CMT Industrial Panel Sizing Saw Blade - 320 x 65mm, T72 TCG is engineered for high-throughput panel processing operations that demand precision and repeatability. Designed specifically for panel sizing machines, this 320mm diameter carbide-tipped blade handles the rigorous demands of sizing single sheets and multiple panels with a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth form that delivers clean, consistent cuts across demanding engineered wood and laminate materials. The 72-tooth configuration paired with a 16 deg. cutting angle makes this blade an authoritative choice for industrial facilities where cut quality and blade longevity are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• 320mm (approx. 12 9/16 in.) blade diameter - sized to match the requirements of industrial panel sizing machines, ensuring compatibility with standard panel sizing equipment setups.
• 72 Triple Chip Grind (TCG) teeth - the high tooth count combined with TCG geometry produces smooth, chip-free edges on laminates and composite panels, reducing post-processing cleanup.
• 16 deg. cutting angle - optimized for the feed rates and material types encountered in panel sizing operations, promoting efficient material removal while maintaining surface quality.
• 65mm bore diameter with 2/9/100 + 2/9/110 pin holes - matches the spindle and pin configurations common to panel sizing machines, enabling secure, vibration-free mounting without adapter modifications.
• 4.4mm kerf / 3.2mm plate thickness - the kerf-to-plate ratio provides blade stability during high-speed cuts while minimizing material waste across large panel runs.
• HW (tungsten carbide) tooth material - hard-wearing carbide construction resists dulling during extended production runs, extending intervals between sharpenings and reducing downtime.
• 6,000 RPM maximum speed - rated for the spindle speeds typical of industrial panel sizing machines, supporting safe, continuous production use.

Why This Product

• The TCG tooth form is specifically suited to sizing operations involving laminates and composite board materials - where conventional alternating top bevel grind teeth can chip or tear the surface veneer or facing, the triple chip geometry shears cleanly through both faces.
• With 72 teeth on a 320mm blade, this saw delivers a fine finish on each cut, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary edge treatment on sized panels - an important efficiency factor in high-volume production environments.
• The dual pin hole specification (2/9/100 + 2/9/110) means this blade fits a wider range of panel sizing machine spindle configurations, making it a versatile replacement or upgrade option across different machine platforms.
• Tungsten carbide (HW) tipping and a resharpening-compatible design mean the blade can be reconditioned rather than discarded, reducing the per-cut cost over the working life of the blade in industrial panel operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of grind does this blade use, and why does it matter for panel sizing?

This blade uses a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth profile. TCG geometry alternates between a flat-top tooth and a chamfered chip-breaker tooth, which is highly effective at cleanly cutting through hard laminates, melamine facings, and composite panel materials without chipping the surface. This makes it particularly well suited for sizing finished panels where edge quality is critical.

What machines is this blade designed to fit?

This blade is designed for panel sizing machines. It features a 65mm bore diameter and dual pin holes (2/9/100 + 2/9/110) to match the spindle and locating pin configurations typical of industrial panel sizing equipment.

What is the maximum operating speed for this blade?

The maximum rated speed is 6,000 RPM. Always verify that your machine's spindle speed does not exceed this rating before use to ensure safe operation.

Can this blade be resharpened after extended use?

The blade is constructed with tungsten carbide (HW) teeth and a TCG grind profile, both of which are compatible with professional resharpening services. Resharpening can restore cutting performance and extend the service life of the blade, making it a cost-effective option for industrial production environments.
