Product Specification

7-1/4" 40-TOOTH TCT SAW BLADE FOR STEEL & FERROUS METAL

The Benchmark Abrasives 7-1/4" 40-Tooth TCT Saw Blade is built for fast, controlled cutting of steel and other ferrous metals. Its 40-tooth configuration and TCG (Triple Chip Grind) tooth geometry favor efficient material removal and strong chip clearance, making it a practical choice for fabrication, installation and jobsite cutting.

Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth help deliver clean cuts with fewer sparks and less heat than traditional abrasive cutting methods. The 20 mm arbor with included 5/8" bushing expands fitment options for compatible corded and cordless circular saws, while the 0.087" kerf provides a stable cutting path through common steel shapes such as tubing, angle iron, rebar and flat stock.

Product Features

  • 40-tooth configuration favors faster cutting and efficient chip removal.
  • TCG tooth geometry helps distribute the cutting load across alternating tooth profiles for durable metal-cutting performance.
  • Tungsten carbide-tipped teeth provide a long-lasting cutting edge for repeated steel cutting.
  • 0.087" kerf provides a stable cutting path through common ferrous-metal shapes.
  • 20 mm arbor with 5/8" bushing adds fitment flexibility for compatible circular saws.
  • Reduced sparks and heat compared with traditional abrasive cutting methods help provide a cleaner cutting experience.
  • 5,800 RPM maximum speed clearly identifies the operating limit for proper machine selection.

Materials & Applications

Best For

  • Mild steel
  • Steel
  • Wrought iron
  • Square tubing
  • Round pipe and tubing
  • Angle iron
  • Rebar
  • Flat stock
  • Steel plate up to 1/8"

The 40-tooth configuration is well suited for fabrication, installation, maintenance and general metalworking applications where cutting speed and productivity are important while still maintaining a clean finished edge.

Machine Compatibility

Designed for compatible 7-1/4" corded and cordless circular saws that accept the blade diameter, arbor configuration and operating speed.

Common compatible saw brands include:

  • Makita® 4131

Always verify your saw's blade diameter, arbor size and operating RPM before installation. The saw must not exceed the blade's 5,800 RPM maximum rating.

Choosing the Right Tooth Count

With With 40 teeth on a 7-1/4" blade, this blade favors faster cutting and efficient chip clearance. Higher tooth-count blades in the same size are better suited when a smoother finished edge is the higher priority.

Tips for Better Blade Performance

  • Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting.
  • Use a steady, controlled feed rate and allow the carbide teeth to perform the cut.
  • Avoid forcing the blade through the material.
  • Keep chips and debris clear of the cutting path.
  • Inspect the blade before use for damaged, missing or excessively worn teeth.
  • Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when cutting performance noticeably declines.
  • Saw blade lubricant can help reduce buildup and extend blade life during demanding applications.
  • Never exceed the blade's 5,800 RPM maximum operating speed.

Safety

  • Use only on saws designed to accept this blade diameter and arbor configuration.
  • Never install the blade on a machine that exceeds the blade's maximum RPM.
  • Keep all factory guards installed and properly functioning.
  • Inspect the blade before every use. Do not use a cracked, warped or damaged blade.
  • Secure the workpiece before cutting and maintain control throughout the cut.
  • Do not use this blade on stainless steel or hardened materials.
  • Wear appropriate eye, hearing, respiratory and hand protection for the application.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ava ★★★★★

Cut through 3/16" flat bar like it was butter, and the 40-tooth count kept the edges surprisingly clean with almost no burrs to file off. The carbide tips held up through a full afternoon of cutting without any visible chipping. Well worth the money for anyone doing regular metal work.

Samuel ★★★★★

Had to cut some 1/4" angle iron for a gate project, and this blade made it look easy. The carbide tips held up well with no chipping after a full afternoon of work.

Steven ★★★★★

Cut through a dozen pieces of 3/8" flat stock this afternoon and the teeth still look factory fresh, no chipping or burning even at full speed. The 40-tooth count gives a finish smooth enough that I skipped the deburring pass on most cuts.
