16" 32-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR GENERAL PURPOSE CUTTING
The Benchmark Abrasives 16" 32 tooth TCT saw blade is built for efficient general-purpose cutting of hardwoods, softwoods and large wood stock. Its 32-tooth configuration provides strong chip clearance and productive cutting performance, making it a practical choice for beam-saw applications where cutting capacity and efficiency are priorities.
Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry provide durable, dependable cutting performance across common wood materials. The 0.118" kerf creates a stable cutting path through larger workpieces, while the 1" arbor is designed for compatible 16" beam saws.

Materials & Applications
Best For
Softwood
Hardwood
Plywood
Construction lumber
Large wood stock
Wood framing
Decking
General-purpose wood cutting
Beam-saw applications
The 32-tooth configuration makes this blade well suited for larger woodworking and construction applications where efficient cutting and good chip clearance are more important than achieving a fine-finish edge.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible beam saws that accept a 16" blade with a 1" arbor and operate within the blade's maximum speed rating.
Common compatible saw brands include:
Delta®
Makita®
Other beam-saw manufacturers using the required 16" blade and 1" arbor configuration
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 4,600 RPM.
Choosing the Right Tooth Count
With 32 teeth on a 16" blade, this blade favors efficient general-purpose cutting and chip clearance rather than fine-finish work.
Tips for Better Blade Performance
Secure large workpieces firmly before cutting.
Allow the saw to reach full operating speed before entering the material.
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 4,600 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.
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.
This blade is designed for wood applications, including hardwoods, softwoods, plywood, construction lumber, framing and decking. Its large diameter makes it particularly useful for larger wood stock and beam-saw applications.
The 32-tooth configuration provides larger spaces between teeth for efficient chip removal. On a large-diameter blade, this favors productive general-purpose cutting rather than the slower cutting associated with high-tooth-count finishing blades.
ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel. The teeth alternate their bevel direction from one tooth to the next, helping slice cleanly through wood fibers.
This is a general-purpose large-diameter blade rather than a dedicated fine-finishing blade. Its relatively low tooth count favors efficient cutting and chip clearance across larger wood stock.
Yes. The blade can be used for occasional plywood cutting as well as hardwoods, softwoods and construction lumber. For finish-sensitive plywood work, a higher-tooth-count blade will generally provide a smoother edge.
Kerf is the approximate width of material removed by the blade during the cut. This blade has a 0.118" kerf, which provides a stable cutting path for large-diameter wood-cutting applications.
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 saw brands include Delta® and Makita® beam saws designed for a 16-inch blade with a 1-inch arbor. Other beam saws using the same blade diameter, arbor configuration and compatible operating speed may also be suitable. Confirm compatibility with the exact saw before installation, including blade diameter, arbor fit, guard and flange clearance, blade rotation, kerf and any applicable riving-knife requirements, and a saw speed no greater than 4,600 RPM.
The blade has a maximum operating speed of 4,600 RPM. Never use it on a saw whose operating speed exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the blade.
