DeWalt Woodcutting Circular Saw Blade

DeWalt Woodcutting Circular Saw Blade Tracks Higher for Smooth Cuts Later in Life

DeWalt takes circular saw blades back to the drawing board with a new design that makes your cuts straighter and more accurate over the life of the blade. With several other features to make your work life more comfortable and efficient, the new DeWalt Woodcutting Circular Saw Blade might become your go-to for the jobsite.

10-Second Summary

New tooth design: ATB+R ToughTrack teeth provide straight, accurate cuts over the life of the blade

High-density carbide teeth

Individual blades run $9.99 – 19.99 depending on size and tooth count

What’s the Big Deal?

The main talking point about the DeWalt Woodcutting Circular Saw Blade revolves around the ToughTrack technology the design team incorporates into the design. This new tooth design uses an ATB+R tooth grind.

The “R” here stands for “Raker”. Every third tooth is flat on top, which allows for better tracking and straighter cuts by straightening the blade between the left and right ground teeth. The DeWalt’s raker tooth is actually higher than other manufacturer’s ATB+R blades. This helps in clearing debris from the cutting path, allowing for better tracking.

Additional Features

High-density tungsten carbide teeth – longer life
Thin kerf – more efficient cutting in cordless saws
Reinforced shoulder – bumps up the impact resistance if you hit a nail
ToughCoat anti-stick coating – reduces friction during the cut

The end result is a blade that DeWalt claims cuts more smoothly and as effectively toward the end of its life as it did out of the package.
