Bosch 2 608 642 387 circular saw blade 16.5 cm 1 pc(s)

The Bosch 2 608 642 387 circular saw blade has a diameter of 16.5 cm and a bore size of 2 cm. Designed for a range of cutting tasks, this blade is compatible with many circular saws and bench saws that accept a 16.5 cm diameter blade. It is suitable for cutting aluminium, epoxy, non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood, offering a combination of cutting precision and service life appropriate for both professional workshops and DIY projects.

Advantages

This circular saw blade provides accurate, clean cuts across different materials due to its tooth geometry and balanced construction. The blade’s durable cutting edge maintains sharpness through repetitive use, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Its 2 cm bore ensures stable mounting and minimal runout when installed on compatible arbors. The blade is engineered to deliver consistent performance on metals and softer materials as well as on wood and composite boards.

Suitable for

• Cutting aluminium sheets and profiles
• Working with epoxy and composite panels
• Cutting non-ferrous metals such as brass and copper
• Trimming and crosscutting plastics and laminates
• Ripping and crosscutting wood for carpentry and finishing

Key specifications

• Diameter: 16.5 cm
• Bore (arbor) size: 2 cm
• Material compatibility: aluminium, epoxy, non-ferrous metals, plastic, wood
• Typical use: circular saws and bench saws accepting 16.5 cm blades
• Construction: precision-balanced metal blade with hardened cutting edge

How to use

Ensure the saw is unplugged or the battery removed before installing the blade. Mount the blade on the saw arbor so the teeth point in the rotation direction indicated on the tool. Tighten the arbor flange securely and check for minimal wobble by spinning the blade by hand. Select the appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material: slower feed and steady control for metals and epoxy, moderate feed for plastics and laminates, and normal cutting speed for wood. Use suitable clamps and guides to secure the workpiece and maintain a straight cut path.

Recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, wear eye and hearing protection, and use gloves when handling the blade. Match blade speed and feed to the material to avoid overheating; allow the blade to cool between extended cuts in metal or epoxy. Inspect the blade before each use for damage or excessive wear and replace it when cutting quality degrades. Use appropriate coolant or cutting lubricant when sawing non-ferrous metals to extend blade life.
