Makita Saw Blades
Makita Saw Blades by Saw Type and Material
Makita saw blades are carbide-tipped and sized for the saws Makita builds. Most popular are 6-1/2 inch plunge saw blades from 28 to 60 teeth, including ATB and TCG grinds and a 56T Max Efficiency blade. Circular saw blades come in 6-1/2, 7-1/4, 9-1/4, and 10-1/4 inch framing and fine crosscut versions. Miter saw blades run 10 and 12 inch up to 100 teeth. There are also metal cutting blades in 5-3/8, 5-7/8, and 12 inch, an X-LOCK diamond blade for masonry, and a Starlock multi-tool blade set.
What to Look For
- Diameter and arbor. Match the blade size to your saw. Never run a blade larger than the guard allows.
- Tooth count. 24T framing blades cut fast. 40T to 100T blades leave cleaner edges for finish work.
- Max Efficiency line. Max Efficiency blades come in plunge, circular, and miter saw sizes, from 24T framing to 100T finish.
- Material. Use ferrous metal blades for steel and diamond blades for masonry.

Makita Saw Blades FAQ
Which blade should I use in my Makita track saw?
Use a 6-1/2 inch plunge saw blade. A 48T blade is a good all-around choice, 56T or 60T ATB gives the cleanest cuts in plywood and veneer, 60T TCG suits laminates, and 28T rips solid lumber faster.
What is a framing blade versus a fine crosscut blade?
A framing blade has about 24 teeth for fast rough cuts in dimensional lumber. A fine crosscut blade has 40 or more teeth and leaves a smoother edge for trim and sheet goods, at a slower feed rate.
