Tork Craft Circular Saw Blade 165 mm × 1.6 mm × 20 mm × 40T Wood Thin Kerf
At a Glance: 165 mm diameter, 1.6 mm thin-kerf wood blade with 40 carbide-tipped teeth and 20 mm bore
The Tork Craft TCTK16540 saw blade is a versatile, thin-kerf circular blade built for clean, efficient cutting of wood. With a 165 mm diameter, 20 mm bore, and 40-tooth configuration, this blade is engineered to deliver smooth cross-cuts, rip cuts or trimming work in softwood, hardwood, plywood, MDF and other wood-based materials. Its thin kerf design reduces material waste and reduces load on the saw — ideal for handheld saws, compact saws or plunge saws, especially when working on finish-sensitive wood projects or when maximising efficiency and battery life in cordless tools.
The carbide-tipped teeth ensure a durable, long-lasting cutting edge and sharp, accurate cuts. The thin kerf reduces tear-out and material loss, while the 40-tooth pattern balances speed and finish quality — making it a reliable all-rounder for general wood cutting, cabinetry, carpentry and DIY projects. The universal 20 mm bore fits many standard circular and plunge saws.
Extra Information
- Use for wood, plywood, MDF, chipboard and other wood-based panel materials; avoid using on metals, masonry or hardened plastics.
- Best for circular saws or plunge saws compatible with 165 mm blades and 20 mm bore; check your tool specifications before mounting.
- For cleanest cuts, ensure blade rotation direction is correct and feed workpiece steadily — do not force the blade through the material too fast.
- Thin-kerf blades can deflect if used with excessive pressure — keep blade steady and use proper alignment for straight cuts.
Pro Tip
- Let the saw do the work: apply light, even pressure and maintain a consistent feed rate — this maximises cut quality and prolongs blade life.
- Use a blade-cleaning solution to remove resin and pitch build-up every few cuts — this keeps the carbide teeth sharp longer and ensures clean cuts every time.
Benefits
- Cleaner, precise cuts: 40T and thin-kerf design help minimise tear-out and splintering for smoother edges — ideal for finish work and cabinetry.
- Efficient on battery-powered saws: thin kerf reduces power draw and allows easier cutting with less strain, extending battery runtime on cordless saws.
- Less material waste: narrow cut width means less wood lost to sawdust — especially helpful on expensive or limited material.
- Versatile general-purpose blade: suitable for cross-cutting, rip-cutting or trimming a wide variety of wood types and panel materials.
- Good value for money: durable carbide-tipped teeth and balanced tooth count make this a solid ‘all-rounder’ blade for workshops, DIYers and carpenters.
Extra Information
- Use for wood, plywood, MDF, chipboard and other wood-based panel materials; avoid using on metals, masonry or hardened plastics.
- Best for circular saws or plunge saws compatible with 165 mm blades and 20 mm bore; check your tool specifications before mounting.
- For cleanest cuts, ensure blade rotation direction is correct and feed workpiece steadily — do not force the blade through the material too fast.
- Thin-kerf blades can deflect if used with excessive pressure — keep blade steady and use proper alignment for straight cuts.
Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection, and use appropriate gloves when handling or mounting the blade.
- Ensure the saw guard is correctly fitted and never disable safety mechanisms before use.
- Check that the blade is firmly mounted with correct arbor/spacer rings and rotate in the correct direction before starting the saw.
- Avoid forcing the blade — let it cut at its own pace to prevent kickback, binding or unnecessary wear.
- Use appropriate blades for material type — do not use this wood-blade on metals, masonry or other non-wood materials.
