DeWalt DT1960-QZ, Disc Circular Saw 305 * 30mm * 60T

The DeWalt DT1960-QZ is a circular saw blade designed for stationary saws used for cutting various wood and composite materials. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Application: Stationary Saws

  • Ideal for use with table saws, miter saws, or other stationary saws for controlled and precise cutting.

• Specifications:

  • Diameter: 305 mm (12 inches)
    • This larger diameter allows for deeper cuts in wood compared to saw blades designed for portable circular saws.
  • Arbor: 30 mm (common arbor sizes for portable saws are 16mm and 20mm, so this is a less standard size)
    • Ensure your stationary saw has a 30mm arbor for proper fit.
  • Number of Teeth (TPI): 60
    • This is a high tooth count, offering:
      • Slower Cutting Speed: Compared to blades with fewer teeth.
      • Very Fine Finish: Ideal for applications where an exceptionally smooth and clean cut is crucial.

• Features:

  • C2 Construction Grade Carbide: These teeth are designed to be impact resistant and maintain sharpness for extended use with various wood types.
  • Ultra-Sharp Carbide Edges: Contribute to achieving clean and precise cuts.
  • Anti-Stick Coating: Minimizes friction and gumming on the blade, allowing for smoother cuts and preventing the blade from binding in the wood.
  • Ribbed Heat Vents: Help dissipate heat generated during cutting, preventing blade warping and ensuring consistent performance.
  • Negative Hook Angle: The teeth are angled slightly backward, which provides a shearing action for cleaner cuts in wood materials with minimal chipping.

• Applications:

  • Fine finish woodworking tasks on stationary saws:
    • Ripping hardwoods and softwoods
    • Crosscutting for precise dimensions
    • Miter cuts
    • Cutting plywood, laminates, and veneers (with proper feed rate to avoid chipping)

• Benefits:

  • Exceptional Finish: High tooth count and negative hook angle ensure very smooth and clean cuts.
  • Durable: C2 carbide teeth provide long-lasting performance.
  • Reduced Friction: Anti-stick coating allows for smoother cuts.
  • Cooler Blade Operation: Ribbed heat vents help maintain performance.
  • Suitable for Various Wood Materials: Handles hardwoods, softwoods, and some composite materials.

Overall, the DeWalt DT1960-QZ is a top-tier circular saw blade for stationary saws, ideal for professional woodworkers or DIYers who prioritize achieving exceptionally smooth and precise cuts in various wood projects. The combination of high tooth count, C2 carbide, negative hook angle, and anti-stick coating makes it suitable for fine finish carpentry tasks.
