeth durable for heavy-duty use.
- Reduced Friction: Low resistance allows the saw to operate at full power and reduces heat buildup.
Application
- Ripping: Cutting wood along the grain to reduce dimensions.
- Structural timber: Cutting beams, joists, and general dimensional lumber on job sites
- Construction Work: Tasks requiring rapid wood preparation where a fine finish is not a priority.
- Thick Wood Cutting: Easily cuts through very thick lumber.
