Choose the Right Circular Saw Blade
This collection covers blades for track saws, circular saws, and miter saws. Festool leads with fine cut, universal, and rip blades for the TS 55, TSC 55, HK 55, and TS 75, plus laminate, aluminum, and diamond blades and Kapex KS 120 miter saw blades. Milwaukee, Makita, and Diablo offer 6-1/2-inch track saw blades from 24 to 60 teeth. Makita also makes 7-1/4-inch framing and fine crosscut blades and a 12-inch ferrous metal blade, and CMT and Amana add fiber cement and non-ferrous blades for Festool saws.
What to Look For
- Size and arbor. Match the blade diameter and arbor to your saw. Track saw blades here come in 160 mm, 168 mm, 6-1/2-inch, and 210 mm sizes.
- Tooth count. Low tooth counts rip faster. High tooth counts leave cleaner crosscuts in plywood and veneer.
- Material. Use a laminate, aluminum, fiber cement, metal, or diamond blade for those materials instead of a wood blade.
- Saw fit. Many Festool blades list the saws they fit, such as the TS 55, TSC 55, HK 55, and TS 75.

Circular Saw Blades FAQ
How many teeth should my blade have?
Use 12 to 28 teeth for ripping and general framing cuts. Use 40 to 60 teeth or more for fine crosscuts, plywood, and finish work.
Can I use another brand's blade on my Festool track saw?
Yes, if the diameter and arbor match the saw. CMT and Amana blades in this collection name the Festool saws they fit, such as the TS 55 and TS 75, so check the product title before you order.
