Radial Arm Saw Blades | Industrial Carbide-Tipped, Negative Hook

Radial arm saw blades take a beating that ordinary crosscut blades aren't built for. The blade rides above the work and is pulled into the cut, so a standard high-hook woodworking blade tends to grab, self-feed, and climb the stock. Every blade in this collection is industrial-grade carbide-tipped and ground with a negative, zero, or only slightly positive hook angle. That reduced hook keeps the blade from grabbing as it's pulled through the material, giving you controlled, splinter-free general-purpose crosscuts across solid wood, plywood, chipboard, masonite, and single-sided laminates.

What's stocked

We carry full-kerf radial arm and overhead saw blades from 8-1/2" through 20" in diameter, plus 450mm truss and component blades, in 40 to 80 teeth. You'll find both 5/8" and 1" arbor bores, alternate-top-bevel (ATB) and triple-chip (TCG) grinds, and rigid full-thickness plates that resist deflection and vibration on heavy production machines. Blades are offered in premium (LORNA Industrial) and value (Popular Tools) lines so you can match the blade to the run.

How to choose a radial arm saw blade

Hook angle. The negative hook is what makes a radial arm blade safe and accurate. A more aggressive negative angle (around −5°) gives the most control and the least grabbing on overhead pull-down and chop-style cuts; zero and slightly negative angles suit larger-diameter blades where chip clearance matters more. If a blade is grabbing or self-feeding on your machine, you almost always want more negative hook, not less.

ATB vs. TCG grind. Alternating top bevel (ATB) is the all-around choice for clean crosscuts in solid wood, plywood, and single-sided laminate. Triple-chip grind (TCG) wears far slower on abrasive and harder materials, double-sided laminate, melamine, and Formica, and holds a clean edge longer across long production runs, at a small trade in initial cut finish.

Tooth count. More teeth give a finer, smoother finish and are better for trim, moulding, and finish crosscuts; fewer teeth clear chips faster for general framing and rougher lumber.

Diameter and bore. Match the blade diameter and arbor bore to your machine. We stock both 5/8" and 1" bores across the common diameters, and any blade can be modified to fit a different bore or pin pattern if your machine needs it.

Truss and component saw blades (450mm)

Our 450mm blades are built for overhead truss and component saws, such as Spida, Apollo, and MangoTech machines. These run above the material like a radial arm saw, which is why they live in this collection. The blades listed here use a positive hook angle suited to those component-saw applications; a negative-hook option is also available for machines that require it.

Made to fit your machine

These are aftermarket blades made to fit a wide range of radial arm, overhead, and component saws. If you need a different bore, a keyway, or a custom pin pattern, any blade can be modified to fit your machine. Carbide-tipped teeth resharpen many times over, keeping your cost-per-cut low across the life of the blade. Brand names are the property of their respective owners.
