Key Features & Benefits
- Fine grain carbide tips — premium tungsten carbide maintains sharpness longer for consistent cutting performance in solid wood for fast rip cuts.
- 1.8mm thin kerf — narrower cut width requires less motor effort, produces less waste and is the correct kerf for the TS 55 F, TSC 55 K, HK 55 and HKC 55 saws. Not compatible with older TS 55 / TS 55 R saws which use 2.2mm kerf blades.
- W (Alternating) tooth geometry — optimised cutting geometry for clean, controlled cuts with minimal tear-out in the target material.
- Colour-coded identification — each blade in the thin kerf range has a colour-coded label for quick identification of the correct blade for the job.
- Precision-tensioned body — the blade plate is tensioned for reduced vibration and noise, producing smoother cuts and extending blade life.
When to Use This Blade
Choose the 205550 W12 for fast rip cuts along the grain in solid timber, breaking down rough stock and quick site cuts where speed matters more than edge finish. For a general-purpose blade handling both rip and cross cuts, step up to the 205551 W28. For fine cross-cuts on show surfaces, use the 205553 W42.
