The CGW 45403 is an 8-inch abrasive-cutting saw blade designed for metalworking applications. It features a 5/8-inch arbor and 42 teeth, utilizing a ceramic (cermet) tip construction intended to deliver improved wear resistance and heat dissipation during dry cutting of mild steel, pipe, angle iron, and related materials. This blade employs an advanced thin-kerf design and precision-hardened, tensioned flat plates to promote cooler, cleaner cuts with fewer sparks and reduced post-cut deburring and cleanup requirements.
The combination of cermet tips and the blade geometry is specified to provide longer life relative to standard carbide-tipped blades, potentially delivering a lower cost per cut in metal-cutting tasks. It is intended for use in dedicated metal-cutting saws, including dry-cut saws, and is described as suitable for cutting various forms such as angle, channel, tubing, and plate, depending on the saw and material being processed.
Packaging specifies a single blade per package with a 8" diameter and 5/8" arbor. When selecting this blade, verify compatibility with your saw’s arbor size and material compatibility, and ensure the saw is appropriate for dry cutting to maximize performance and safety. The product is categorized under Facility Maintenance and is sold under the CGW brand with the part number CGW45403.
