The Diablo D1632X 16-5/16 in. x 32-Tooth General Purpose Saw Blade for Wood is a large diameter circular saw blade for beam saws. This is a circular saw blade designed for general purpose wood cutting in timber framing and heavy stock. Model number: D1632X.

This blade is sized for big cuts where a typical 7-1/4 inch blade will not reach. The 16-5/16 inch diameter and 1 inch arbor are aimed at large capacity beam saws used on beams, laminated veneer lumber, glued timber (glulams), and Paralams.

The 32-tooth alternate top bevel tooth pattern is the sweet spot for jobsite versatility. It is built to move through framing lumber without beating you up on feed speed, but it still leaves a cleaner edge than a low tooth rip blade when you are trimming beams or cutting sheet goods.

Diablo uses TiCo Hi-Density carbide for the cutting tips, matched to the application. That matters because carbide quality and tip design are what decide how long the blade stays sharp and how well it handles knots, glue lines, and mixed materials you run into with engineered lumber.

On the durability side, Perma-SHIELD non-stick coating helps reduce heat and pitch buildup, plus it adds corrosion resistance for blades that live in a trailer. Tri-metal shock resistant brazing is there to keep tips on the blade when you hit the kind of surprises that show up in real framing work.

If you are running a beam saw for timber framing, heavy dimensional lumber, or engineered beams and you want one blade that can stay on the saw for most cuts, this is the one. Keep it under the blade's 4,000 RPM max rating and it will do the work without drama.
