CMT Industrial Panel Sizing Saw Blade - 380mm Diameter, 72-Tooth TCG is engineered for high-production panel sizing operations where clean, chip-free results are essential. Designed for industrial panel sizing machines, this 380mm circular saw blade carries a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and a 72-tooth configuration that makes it well-suited for sizing single sheets and cutting multiple panels in demanding shop environments. With a 60mm bore and a 2/14/100 pin hole pattern, it is built to integrate with panel sizing machine arbor setups that require precise, repeatable dimensioning of sheet goods.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - the alternating flat and chamfered tooth profile is specifically designed for sizing laminated panels and sheet goods, producing clean edges that reduce secondary finishing work.
• 72 Teeth for Panel Sizing - the high tooth count spreads cutting load across more contact points, which helps produce smooth, consistent cuts when processing single sheets and multiple stacked panels on industrial sizing machines.
• 380mm Diameter with 60mm Bore - this metric sizing matches common industrial panel saw arbor standards, ensuring the blade mounts securely and runs true in compatible machines.
• 2/14/100 Pin Hole Pattern - the specific pin hole configuration matches industrial panel sizing machine requirements, providing positive blade location and reducing the risk of shifting during high-feed-rate cuts.
• 15 deg. Hook Angle - this cutting angle is optimized for controlled, forward-feeding cuts on panel sizing equipment, helping to manage material feed and reduce tear-out on laminated surfaces.
• 4.4mm Kerf / 3.2mm Plate Thickness - the kerf-to-plate ratio provides lateral stability during extended production runs, reducing vibration and helping maintain cut accuracy across large panel volumes.
• Hardmetal (HW) Tipped Cutting Edges - carbide-tipped teeth retain their edge longer under the continuous demands of industrial panel sizing, supporting extended intervals between resharpenings.
• 5,000 RPM Maximum Speed - the blade is rated for the high spindle speeds typical of dedicated panel sizing machines, giving operators confidence to run at machine-rated speeds without exceeding blade limits.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for industrial panel sizing machines - the combination of a 380mm diameter, 60mm bore, and 2/14/100 pin hole pattern means this blade is engineered to fit and function correctly on panel sizing equipment, not adapted from a general-purpose blade.
• TCG geometry addresses the core challenge of laminate processing - when sizing double-sided laminates, chipboard, or MDF, chip-out on the panel face is the primary quality concern. The Triple Chip Grind tooth form directly targets that problem with its chamfered tooth sequence.
• High tooth count supports both single sheets and multiple panel stacks - at 72 teeth, this blade handles varied production tasks from individual sheet sizing to batch panel processing without requiring a blade change between operations.
• Carbide (HW) tips extend productive blade life in continuous-use environments - industrial panel sizing involves high cycle counts per shift. Hardmetal tipped teeth are chosen for their durability under this kind of sustained cutting demand, reducing downtime for blade changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this saw blade compatible with?

This blade is designed for industrial panel sizing machines. The 380mm diameter, 60mm bore, and 2/14/100 pin hole pattern are the key mounting specifications to match against your machine's arbor and pin configuration before installation.

What does TCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry mean for panel cutting?

Triple Chip Grind geometry uses an alternating sequence of flat-top and chamfered teeth. This arrangement is particularly effective when sizing laminated sheet goods, as it helps produce clean, chip-free edges on both faces of the panel - reducing the need for secondary edge treatment.

What is the maximum spindle speed for this blade?

This blade is rated for a maximum of 5,000 RPM. Always confirm that your panel sizing machine's spindle speed does not exceed this rating before mounting the blade.

What does the 2/14/100 pin hole designation mean?

The 2/14/100 designation describes the pin hole configuration on the blade - specifically the number of pins, pin diameter, and pin circle diameter. This pattern is used to positively locate the blade on the machine arbor, preventing rotation and ensuring the blade is correctly seated during operation. Verify this matches your machine's pin configuration before use.
