Circular Saw Blades

[Groupie]

Just a quickie!About to buy a new blade, How many teeth is best on a Hand held circular saw when for general use. Blade diameter 185mm

You'll get all kinds of opinion on this Groupie :o)
12 for sawn timber, boards etc, sitework
24 would do a decent fine cut as well
40 for really fine

'General use' just doesn't cut it (no pun intended) nowadays.

But in the range of 18 - 30 teeth for 'general use' would be my choice, which falls nicely in with the post above.

More TPI --- smoother but slower cut... less TPI, more aggresive but rougher cut... I'd agree with Naz and TB, except up it to 25 to 34 TPI...
