Its 48 fine-grain carbide teeth use an alternating-tooth geometry that slices cleanly through wood fibres, producing exceptionally neat and low-splinter cross-cuts in solid timber as well as high-quality cuts in veneered and coated sheet materials. The blade is equally well suited to fine cutting of MDF, making it an excellent choice for furniture manufacturing, panel sizing, cabinetmaking and kitchen installation. Manufactured from high-quality steel with precisely matched tooth geometry and an 8° chip angle, the blade combines a stable 1.8 mm body with a 2.8 mm cutting width for smooth, controlled operation. Designed specifically for the Festool AT 65 and AP 65 saws, this WOOD FINE CUT blade is an ideal replacement when clean edges and dependable professional accuracy are more important than maximum feed speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWOOD FINE CUT – when the finished edge really matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFine-cut saw blades use a higher tooth count than general-purpose or ripping blades. This means more cutting edges are engaged with the workpiece during each revolution, allowing wood fibres and delicate surface layers to be cut progressively rather than aggressively torn away.

Festool's designation for carbide cutting material. Fine-grain carbide combines excellent hardness with long cutting-edge life.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 48 teeth?\u003c\/strong\u003e A higher tooth count means each tooth removes a smaller amount of material. This produces a smoother cutting action and finer finished edge than a low-tooth-count ripping blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternating-tooth geometry explained:\u003c\/strong\u003e Successive teeth are bevelled alternately left and right. This creates a shearing cut through the surface fibres and is particularly effective for clean cross-cuts and panel work.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the chip angle only 8°?\u003c\/strong\u003e The relatively moderate positive angle provides controlled cutting behaviour suited to fine finishing rather than the aggressive feed associated with coarse ripping blades.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.8 mm kerf versus 1.8 mm blade body:\u003c\/strong\u003e The carbide teeth project beyond the steel body and create a 2.8 mm-wide cutting slot. The narrower 1.8 mm body can then travel freely through the kerf without excessive friction.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited to cross-cutting:\u003c\/strong\u003e When timber is cut across the grain, many fibres need to be severed cleanly at the surface. The 48-tooth fine-cut geometry is specifically designed for this task.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent for veneered material:\u003c\/strong\u003e The controlled cutting action helps minimise tearing and breakout of thin veneer layers along the cut edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhen not to choose this blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e For prolonged ripping along the grain in thick solid timber, a lower-tooth-count ripping blade normally provides faster chip removal and lower cutting resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eFine-cut blade versus universal blade\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eA universal blade is designed to balance cutting speed and finish across a broad range of work. The WOOD FINE CUT blade shifts that balance strongly toward finished cut quality. Its 48 teeth engage the workpiece more frequently, making it especially suitable for cross-cutting solid wood and cutting decorative panels where visible breakout would otherwise require additional finishing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- Pro Tip --\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"tip-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch4\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse this blade when the finished cut edge will remain visible or requires minimal subsequent sanding.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eFor cross-cutting solid timber, allow the blade to work at a smooth, controlled feed rate rather than pushing the saw aggressively.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eKeep the carbide teeth clean.
