Popular Tools General Purpose TCG Saw Blades (GT / GTM / GTL Series)

Popular Tools GT, GTM, and GTL series blades are general purpose TCG (Triple Chip Grind) carbide saw blades designed for high production cutting of natural woods, plywood, chipboard, and MDF. The TCG geometry offers less wear than ATB with nearly the same quality of cut, making these blades ideal for demanding shop and production work.

Where TCG Blades Shine

• High production ripping and crosscutting in solid wood
• Cutting plywood, chipboard, and MDF panels
• Applications where blade life and durability matter as much as finish quality

GT vs GTM vs GTL Series

• GT Series: Core general purpose TCG blades for natural woods and panel products.
• GTM Series: Uses Micro-Sheen C-4 sub-micron carbide for longer tool life and excellent performance in abrasive materials and countertop work (certain negative hook models).
• GTL Series: Features laser cuts in the body to help reduce noise and vibration during cutting.

Countertop-Capable Models

The GTM1610, GTM1612, GTM1810, and GTM1812 blades feature a negative hook design and Micro-Sheen sub-micron tips, making them excellent choices for cutting countertops.

Sizes and Mounting Options

• Diameters from 7-1/4" up through large industrial sizes
• Standard bores like 5/8" and 1", plus metric 30mm and 220–350mm panel saw sizes
