PCD Circular Saw Blades at Saxton Blades

Choosing the right PCD circular saw blade is essential for achieving clean, accurate cuts when working with highly abrasive materials. At Saxton Blades, our range of PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) Circular Blades is designed to deliver exceptional durability and a significantly longer working life than conventional TCT blades.

Ideal for professional tradespeople and frequent users, our PCD blades are engineered to maintain their cutting performance for longer, reducing blade changes and improving productivity on site.

PCD Circular Blades for Fibre Cement & Abrasive Materials

Our PCD circular saw blades are specifically designed for cutting abrasive sheet materials that quickly wear standard carbide blades. With ultra-hard Polycrystalline Diamond teeth, they provide cleaner cuts, longer service life, and outstanding value over time.

PCD circular blades are ideal for cutting:

• Fibre cement board
• Cement bonded particle board
• Hardie® board
• Calcium silicate board
• Abrasive composite panels
• Other fibre-reinforced cement products

Available in a range of popular diameters, our blades are compatible with many leading circular saws and plunge saws from major manufacturers.

Why Choose a PCD Circular Blade?

Compared with standard TCT blades, PCD blades offer several advantages:

• Significantly longer blade life when cutting abrasive materials
• Cleaner, more consistent cuts
• Reduced downtime from fewer blade changes
• Lower long-term cutting costs
• Professional-quality performance for demanding applications

While TCT blades remain the best choice for timber and general construction materials, PCD blades are specifically designed for materials that rapidly wear conventional carbide teeth.

FAQs

What is a PCD circular saw blade?

A PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) circular saw blade uses ultra-hard synthetic diamond cutting teeth bonded to a steel blade body. PCD teeth are considerably harder and more wear-resistant than tungsten carbide, making them ideal for cutting highly abrasive materials.

What materials can PCD blades cut?

PCD circular blades are designed for abrasive materials including:

• Fibre cement board
• Hardie® board
• Cement bonded particle board
• Calcium silicate board
• Fibre-reinforced cement products
• Composite cement panels

What is the difference between PCD and TCT blades?

TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) blades are ideal for general woodworking, sheet materials, plastics, and some metals. PCD blades are specifically designed for highly abrasive materials that would quickly dull carbide teeth. While PCD blades cost more initially, they typically last many times longer in the correct application.

Can PCD blades be sharpened?

Yes. Professional sharpening services can re-tip and sharpen PCD blades, although the process requires specialist diamond grinding equipment. For many professional users, sharpening helps maximise the lifespan of the blade.

Are PCD blades worth it?

If you regularly cut fibre cement or other abrasive materials, a PCD blade is an excellent investment. Although the initial purchase price is higher than a TCT blade, the greatly extended blade life and consistent cutting performance often make it the more economical choice over time.
