10" 40-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR GENERAL PURPOSE CUTTING

The Benchmark Abrasives 10" 40 tooth TCT saw blade is designed for versatile, everyday cutting across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and construction lumber. Its 40-tooth configuration provides a strong balance of cutting speed and cleaner edge quality, making it a dependable all-around choice for both rip cuts and crosscuts.

Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry help deliver accurate, consistent cutting across common wood materials. The 0.126" kerf provides a stable cutting path, while the standard 5/8" arbor makes this blade a practical fit for compatible 10" table and miter saws.

Product Features

  • 40-tooth configuration provides a balanced combination of cutting speed and cleaner edge quality.
  • ATB tooth geometry helps slice cleanly across wood fibers for versatile ripping and crosscutting.
  • Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a durable cutting edge for repeated use.
  • 0.126" kerf provides a stable cutting path through hardwoods, softwoods and plywood.
  • 5/8" arbor fits compatible 10" table and miter saws.
  • 6,700 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

  • Softwood
  • Hardwood
  • Plywood
  • Construction lumber
  • General-purpose ripping
  • General-purpose crosscutting
  • Wood framing
  • Decking

The 40-tooth configuration makes this blade a strong everyday choice for woodworkers and contractors who want one blade capable of handling both rip cuts and crosscuts without moving to either a dedicated ripping or fine-finishing blade.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 10" table and miter saws using a 5/8" arbor and operating within the blade's maximum speed rating.

Common compatible saws include:

  • DeWalt® DWE7491RS 10" Table Saw
  • Bosch® GTS15-10 10" Table Saw
  • DeWalt® DWS713 10" Miter Saw
  • Makita® LS1040 10" Miter Saw

Always confirm compatibility with your exact saw before installation. Blade diameter, arbor fit, guard and flange clearance, blade rotation, kerf and any applicable riving-knife requirements must match, and the saw must operate at no more than 6,700 RPM.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

With 40 teeth on a 10" blade, this blade sits squarely in the general-purpose range, providing more versatility and cleaner edge quality than the 24T ripping blade while maintaining greater cutting efficiency than higher-tooth-count finishing blades.

Tips for Better Blade Performance

  • Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
  • Use a steady feed rate and allow the carbide teeth to do the cutting.
  • Avoid forcing the blade through the material.
  • Keep sawdust and chips clear of the cutting path.
  • Inspect the blade before use for damaged, missing or excessively worn teeth.
  • Remove pitch and resin buildup periodically to maintain cutting performance.
  • Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines.
  • Never exceed the blade's 6,700 RPM maximum operating speed.

Safety

  • Use this blade for wood-cutting applications only.
  • Do not use this blade to cut metal.
  • Use only on saws designed to accept this blade diameter, arbor and kerf.
  • Confirm table-saw riving-knife compatibility before use.
  • Never install the blade on a machine that exceeds the blade's maximum RPM.
  • Keep all factory guards and safety devices properly installed.
  • Inspect the blade before every use. Do not use a cracked, warped or damaged blade.
  • Secure the workpiece and maintain control throughout the cut.
  • Wear appropriate eye, hearing, and respiratory protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

This blade is designed for wood applications, including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, construction lumber, framing and decking.
A 40-tooth blade provides a balance between cutting speed and finish quality. It is versatile enough for both rip cuts and crosscuts, making it a practical choice when you do not want to change blades between common woodworking tasks.
Choose the 24T for fast ripping and long cuts with the grain. Choose the 40T for balanced general-purpose ripping and crosscutting. Choose the 60T for smoother finishing and crosscuts, and the 80T when fine crosscut quality is the highest priority.
ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel. The teeth alternate their bevel direction from one tooth to the next, helping slice through wood fibers cleanly and making this geometry well suited for general-purpose cutting.
This is a general-purpose blade, so it is designed to handle both. For maximum ripping speed, choose the 24T blade. For smoother crosscuts and finish-sensitive work, choose a higher-tooth-count blade.
Yes. The 40-tooth configuration provides a cleaner plywood edge than a dedicated 24T ripping blade while still maintaining good cutting efficiency.
The blade has a 0.126" kerf, which is the approximate width of material removed during the cut. On a table saw, the blade kerf must be compatible with the saw's riving knife to allow the workpiece to pass safely without binding.
No. This blade is engineered for wood applications only. Use a Benchmark Abrasives TCT blade specifically designed for steel or aluminum when cutting metal.
Common compatible saws include the DeWalt DWE7491RS and Bosch GTS15-10 table saws, plus the DeWalt DWS713 and Makita LS1040 10-inch miter saws. Confirm compatibility with the exact saw model before installation, including blade diameter, arbor or bushing, guard and flange clearance, blade rotation, kerf and riving-knife requirements where applicable, and a saw speed no greater than 6,700 RPM.
The blade has a maximum operating speed of 6,700 RPM. Never use it on a saw whose operating speed exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the blade.
