The right circular saw blade for almost any machine type: Bosch is expanding the existing “Expert for” range and is introducing dimensions for additional machine applications in five series. This includes the “Expert for Wood”, “Expert for Construct Wood”, “Expert for High Pressure Laminate”, “Expert for Fiber Cement” and “Expert for Sandwich Panel” circular saw blades. With this expansion, Bosch is offering specialized solutions for working on pressure laminates with miter and table saws and on fiber cement with miter saws. Using the “Expert for” range of circular saw blades, tradespeople can therefore rely on an accessory that is optimized for each material and that can be used in almost all hand-held or table saws, miter saws, plunge saws or metal dry cutters. The “Expert for” circular saw blades are therefore perfect for numerous trades – for joiners, metalworkers, installers of electrical, sanitary and heating systems, as well as for carpenters, roofers, and formwork, concrete and façade builders.
“Expert for” range: Carbide technology for high cutting performance
The “Expert for” range offers a special carbide and coating technology for precise cutting performance: The circular saw blades have teeth that are made of “MicroteQ” carbide. This means that the teeth are manufactured from extra-hard, durable metal grain. The grain size of the carbide is important for the sharpness and wear resistance of the cutting edge, which is why Bosch uses fine to very fine grain sizes to give its circular saw blades high cut quality and a long lifetime. For precision and a long life, the steel body on the circular saw blades is also of an exceptionally high quality and comes with “ProteQtion” coating: This prevents the saw blades from corroding and reduces friction. It also increases the cutting performance. With its "Expert for Fiber Cement", Bosch offers a special circular saw blade for use in fiber cement panels. Due to the abrasive properties of this material, Bosch uses polycrystalline diamonds (PCD), which are even harder than carbide, to manufacture the teeth. The result is a considerably longer life-time of the circular saw blade.
The extensive carbide range from Bosch also comprises circular saw blades for further special applications, for example for aluminum (“Expert for Aluminum”), steel (“Expert for Steel”), stainless steel (“Expert for Stainless Steel”), laminated panels (“Expert for Laminated Panel”) and for various materials such as plastic, wood and aluminum (“Expert for Multi-Material”).
