184mm Saw Blades
184mm circular saw blades are commonly used on corded site saws and mains-powered circular saws. They offer a deeper cut than 165mm cordless blades — making them ideal for timber framing, sheet board and second fix installs.
Where Are 184mm Blades Used?
Designed for heavy use and deeper cuts across timber and boards:
- Stud & Frame Cuts – Rip joists, CLS, and structural timber with ease
- Ply & OSB Sheets – Cut down sheet goods on-site or in workshop settings
- Laminates & Flooring – Choose fine tooth blades for chip-free finish
- General Construction – Perfect for 2nd fix and boarding where deeper reach is needed
Used By:
- Builders and site framers using corded circular saws
- Joiners and kitchen fitters cutting thick boards and laminate
- DIYers upgrading blade stock for mains-powered saws
Choosing the Right 184mm Blade
Check bore fitment, tooth count and blade coating before buying:
1. Bore Size
Most 184mm blades use a 16mm bore — confirm your saw’s spec or check for reducer rings.
2. Tooth Count
24T for structural ripping, 40–60T for finish work or laminates.
3. Material Use
Tungsten carbide tips for wood, ATB grinds for laminate, and coated blades for reduced friction and dust.

184mm Blade FAQs
Will these fit a standard circular saw?
Many corded saws are built for 184mm blades — check your bore diameter (typically 16mm) to ensure compatibility.
Are they suitable for plywood?
Yes — opt for 40T or higher tooth count for clean edges on ply, chipboard and MDF panels.
Can I use them in a cordless saw?
Only if your cordless saw specifically supports 184mm blades. Most cordless models use 165mm — check your tool rating.
What’s the best option for general site work?
Use a 24T TCT blade for timber work and a 40T ATB blade for finishing — this covers most board and stud tasks efficiently.
