Circular Saw Blades Bosch Optiline Wood 2608640597 Thickness 1.6mm

The Bosch Optiline Wood Circular Saw Blade (MPN 2608640597, EAN 3165140193917) is a 1.6 mm thick blade designed for precise cutting of all types of wood and wood-based materials. The blade has a base made of dimensionally stable SK5 hardened steel (> 40 HRC) and precision-ground carbide teeth with ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry, enabling clean and accurate cuts. Expansion slots in the blade reduce vibration, dampen noise and limit heat build-up during use. The blade is compatible with hand-held circular saws, mitre saws, sliding mitre saws and table saws.

Advantages

The combination of an SK5 hardened steel base and precision-ground carbide teeth provides dimensional stability and long-lasting cutting performance. ATB tooth geometry offers versatility: blades with a higher tooth count produce cleaner finish cuts, while blades with fewer teeth deliver more aggressive and efficient material removal. Expansion slots lower vibration and noise and help control heat, preserving tooth life and cut quality.

Suitable for

• Crosscuts and rip cuts in softwood and hardwood
• Cutting plywood, MDF and other wood-based panels
• Use with hand-held circular saws, mitre saws, sliding mitre saws and table saws
• Tasks requiring either fine finish cuts (high tooth count) or faster stock removal (low tooth count)

How to use

Install the blade on a compatible saw following the tool manufacturer's instructions and ensure the blade is properly tightened and aligned. Select a blade variant with the appropriate tooth count for the desired result: higher tooth count for cleaner finish cuts, lower tooth count for faster, rougher cuts. Operate the saw at the recommended feed rate and speed for the workpiece material, and make steady, controlled passes for accurate results. Allow the blade to cool between prolonged cuts to reduce heat buildup.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection, gloves) and confirm saw guards and fences are correctly set. Regularly inspect and maintain the blade—clean resin build-up and replace the blade if teeth are chipped or worn to maintain cut quality and safety.
