PCD Ripping Circular Saw Blade
PCD ripping circular saw blade. Staggered bevel teeth, 10° positive rake; longitudinal cutting of softwood and hardwood with loose knots on table and multichip saws.
The VPOINT PCD Ripping Circular Saw Blade is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade. Ideal for longitudinal (rip) cutting of solid wood, table saw ripping and multichip saw lines.
The PCD ripping circular saw blade carries polycrystalline diamond tips with staggered bevel teeth at a 10° positive rake angle for longitudinal rip cutting. Diameters, tooth counts and bores follow the specifications table.
Design and Construction
The PCD ripping circular saw blade carries polycrystalline diamond tips with staggered bevel teeth at a 10° positive rake angle, designed for longitudinal (rip) cutting of solid wood. Blades are produced to order for the saw and cutting width: diameter, kerf/plate thickness, bore and tooth count are matched to each application.
How It Works
In rip cuts the staggered bevel pattern alternates the shearing action across the kerf, keeping the edge clean in softwood and hardwood with loose knots — a condition that chips lesser geometries. The 10° positive rake lowers feed force, and the PCD tips hold sharpness through high-volume ripping where carbide would dull in hours.
Applications
- Longitudinal (rip) cutting of solid wood
- Table saw ripping
- Multichip saw lines
- High-volume solid wood component production
Suitable Materials
- Softwood with loose knots
- Hardwood
- Solid wood boards and flitches
- Engineered wood
The PCD tips hold their edge through knotty, abrasive softwood ripping, keeping cut width stable in high-volume runs.
Material Comparison: PCD vs. Tungsten Carbide
The figures below are typical industry data for production woodworking. PCD does not replace carbide in every job — carbide remains the right choice for low-volume general work — but on abrasive sheet goods the difference in blade life is decisive.
| Property | PCD Diamond (This Blade) | Tungsten Carbide |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 7,000–9,000 HV | 1,500–2,000 HV |
| Tool life on MDF / particleboard / melamine | 15–20× longer (500–1,200 h) | 30–60 h (baseline) |
| Tool life on solid hardwood | 10–13× longer (800–2,000 h) | 80–150 h (baseline) |
| Tool life on abrasive boards (fibre cement / composites) | 10–15× longer | baseline |
| Edge renewal | Limited regrinds — the economics come from 15–20× longer intervals between changes, not regrind count | 4–6 regrinds at shorter intervals |
| Cut finish | Ra ≤ 0.2 μm achievable, stable over the blade life | Ra ~0.8 μm typical, degrades as teeth wear |
| Thermal conductivity | 540–560 W/m·K — heat leaves the tooth tip fast | ~80 W/m·K |
| Friction coefficient | ≈ 0.05 — lower cutting forces and heat | ≈ 0.3 |
| Suited for | Abrasive engineered wood, laminates, composites, fibre cement, non-ferrous metals | General-purpose solid-wood work; the economic choice at lower volumes |
Figures are typical published values; actual blade life depends on the workpiece material, feed rate, depth of cut, machine condition and maintenance schedule.
Delivery Scope
Blades are made to order for your saw. Send the machine model, or the old blade with its diameter, kerf, bore and tooth count, and our engineering team will quote the exact specification.
Why Choose VPOINT
- One-year warranty on every blade — defects in material or workmanship are covered for 12 months from delivery.
- Custom tooling — diameters, kerfs, bores and tooth counts built to your drawing or sample.
- Non-standard fabrication — sizes outside the standard catalogue, including bore re-sizing and tooth-count changes.
- Resharpening service — blades return to service after regrinding at a fraction of new-blade cost.
- Factory-direct since 2008 — ISO 9001 manufacturing in Sichuan and Dongguan, China; 40Cr chrome-molybdenum steel bodies; no trading intermediaries.
Send a drawing, a sample or a worn blade, and our engineering team will quote the exact specification you need.
Precision & Quality Control
Every blade is inspected before shipment. Outside diameter, kerf thickness, plate thickness, bore diameter and tooth count are measured against the values listed in the specifications table, and tooth geometry (hook angle, bevel angle) is verified against the design drawing. Blades are stress-checked for runout and tension before packing.
Blades measuring outside tolerance do not ship. Inspection is performed under our ISO 9001 quality system, with batch records retained for traceability.

Produced to order against the machine and the panel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PCD Ripping Circular Saw Blade used for?
The PCD ripping circular saw blade carries polycrystalline diamond tips with staggered bevel teeth at a 10° positive rake angle, designed for longitudinal (rip) cutting of solid wood.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the specification table on this page: part numbers fix the cutting diameter, shank and cutting length. State the diameter, shank and cutting length you need when ordering.
Which materials does it suit?
Typical materials include Softwood with loose knots, Hardwood, Solid wood boards and flitches. Confirm the material grade and machining conditions for the specific tool before ordering.
Can I order a custom version?
Yes. Send the profile drawing or item code together with the workpiece material, machine model, cutting direction and quantity. Tools are produced to order, and each tool is packed in an individual plastic box.
