Take on framing and ripping tasks with confidence using the SKIL 8-1/4 in. carbide tipped circular saw blade. Built for speed and durability, this 24-tooth blade powers through lumber while delivering clean, dependable cuts that keep your project moving forward.
Designed for 8-1/4-inch saws with a 13/16-inch arbor, this blade uses carbide-tipped teeth for lasting edge retention under heavy ripping. The aggressive kerf of 0.0866 in reduces resistance for quicker passes, while the blade thickness of 0.081 in helps minimize waste and heat buildup during long cuts. A maximum speed rating of 7900 RPM ensures compatibility with the saws most commonly used on framing jobs.

Why this blade stands out
- 24-teeth configured for rapid ripping through framing lumber, delivering straight, consistent cuts with reduced tear-out on common softwoods and hardwoods used in construction.
- Carbide-tipped teeth provide longer edge life than standard steel blades, meaning fewer sharpenings and more productive job days.
- Narrow kerf and thin blade geometry minimize resistance and heat buildup, helping you push through boards with less effort and smoother cuts.
- Diamond Knockout arbor design simplifies mounting and helps maintain alignment for precise results across projects.
Ideal applications and practical tips
- Great for framing and rough carpentry where speed and durability trump ultra-fine finishes.
- For long rip cuts, maintain steady feed pressure and let the blade do the work to minimize burning and binding.
- Ensure your saw supports a 13/16 in arbor and that the blade is properly tightened before each cut for optimal performance.
- Use with appropriate PPE and a stable work surface; check the blade for sharpness and signs of wear before starting a project.
