With so many options on the market, it isn’t easy to know where to begin, so here we will look at the TCT Blade and explain exactly what it is, when and where you should use it and why it is the right choice for you.
A TCT Blade, or Tungsten Carbide-Tipped Blade, is a saw blade that can be re-sharpened, has a long life and can be used for many different jobs. You can adjust the cutting speed and feed rate easily and gain a high degree of cutting control at the same time.
It is favoured by professionals who cut a lot of non-ferrous materials like wood and aluminium and it can also be used for plastic and other metals as well. Widely used throughout industries including construction, transport and machinery, this type of blade is accurate and precise yet allows for quick cutting safely and for longer than many non-carbide blades.
