Trend Wood Circular Saw Blades, 160mm Diameter, 20mm Bore, 48 Teeth, 2.2mm Kerf, +15° Hook, TCT, Fine Finish, 3 Pack, CSB/160/3PK

Really nice blades and good quality to hopefully last a while.

I'd not realised how poor the cutting performance of my Festool blade had become. These blades were less than the half the price of a replacement Festool and I have to say, they cut just as well out of the packet. Will be good to see how they hold up over some extended use but initial impressions are very positive.

Trend Wood Circular Saw Blades are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for quality at an affordable price. With a 160mm diameter, 20mm bore, and 48 TCT teeth, these blades offer excellent cutting performance. The sharpness ensures clean cuts in all materials, and the 2.2mm kerf is perfect for precision work clearing waste material. Installation is straightforward, and the blades are durable, lasting well under regular use. Given their performance and cost, there’s no need to pay more form alternative brands with these exceptional saw blades. Trend does it again.

The hub washer (under the blade nut) needs to be ground 0.5mm thinner (hence not 5 stars) to take this thinner blade otherwise it just slips when you try and cut. Easy enough to do on a cheap replaceable part of the saw and the amount you remove is not that critical) so I risked it, and was glad I did as these blades are better than the Makita ones at a fraction of the cost. The cutting force is about half that of the original blade (probably because you are removing less wood), and there's less tendancy to burn the wood. It even cut two 8mm mild steel dowels that were hiding in an old bit of furniture I was refurbishing with no issues! Will definitely be buying again.

Perfect and a good price

Good price, perfect cutting, long lasting,

Great value blade with decent performance to match. Use these in my Makita SP6000J track saw as a direct replacement for the Makblade, which costs around 3 or 4 times more. OK, these don't last as long but certainly not 3 or 4 times less time. The one in my machine currently has performed over 100 cuts in 19mm MDF (which is notorious for dulling blades) and it's still going strong. Will replace it at the weekend for some 18mm plywood cuts. The fact these can be bought as a triple pack is excellent value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone that's been blindly buying the Makblades.

Excellent blades
