What Is A Tct Blade?
TCT stands for tungsten carbide tips, and it’s the carbide blade tips of TCT saw blades that make them perfectly adept for cutting through all types of wood, laminates and plastics. The tungsten carbide coating allows the teeth to easily and quickly cut through wood, all the while preserving the lifespan of the blade and ensuring the blade doesn’t wear down too quickly. This is because tungsten carbide is a chemical compound that is two times stiffer compared to steel.
If you’re going to be cutting wood, it’s important you use the right blade. If not, the cut will be unclean, and the blade will wear down quickly, meaning you’ll end up going through multiple saw blades and creating sub-par cuts.
