The DEWALT DWA161240 6-1/2-inch, 40-tooth framing circular saw blade is made to keep production moving on framing and cross-cut applications. It uses the exclusive ToughTrack tooth design to maintain accurate tracking over the life of the blade, so you spend less time fighting drift and more time making clean, square cuts.
The patented body slots work with the thin kerf to reduce vibration and deliver an exceptionally smooth feel at the saw. High-density tungsten carbide teeth resist wear and hold their edge through tough, abrasive cuts, and the reinforced shoulder adds impact resistance when you run into nail-embedded wood.
A 40-tooth blade gives you a good combination of cut speed and finish quality for framing lumber and crosscuts. It won't leave the ragged edge of a ripping blade, but it's faster than a high-tooth finish blade. If you cut mostly dimensional lumber and sheathing, this is a reliable choice.
The 6-1/2-inch diameter fits compact circular saws and trim saws with a 5/8-inch arbor. It is optimized for both corded and cordless saws, and the ToughCoat anti-stick coating keeps pitch from building up in the teeth. Use it for wood and wood composites; switch to a metal-cutting blade for steel or masonry.

This blade is engineered for framing crews, but it can also handle cross-cutting and general woodworking.
The unique tooth geometry keeps the blade tracking true over its lifespan, so cuts stay square even after extended use. You'll notice less wobble and fewer pinched cuts.
Clean the blade when resin accumulates, and keep it in a dry place. Use a blade stiffener or proper arbor washer to prevent side runout.
For compact circular saws with a 6-1/2-inch blade, this is a direct fit. If you're using a cordless saw, the thin kerf design reduces resistance and saves battery power.
Always unplug or remove the battery before changing blades, and wear appropriate PPE. Inspect the blade for cracks or missing teeth before each use.
ToughTrack is a patented tooth geometry that helps the blade stay true and track accurately over its lifespan, reducing drifting and producing cleaner cuts.
Yes, if your saw has a 5/8-inch arbor, which is standard on most 6-1/2-inch corded and cordless circular saws.
Yes, the tungsten carbide teeth and anti-stick coating handle treated lumber, but be aware that the coating may wear faster with highly resinous wood.
It's more of a framing and cross-cut blade. For a finer finish on trim and plywood, choose a 60-tooth finish blade.
Cuts straight and true.
I've cut hundreds of 2x4s with this blade. It's still sharp. The cuts are smooth. It doesn't bind. Great value.
It works well on regular lumber. I tried it on pressure treated and it dulled faster. But for standard framing, it's good.
Excellent blade.
I've been using this with my circular saw. It cuts through studs like butter. The teeth are tough. I've had no issues. It's a good buy.
It reduces vibration on my saw. The cuts are clean. But it's not carbide-tipped? Wait, it says tungsten carbide. I guess it's fine.
I bought two. They hold up well. I use them on my job site. They're worth it.
I needed it for a project.
It cuts fine. I don't notice a huge difference from my old blade, but it's nice.
I've been framing for 15 years. This blade is reliable. It stays sharp. It's my go-to.
I like it a lot.
I've cut plywood and 2x4s. The cuts are clean. It doesn't splinter much. It's a good upgrade.
This blade is smooth. I used it to cut oak and it didn't burn. The thin kerf saves wood. It's worth the money.
It's a good blade, but I've had others with more teeth that cut smoother. For framing, it's fine.
