TCT blades offer several advantages over standard high-speed steel (HSS) blades:
Longer Lifespan: The tungsten carbide tips are extremely hard and wear-resistant, lasting much longer than plain steel blades.
Sharper and Cleaner Cuts: The precision-ground carbide teeth provide smoother, more accurate cuts with minimal splintering.
Better Heat Resistance: Tungsten carbide can withstand high temperatures, reducing blade warping and extending tool life.
Versatility: TCT blades can cut a variety of materials, including hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, plastic, and even certain metals.
Reduced Maintenance: The durability of the carbide tips means less frequent sharpening and replacement.
Selecting the right TCT blade depends on several factors, including the type of material being cut, the saw type, and the desired finish.
Tooth Count: Blades with fewer teeth (e.g., 24T) are ideal for fast, rough cuts in wood, while blades with more teeth (e.g., 80T) produce finer, smoother finishes.
Tooth Shape: Alternate top bevel (ATB) teeth are best for woodworking, triple chip grind (TCG) teeth work well for cutting harder materials like metal and laminate, and flat-top teeth excel at ripping through lumber.
Blade Diameter: The blade size should match the specifications of your saw to ensure proper fit and performance.
Kerf Thickness: Thin kerf blades require less power to cut, making them ideal for portable saws, while full-kerf blades provide greater stability for powerful table and mitre saws.
Material Coating: Some TCT blades come with anti-friction coatings to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life.
Yes, TCT blades are ideal for cutting hardwood, as they provide clean, precise cuts and maintain sharpness longer than regular steel blades.
Blades with more teeth produce smoother cuts, while blades with fewer teeth cut faster but leave rougher edges.
Yes, TCT blades can be sharpened using a diamond wheel sharpener or by taking them to a professional sharpening service.
This can happen if the blade is dull, dirty, or cutting at the wrong speed—cleaning or sharpening the blade usually fixes the issue.
Yes, TCT blades are commonly used on mitre saws for making precise crosscuts in wood, plastic, and even some metals.
