The Makita B-17049 is a high-quality circular saw blade made from durable steel with robust, long-lasting carbide teeth. Designed specifically for cutting wood, its 7-inch (180 mm) diameter and 30 teeth make it a balanced choice for tasks that require both cutting speed and a good finish. It's ideal for carpenters and general users who need an efficient and durable blade for various woodworking applications.

Features of the Makita B-17049

• Carbide-Tipped (TCT - Tungsten Carbide Tipped) Teeth: The saw teeth are made from tungsten carbide, which is significantly stronger and more durable than general steel, ensuring prolonged sharpness, reducing the need for frequent resharpening, and providing sharp, clean cuts.
  
• Designed Specifically for Wood Cutting: Perfect for cutting both softwoods and hardwoods, including engineered wood products like plywood, MDF, and particle board, ensuring smooth cutting.
  
• High Heat Resistance: The blade body undergoes a manufacturing process that makes it highly resistant to heat, reducing blade warping during continuous use and maintaining cutting precision.
  
• Excellent Chip Ejection: The design of the teeth and gullets (spaces between teeth) ensures efficient sawdust removal, reducing blade clogging and contributing to faster operation.
  
• Balanced Speed and Smoothness: With 30 teeth, it's ideally suited for tasks requiring quick cuts while still delivering a reasonably good finish for general use, whether ripping or cross-cutting.
