Product Information

Full details

This Bosch EXPERT Fibre Cement Circular Saw Blade is designed for professionals and serious DIYers working with fibre cement materials. Its key benefit is extended battery runtime and a long-lasting, durable cutting performance, even in abrasive conditions. A potential caveat is its specialist nature, meaning it's optimized for fibre cement and may not be the best choice for general-purpose cutting. This blade features an extra-thin kerf for reduced friction and power consumption, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) teeth for extreme durability, and a ProteQtion coating to prevent rust and further reduce friction.

FAQs

What makes this blade ideal for fibre cement?

The blade features extremely durable Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) teeth specifically designed to withstand the highly abrasive nature of fibre cement, combined with an extra-thin kerf and a ProteQtion coating for optimal performance and longevity.

Will this blade significantly reduce my cordless saw's battery consumption?

Yes, the extra-thin kerf reduces friction and the effort required by the saw, which in turn consumes less power, thereby maximizing your cordless saw's battery runtime.

Can I use this blade for cutting wood?

While it might cut wood, this blade is specifically engineered for fibre cement. Using it on wood may lead to less optimal results and faster wear on the PCD teeth than intended, as wood cutting requires different blade geometries.

What is the ProteQtion coating?

The ProteQtion coating is a special surface treatment that reduces friction during cutting, helps prevent rust and corrosion on the blade, and contributes to its overall durability and cutting performance.

How do I know if this blade will fit my saw?

The blade has a 305mm diameter and a 30mm bore. It's designed to work with or without reduction rings, making it compatible with a wide range of cordless mitre, plunge, and handheld saws that accept this blade size.

How long will this blade last?

Thanks to the Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) teeth and specialized coating, this blade offers an extremely long lifetime, significantly outlasting standard blades when cutting fibre cement.

What types of fibre cement can this blade cut?

It is ideal for cutting various fibre cement products, including roofing sheets, cladding boards, and soffit boards.

Troubleshooting

Blade vibrates excessively during use

Ensure the blade is securely fastened to the saw arbor. Check that the blade is not warped or damaged. Verify that the reduction ring (if used) is correctly seated.

Poor cut quality or excessive chipping

Confirm the blade is installed in the correct direction of rotation. Ensure the saw's speed is appropriate for the material. Check for any obstructions or damage to the PCD teeth.

Reduced battery runtime compared to expectations

While the thin kerf helps, ensure other factors are optimized: check saw speed, avoid forcing the blade, and ensure the material is properly supported. Verify the battery is healthy and fully charged.

Blade shows signs of rust

The ProteQtion coating helps prevent rust, but prolonged exposure to moisture can still cause it. Clean the blade thoroughly and store it in a dry place. A light application of a rust inhibitor might be considered for long-term storage if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maximizes battery life on cordless saws due to reduced power draw.
  • Extremely long lifespan, even in very abrasive materials.
  • Provides precise cuts with minimal splintering or rough edges.
  • Reduces dust creation for a cleaner work area.
  • Protects against rust and corrosion with its special coating.

Cons

  • Specialist blade; best suited for fibre cement, not general-purpose wood or metal cutting.
  • Higher initial cost compared to standard blades due to PCD technology.
  • Requires a compatible cordless saw; may not be suitable for all corded models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your circular saw is unplugged or the battery is removed before blade installation.
  2. Identify the correct bore size for your saw arbor. The EXPERT Fibre Cement blade features a bore that can accommodate reduction rings, allowing it to fit various saw models.
  3. If necessary, insert the appropriate reduction ring onto the blade's bore.
  4. Mount the blade onto the saw's arbor, ensuring the teeth are pointing in the correct direction of rotation (usually indicated by an arrow on the blade or saw housing).
  5. Secure the blade using the saw's flange and locking mechanism.
  6. Reinstall the battery or plug in the saw.

Compatibility:

This blade is designed for use with various cordless saw types including mitre saws, plunge saws, and handheld circular saws that accept a 305mm blade diameter with a 30mm bore (or can be adapted with a reduction ring). It is specifically optimized for cutting fibre cement.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe the blade clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  • Storage: Store the blade in a dry environment, ideally in its original packaging or a blade case, to prevent rust and damage.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the teeth for any signs of damage or excessive wear. While PCD teeth are extremely durable, they can chip if subjected to extreme impact.
