The Diablo 16-5/16" x 60-Teeth Fine Finish Saw Blade for Wood is a large-diameter beam saw blade engineered for demanding timber framing applications. Built by Diablo and manufactured in Italy, this 60-tooth ATB blade is designed to handle heavy-duty cutting tasks involving LVL, glulam beams, and parallam posts while delivering a smooth, fine finish surface that requires little to no sanding. Sized specifically for the Makita beam saw, it cuts up to 6 1/4 in. at 9 deg. and 4 3/16 in. at 45 deg., making it a purpose-built solution for structural wood framing work in hardwoods, softwoods, pressure treated lumber, and laminated beams.

Key Features

• TiCo Hi-Density carbide teeth specifically formulated for each cutting application - delivers increased cutting performance and longer-lasting edge retention across demanding wood framing tasks
• Perma-SHIELD Non-stick Coating protects from heat, gumming, and corrosion - keeps the blade running cooler and cleaner through extended cuts in resinous or pressure treated lumber
• Super thin laser cut kerf at.114 in. - removes less material per pass for faster, cleaner cuts with reduced waste and less strain on the saw motor
• Tri-metal shock resistant brazing secures carbide tips against extreme impact - maximizes durability when cutting through dense hardwoods, laminated beams, and structural framing members
• Hardened steel body at.079 in. plate thickness - provides a longer blade life and maintains a sharper cutting edge through heavy repeated use
• 60 ATB tooth configuration with a 22 deg. hook angle - produces fine finish cuts in wood framing applications, leaving surfaces smooth enough to minimize secondary sanding
• Rated to 4000 RPM maximum - compatible with both corded circular saws and cordless circular saws for versatile jobsite use

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for large-format beam sawing - the 16-5/16 in. diameter and 1 in. arbor fit the Makita beam saw directly, removing the guesswork from compatibility for timber framing crews
• Cuts through the widest range of structural materials in one blade - from 2X dimensional lumber and softwoods to pressure treated posts, hardwoods, and laminated LVL beams, reducing blade changes on the job
• Fine finish quality at beam-cutting scale - the 60-tooth ATB geometry leaves a smooth surface that requires little to no sanding, saving time on finish-sensitive framing details like exposed glulam or timber joinery
• Built to resist jobsite wear - the combination of Perma-SHIELD coating, Tri-metal brazing, and a hardened steel body protects the blade from heat buildup, corrosion, and impact damage during sustained heavy cutting

Frequently Asked Questions

What saw is this blade designed to fit?

This 16-5/16 in. blade with a 1 in. arbor is designed for the Makita beam saw. It is compatible with corded circular saws and cordless circular saws that accept this diameter and arbor size.

What cutting depths does this blade achieve?

The D1660X cuts up to 6 1/4 in. at 9 deg. and up to 4 3/16 in. at 45 deg., making it well suited for cutting through large structural members including posts, beams, and heavy timber framing stock.

What types of wood and materials can this blade cut?

This blade is rated for 2X lumber, laminated beams, pressure treated lumber, hardwoods, and softwoods - covering the full range of materials commonly encountered in structural timber framing and heavy wood construction.

What is the tooth geometry and why does it matter for finish quality?

The blade uses a 60-tooth ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) configuration with a 22 deg. hook angle. This geometry is optimized to produce a fine finish surface in wood, leaving cuts that require little to no sanding - an important advantage when working with exposed structural or finish-grade timber framing members.
