• Blade length: 180mm. The blades of all Z-Saws are made from polished cold rolled high carbon steel strips which we source from prestigious manufacturers in the international market under strict quality control.
• Pitch: 1.75mm. The teeth of Z-Saw blades are ground using our self-developed automatic tooth grinding system using CBN grinding wheels. Even the smallest distortion will be automatically detected and carefully corrected.
• Thickness: 0.6mm. Z-Saw makes saw blades with several different basic tooth patterns (e.g. rip / cross / universal) each of which is applied to different saw blades with subtle variations depending on the use of each individual saw.
• Kerf: 0.92mm. All the teeth of Z-Saw branded blades are hardened through the “Hard Impulse” treatment to increase the degree of hardness to the level of HV800-950 (64.0 - 68.2 HRC), which is the maximum hardness which can be achieved on steel.
• Great for sawn wood. From DIY to professional use, you can choose the product that suits your needs.
