The Benchmark Abrasives 8" 64 tooth TCT saw blade is designed for smooth, precise cutting of hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and other wood materials where finish quality matters. Its high 64-tooth configuration provides a cleaner finished edge and reduced tear-out, making it the finish-focused choice in our 8" wood blade lineup.
Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth and ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) geometry help produce accurate, controlled cuts across wood fibers. 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
64-tooth configuration prioritizes smoother edge quality and reduced tear-out.
ATB tooth geometry helps slice cleanly across wood fibers for finish-sensitive 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.
Fine-finishing design makes this blade a strong choice for plywood, trim and other applications where cut appearance matters.
7,500 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.
Materials & Applications
Best For
Softwood
Hardwood
Plywood
Finish plywood
Trim work
Finish carpentry
Fine crosscuts
Finish-sensitive wood cutting
The 64-tooth configuration is particularly well suited for applications where a smoother finished edge and reduced secondary sanding or cleanup are more important than maximum cutting speed.
Machine Compatibility
Designed for compatible 8" circular or worm-drive saws that accept a 5/8" round arbor or the specified diamond-arbor configuration and operate within the blade's maximum speed rating.
Common compatible saw brands include:
Craftsman®
Makita®
Black+Decker®
SKIL®
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 7,500 RPM.
Choosing the Right Tooth Count
With 64 teeth on an 8" blade, this is the smoother, finish-focused option compared with the 24T version, making it better suited for plywood, trim and fine crosscutting.
Tips for Better Blade Performance
Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
Use a steady, controlled 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 clean 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.
This blade is designed for wood applications, including softwoods, hardwoods and plywood. It is particularly well suited for finish-sensitive work where a smoother edge and reduced tear-out are important.
Choose the 24-tooth blade when faster cutting, framing and productivity are the priorities. Choose the 64-tooth blade when a smoother finished edge, reduced tear-out and fine-cut quality are more important.
A higher tooth count keeps more cutting teeth engaged with the material and reduces the amount of wood removed by each individual tooth. This generally produces a finer edge than a lower-tooth-count blade.
ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel. The teeth alternate their bevel direction from one tooth to the next, helping slice cleanly through wood fibers and reduce tear-out.
Yes. The 64-tooth configuration makes this blade especially well suited for plywood and other finish-sensitive wood products where minimizing tear-out and maintaining a clean edge are priorities.
This blade is designed primarily for fine crosscutting and finish-sensitive work. It can cut along the grain, but a lower-tooth-count blade such as the 24T is generally more efficient when fast ripping is the priority.
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 saw brands include Craftsman, Makita, Black+Decker and SKIL for 8-inch circular or worm-drive saws that accept a 5/8-inch round arbor or the specified diamond-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 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.
Pitch and resin buildup can reduce cut quality even when the carbide teeth are still sharp, so clean the blade periodically. Increased tear-out, slower cutting or greater cutting effort 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.
