6-1/2" 40-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR FINISHING & FRAMING
The Benchmark Abrasives 6-1/2" 40 tooth TCT saw blade is designed for cleaner, more controlled cutting of hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and construction lumber. Its 40-tooth configuration provides smoother edge quality than lower-tooth-count blades, making it a strong choice for framing, trim work and finish-conscious woodworking.
Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry help produce accurate cuts with reduced tear-out across common wood materials. The 0.075" kerf provides a stable cutting path, while the 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout offers fitment flexibility across compatible 6-1/2" circular saws.

Product Features
40-tooth configuration favors smoother edge quality and more controlled cutting.
ATB tooth geometry helps slice cleanly across wood fibers and reduce tear-out.
Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a durable cutting edge for repeated use.
0.075" kerf provides a stable cutting path through common wood materials.
5/8" arbor with diamond knockout provides fitment flexibility for compatible circular saws.
9,500 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.
Materials & Applications
Best For
Softwood
Hardwood
Plywood
Construction lumber
Wood framing
Decking
Trim work
Finish-conscious cuts
The 40-tooth configuration makes this blade particularly useful when a cleaner finished edge is important without giving up the versatility needed for framing and everyday woodworking.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 6-1/2" circular saws that accept a 5/8" arbor or the appropriate diamond-arbor configuration and operate within the blade's maximum speed rating.
Common compatible saws include:
DeWalt® DCS565B / DCS565P1
Makita® XSH03Z
Milwaukee® M18 FUEL 2730-20
The named models above use the round 5/8" arbor.
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 9,500 RPM.
Choosing the Right Tooth Count
With 40 teeth on a 6-1/2" blade, this blade leans toward smoother, finish-conscious cutting while still providing the versatility needed for framing and general woodworking.
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 9,500 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 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.
This blade is designed for wood applications, including softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, construction lumber, framing and decking. It is particularly well suited for finishing and framing work where cleaner edge quality is important.
Yes. The 40-tooth configuration provides smoother edge quality than a lower-tooth-count framing blade while still maintaining enough cutting efficiency for general construction and framing work.
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 reduce tear-out.
This blade leans more toward cleaner crosscuts and finish-conscious cutting than aggressive ripping. It can still handle framing and general-purpose cuts, but a lower-tooth-count blade is usually the better choice when maximum ripping speed is the priority.
Yes. The 40-tooth configuration and ATB geometry make it a strong choice for plywood when a cleaner finished edge and reduced tear-out are important.
The blade has a 5/8" arbor with a diamond knockout, allowing compatibility with saws designed for either the round or diamond arbor configuration. Use only the arbor configuration required by your specific saw.
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 DCS565B/DCS565P1, Makita XSH03Z and Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2730-20 6-1/2-inch circular saws. The round 5/8-inch arbor is used on these named models. 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 9,500 RPM.
The blade has a maximum operating speed of 9,500 RPM. Never use it on a saw whose operating speed exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the blade.
