Circular saw blade for Oak worktop

[billm]

The 184mm blade on my circular saw is many years old and I'm about to start fitting 40mm thick Oak worktops in my kitchen so I thought of buying a new one.

I'll be cutting the worktops to length and width.

Will this blade be OK ?

Poor quality blade with insufficient teeth for crosscutting. I suggest you need to look for something like a 28 to 36 tooth blade with an alternative top bevel (ATB) tooth grind. I recommend Bosch Optiline from experience, although Freud is also a good brand. Look around the net and you'll be able to pick up a decent blade for £25 or less, so why risk ruining an expensive worktop by using a piece of carp on it?

Good info thanks, I'll get a Bosch Optiline blade instead
