Product Specification

8-1/4" 24-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR GENERAL PURPOSE CUTTING & FRAMING

The Benchmark Abrasives 8-1/4" 24 tooth TCT saw blade is built for fast, dependable cutting across hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and construction lumber. Its 24-tooth configuration favors efficient material removal and chip clearance, making it a strong choice for framing, decking and general construction work where productivity matters.

Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry help deliver clean, accurate cutting across common wood materials. The 0.087" kerf provides a stable cutting path, while the 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout adds fitment flexibility for compatible circular and worm-drive saws.

Product Features

  • 24-tooth configuration favors fast cutting and efficient chip clearance.
  • ATB tooth geometry helps slice cleanly across wood fibers for versatile construction cutting.
  • Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a durable cutting edge for repeated use.
  • 0.087" kerf provides a stable cutting path through common wood materials.
  • 5/8" arbor with diamond knockout provides fitment flexibility for compatible circular and worm-drive saws.
  • 8-1/4" diameter provides greater cutting capacity than smaller framing blades.
  • 7,500 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

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

The 24-tooth configuration makes this blade particularly useful for framing, construction, decking and other applications where fast, efficient cutting is more important than achieving the smoothest possible finished edge.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 8-1/4" circular and worm-drive saws using the proper round or diamond arbor configuration and operating within the blade's maximum speed rating.

Common compatible saws include:

  • Makita® 5008MGA 8-1/4" Circular Saw
  • SKILSAW® SPT78W-01 8-1/4" Worm-Drive Saw

Use the arbor configuration required by your exact saw.

Always confirm compatibility 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 7,500 RPM.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

With 24 teeth on an 8-1/4" blade, this blade favors faster cutting and chip clearance, making it well suited for framing and general-purpose construction work.

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 7,500 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.
  • 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 particularly well suited for general-purpose construction and framing cuts.
Yes. A 24-tooth configuration on an 8-1/4" blade provides fast cutting and good chip clearance, making it a strong choice for framing, decking and other construction applications where productivity is important.
ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel. The teeth alternate their bevel direction from one tooth to the next, helping slice through wood fibers cleanly while maintaining versatile cutting performance.
The 24-tooth configuration leans toward faster ripping and general-purpose construction cutting. It can also perform common crosscuts, but a higher-tooth-count blade is usually the better choice when a smoother crosscut finish is the priority.
Yes. This blade can cut plywood along with hardwoods and softwoods. For finish-sensitive plywood cuts, a higher-tooth-count blade may provide a cleaner result.
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.
Do not assume compatibility based only on blade diameter and arbor size. Some 8-1/4" table saws use a riving knife that requires a wider blade kerf. Confirm the saw manufacturer's kerf and riving-knife requirements before using this blade.
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 Makita 5008MGA 8-1/4-inch circular saw and the SKILSAW SPT78W-01 8-1/4-inch worm-drive saw. Use the arbor configuration required by the exact saw. 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 7,500 RPM.
The blade has a maximum operating speed of 7,500 RPM. Never use it on a saw whose operating speed exceeds the maximum RPM marked on the blade.
