All Carbide Tipped Saw Blades

Browse the complete selection of carbide tipped saw blades for woodworking and non-ferrous metal cutting. Use the filters to narrow by diameter, arbor (bore) size, tooth count, grind, material, and machine type. Every LORNA Industrial blade is engineered in Germany for flat, true running and long carbide life in demanding production environments — with Popular Tools stocked alongside as a proven value option, so there’s a blade here for almost any cut.

Choosing a blade by material

The material you cut drives the grind, tooth count, and hook angle more than anything else. Here’s how the catalog breaks down:

• Melamine & laminate — high-tooth Hi-ATB or TCG for chip-free, glass-smooth edges on coated panel.
• Plywood & veneer — Hi-ATB to shear the face veneer cleanly and kill tear-out on both sides of the cut.
• MDF & particleboard — TCG in a hard carbide grade to stand up to the abrasion that dulls ordinary blades fast.
• Hardwood — FTG for ripping with the grain, 60–80T ATB for splinter-free crosscuts, or an ATB+R combination blade when you switch constantly.
• Softwood & construction lumber — low-tooth (24–30T) rip and general-purpose blades with big gullets to clear thick, resinous chips.
• Non-ferrous metal — aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, ACM/composite panel, and thin-wall extrusion and tube call for high-tooth TCG with a negative hook angle, which shears the metal cleanly without grabbing.
• Solid surface & plastic — Corian-type solid surface, acrylic, and PVC share that same TCG, negative-hook geometry for chip-free, melt-free edges.

Tooth grinds, explained

If you only learn one thing about saw blades, make it the grind — it’s the shape of the cutting edge, and it decides finish quality and feed.

• ATB (alternate top bevel) — teeth bevel left and right in turn, slicing wood fibers for clean crosscuts in solid wood and plywood.
• Hi-ATB (high alternate top bevel) — a steeper bevel for the cleanest possible edge on melamine, laminate, and veneered panel.
• TCG (triple chip grind) — a flat raker tooth followed by a chamfered tooth; the workhorse for non-ferrous metal, solid surface, plastic, laminate, and abrasive MDF.
• ATB+R (alternate top bevel with raker) — combination geometry that rips and crosscuts respectably from a single blade.
• FTG (flat top grind) — flat raker teeth that rake material out fast for efficient ripping with the grain.

Diameters, bores, and machine fitment

The catalog spans small-diameter blades up through large-format production sizes, in both imperial and metric — from compact blades for portable and bench machines to large blades for beam saws, gang rip lines, and sliding-table and panel saws. Bores (arbor holes) run the full range too, including 5/8" and 1" imperial standards and 20mm, 30mm, and other metric mounts, with the pin-hole patterns industrial machines rely on. Use the Fits machine and Machine types filters to match your saw, or filter by diameter and bore directly if you already know your spec. If you can’t find the exact configuration you need, reach out — between both lines we can source most industrial fitments.

LORNA Industrial and Popular Tools

LORNA Industrial is the German-made house line and the blade to reach for first: tensioned, precision-ground plates with laser-cut expansion slots for quiet, true running and the tooth geometry to back it up. Popular Tools rounds out the catalog as a dependable, value-priced alternative and fills spec gaps where LORNA doesn’t offer a given size. Both lines are selected for plate flatness, accurate tooth geometry, and long carbide life — so whichever you choose, you’re running a real industrial blade, not throwaway hardware-store stock.

Why carbide-tipped pays off

A carbide-tipped blade is a precision-ground steel plate fitted with individual tungsten-carbide teeth brazed around the rim. The steel body gives the blade flatness and stability; the carbide tips do the cutting and hold an edge far longer than plain high-speed steel. Because the tips carry real carbide depth, a quality blade can be resharpened many times over its service life — so one blade keeps cutting through cycle after cycle and your cost-per-cut stays low. That difference is where the value lives: a premium carbide blade resharpened properly outlasts a cheap throwaway many times over.

Shipping, stock, and returns

Most orders ship the same day, with fast U.S. shipping and free shipping on orders over $100. Returns are accepted within 30 days. If you can’t find the exact size or fitment you need, reach out — between LORNA Industrial and Popular Tools we can source most industrial configurations.
