Product Details

Which tools and machines can this 160 mm Festool saw blade be used with?

For reliable results, check your saw model is compatible with a 160 mm blade size. This is a dedicated Festool saw blade designed for cutting aluminium composite panels, so it is best suited to professional metal cutting workflows where a fine, controlled cut matters.

How many teeth does the blade have and why does that matter?

This blade has 52 teeth. A higher tooth count generally supports a smoother cut with less chipping, which is particularly useful when working with materials like aluminium composite panels where neat edges are important.

Is this blade suitable for cutting aluminium composite panels?

Yes. Its stated application is for machining aluminium composite panels, helping you achieve clean, accurate cutting when compared with blades that are intended for rougher timber or general purpose use.

What blade thickness should I expect, and does it affect the cut?

The thickness is 1.80 mm. Blade thickness can influence kerf and stability during cutting, so having the correct specifications for your task helps maintain control and reduces unwanted vibration or wandering.

Will the tooth quality help with cut quality?

Yes. The blade features high quality metal saw teeth, which are made to deliver consistent performance across repeated cuts. Using a suitable blade helps maintain edge quality, especially on aluminium composite materials.

How do I choose the right tooth count for my project?

Use 52 teeth when you want a finer finish. For aluminium composite panel work, this tooth count is geared towards cleaner results. If your project prioritises speed over finish, you may find lower tooth options are used elsewhere, but for tidy edges this 52 tooth blade is a strong match.
