Product Specification

5-3/8" 24-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR GENERAL PURPOSE CUTTING & TRIMMING

The Benchmark Abrasives 5-3/8" 24 tooth TCT saw blade is designed for general-purpose cutting and trimming across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and common construction lumber. Its 24-tooth configuration and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) tooth geometry provide a useful balance of cutting speed and clean edge quality, making it a versatile choice for everyday woodworking and jobsite use.

Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide durable, dependable performance, while the thin 0.071" kerf helps reduce cutting resistance and unnecessary material removal. A 20 mm arbor with included 5/8" and 10 mm bushings expands fitment options for compatible compact circular saws.

  • 0.071" thin kerf helps reduce cutting resistance and unnecessary material removal.
  • 20 mm arbor with 5/8" and 10 mm bushings expands fitment options for compatible compact circular saws.
  • Compact 5-3/8" diameter is well suited for portable cutting, trimming and general jobsite use.
  • 11,000 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

  • Softwood
  • Hardwood
  • Plywood
  • Construction lumber
  • Wood framing
  • Decking
  • General-purpose wood cutting
  • Trimming

The 24-tooth configuration makes this blade a versatile option for repair, installation, framing, trimming and general woodworking where both efficient cutting and a cleaner finished edge are important.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 5-3/8" circular saws with the proper arbor or installed bushing and an operating speed within the blade's maximum rating.

Common compatible saws include:

  • Milwaukee® M12 FUEL 2521-20 5-3/8" Circular Saw when the included 10 mm bushing is installed correctly.

Common compatible saw brands include:

  • DeWalt®
  • Bosch®
  • Black+Decker®
  • SKIL®
  • Panasonic®

Always confirm compatibility with your exact saw before installation. Blade diameter, arbor or bushing 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 11,000 RPM.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

With 24 teeth on a 5-3/8" blade, this blade sits in the balanced general-purpose range, offering cleaner edge quality than the 18T version while still maintaining efficient cutting speed.

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 11,000 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 and arbor or bushing configuration.
  • Never install the blade on a machine that exceeds the blade's maximum RPM.
  • Keep all factory guards installed and properly functioning.
  • Inspect the blade before every use. Do not use a cracked, warped or damaged blade.
  • Secure the workpiece and maintain control of the saw throughout the cut.
  • Wear appropriate eye, hearing, and respiratory protection for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions

This blade is designed for wood applications, including softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, construction lumber, framing and decking. It is intended for general-purpose cutting and trimming.
Choose the 18-tooth blade when faster cutting and chip clearance are the priority. Choose the 24-tooth blade when you want a more balanced combination of cutting speed and smoother edge quality.
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 wood cutting.
This is a general-purpose blade, so it can handle both common rip cuts and crosscuts rather than being optimized exclusively for one direction. For applications where maximum ripping speed or the finest possible crosscut finish is the priority, choose a more specialized tooth count.
Yes. This blade is suitable for plywood in addition to hardwoods and softwoods. For highly finish-sensitive plywood cuts, a higher-tooth-count blade may provide an even smoother result.
The blade has a 20 mm arbor and includes 5/8" and 10 mm bushings to expand compatibility with saws using those arbor sizes. Use only the bushing required for your specific saw and make sure it is installed correctly.
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 Milwaukee M12 FUEL 2521-20 5-3/8-inch circular saw when the included 10 mm bushing is installed correctly. Common compatible saw brands also include DeWalt, Bosch, Black+Decker, SKIL and Panasonic models with the required blade and arbor configuration. 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 11,000 RPM.
The blade has a maximum operating speed of 11,000 RPM. Never use it on a saw whose operating speed exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the blade.
Pitch and resin buildup can reduce cutting performance even when the carbide teeth are still sharp, so clean the blade periodically. Slower cutting, increased effort or declining edge quality can indicate dull teeth. A structurally sound blade may be professionally sharpened; replace any blade that is cracked, warped or has damaged or missing carbide teeth.
