Circular Saw Blades for Steel and Solid Metal

50 products · Saw Blades

These circular blades are designed for cutting steel, rebar, profiles and non-ferrous metals with metal-cutting circular saws and cut-off saws. They are used in metalwork, in the workshop and on site for clean, fast cuts on solid and hollow sections.

Types available in the collection

  • Blades for steel: tooth pattern suited to steel pipes, profiles and sheet.
  • Blades for rebar: for reinforcing bars on site.
  • Discs for aluminium and plastic materials: with carbide tips.

The brands included are Fervi, DeWalt and Milwaukee.

How to choose

Check the blade diameter, bore and thickness against the machine, then choose the blade dedicated to the material: a blade for steel must not be used on aluminium and vice versa. The number of teeth must suit the thickness of the workpiece.

Frequently asked questions: Circular Saw Blades for Steel and Solid Metal
Which circular saw blade should I choose for profiles, tubes and solid sections?

Blades for profiles have teeth designed for hollow sections such as tubes and profiles, while those for solid stock are for bars and solid sections. The choice depends on the shape of the workpiece, not only on the material. For thin tubes and stainless steel, use a blade with more teeth, to prevent the edge deforming. Check the code marked on the blade.

How many teeth should a metal circular saw blade have?

The number of teeth, indicated by the letter T after the diameter, affects the cut. Blades with more teeth, such as the Makita 100T for metal and stainless steel, give a finer cut on thin sections. Blades with fewer teeth, such as the 32T for ferrous metals, cut faster on thicker sections. Choose the number of teeth according to the thickness of the workpiece.

Which blade diameter and bore suit my chop saw?

The blade diameter and bore must match the chop saw, and the maximum speed marked on the blade must be equal to or higher than that of the machine. The catalogue includes blades of 150, 185 and 305 mm, each for different machines. The bore, for example 20 or 30 mm, is shown in the product name. Always check the data sheet.

What are rebar cutting blades?

Rebar cutting blades are used to cut reinforcing bars on site, such as the rebar used in concrete. For reinforcing steel the blade must be specific, with teeth suited to structural steel. A wood or aluminium disc on rebar wears out quickly and can become dangerous.

Can aluminium and steel blades be swapped?

No. Aluminium blades, such as the Makita Efficut for aluminium, have teeth with a geometry designed for soft materials that tend to stick. If used on steel they overheat and lose their edge more quickly. Metal blades are also unsuitable for wood or plastic. Always read the marking on the blade before fitting it.

How do I use a metal circular saw blade safely?

Always use the fixed guard of the chop saw and clamp the workpiece in the vice before cutting. Wait for the blade to reach full speed before touching the workpiece, and do not stop the blade by pushing sideways. Watch for sparks and hot chips. Wear glasses, suitable gloves and hearing protection.

Who uses circular saw blades for metal, and for what work?

Metal fabricators, machine shops, site carpenters and maintenance technicians use metal blades on chop saws for clean, fast cuts on profiles, tubes and bars. Rebar blades are used on site to cut concrete reinforcement. Aluminium blades are chosen by those who work aluminium profiles and fabrications.
