The Best Negative Rake Blades at Saxton Blades

At Saxton Blades, we supply professional-quality negative rake saw blades developed for precision cutting across a variety of materials. A negative rake saw blade features a hook angle that leans slightly backwards, offering greater control and reducing the risk of grab- particularly important when using mitre saws and radial arm saws. 

Our range of negative rake blades includes options suitable for:

Crosscutting Timber:

Produce smooth, splinter-reduced cuts across the grain with high-tooth-count blades designed for clean finishes.

Laminated Boards & MDF:

Minimise chipping on veneered or laminated surfaces with a precisely ground negative rake circular saw blade.

Plastics & Acrylics:

Maintain control and reduce material lifting when cutting brittle materials.

Non-Ferrous Metals:

Selected blades are suitable for aluminium and similar materials, delivering accurate, burr-reduced cuts when used at the correct speeds.

Available in a range of diameters, bore sizes, and tooth counts, our blades are compatible with most common UK saw models. Reduction rings are included where required, ensuring straightforward fitting and dependable operation.

Why Choose a Negative Rake Saw Blade?

The key advantage of a negative rake saw blade lies in its tooth geometry. Unlike standard positive hook blades, negative rake teeth angle slightly away from the direction of rotation. This provides:

• Improved feed control
• Reduced grab on entry
• Cleaner crosscuts
• Enhanced operator safety
• Greater precision on mitre and radial arm saws

When combined with hardened steel bodies and premium tungsten carbide tips, the result is a blade that maintains sharpness longer while delivering a superior cut finish.

FAQs

Do negative rake circular saw blades fit all saws?

Blades must match your saw’s diameter, tooth spacing and bore size. Always check your saw’s specifications before purchase to ensure compatibility. 

Why are tungsten carbide tips important?

Tungsten carbide tips increase durability and wear resistance, allowing the blade to retain sharpness longer and deliver consistent cutting performance over time. 

What are negative rake blades used for?

Negative rake blades are primarily used for controlled crosscutting. They are ideal for mitre saws and radial arm saws, where reduced grab and improved finish quality are essential.
