Extra Information

What does WOOD UNIVERSAL mean? WOOD UNIVERSAL identifies a blade intended to perform well across a broad range of common woodworking applications. Rather than being optimised exclusively for ripping or very fine cross-cutting, it combines characteristics of both to create a practical everyday blade.
What does 210x2,4x30 mean? The designation describes the blade's principal dimensions: 210 mm outside diameter, 2.4 mm cutting width or kerf and a 30 mm centre bore.
What does W36 mean? W identifies Festool's alternating-tooth geometry used on this universal woodworking blade, while 36 indicates the total number of teeth.
Alternating teeth explained: Successive teeth are ground alternately to the left and right. This produces an efficient shearing action through wood fibres and makes the blade particularly versatile for both longitudinal and transverse cuts.
Why 36 teeth? A 36-tooth blade sits between coarse ripping and high-tooth-count fine-cut blades. It removes material efficiently while still producing a good-quality everyday finish.
15° chip angle: The medium positive cutting angle gives the blade sufficient cutting aggression for efficient ripping without making it unsuitable for controlled cross-cutting.
2.4 mm kerf: Cutting width refers to the width of the slot produced by the teeth. The 1.8 mm steel blade body is narrower than this kerf so that it runs freely behind the cutting teeth.
Fine-grain carbide: Festool uses high-quality carbide for the teeth to provide good edge retention, predictable cutting performance and extended service life.
Professional resharpening: When the blade becomes dull, a specialist sharpening service can restore the carbide cutting edges provided sufficient carbide remains and the blade body is undamaged.
Choose a specialised blade when required: The WOOD UNIVERSAL is the all-rounder. For exceptionally fast longitudinal cuts, choose a WOOD RIP CUT blade; for visible edges and very fine cross-cuts, a WOOD FINE CUT blade is normally the better choice.

Universal versus rip-cut and fine-cut blades

A rip-cut blade has relatively few teeth and larger chip spaces, making it ideal for rapid cutting along the grain. A fine-cut blade uses more teeth to achieve a smoother finish, particularly across the grain and on quality sheet materials. The 36-tooth WOOD UNIVERSAL sits between these two extremes, providing enough chip clearance for efficient ripping while retaining sufficient tooth engagement for clean cross-cuts. For everyday mixed woodworking, it is often the most convenient blade to leave fitted to the TS 75.

Pro Tips

Use the WOOD UNIVERSAL blade when a job involves both ripping and cross-cutting and you want to avoid unnecessary blade changes.
For very long rip cuts in thick solid timber, switch to a dedicated WOOD RIP CUT blade if maximum cutting speed is the priority.
For veneered, laminated or highly visible finished edges, choose the appropriate Festool fine-cut or material-specific blade where a finer finish is required.
Let the blade work at a smooth, consistent feed rate. Pushing the saw excessively hard can reduce cut quality and increase heat.
When cutting thick timber with the TS 75, make sure the workpiece is properly supported so the kerf cannot close and pinch the blade.
Keep the carbide teeth free of resin and adhesive residue. A dirty blade creates more friction and may appear blunt even when the cutting edges remain sharp.
Use a Festool guide rail for long straight cuts to take full advantage of the TS 75's precision and stability.
Keep the guide-rail splinter guard in good condition when cut-edge quality is important.
When cutting an unfamiliar material, make a test cut in an offcut to confirm blade suitability and finished cut quality.
Use effective dust extraction with the saw. Cleaner working conditions improve visibility and reduce the accumulation of chips around the cutting area.
Have the blade professionally sharpened as soon as noticeably greater feed pressure becomes necessary. Continuing to work with blunt carbide teeth increases heat and cutting forces.
Do not attempt to straighten a warped blade body. A distorted circular saw blade should be removed from service and assessed professionally.

How to Use

Disconnect the TS 75 from the mains supply before installing, removing or inspecting the saw blade.
Confirm that the blade dimensions are correct for the machine: 210 mm diameter, 30 mm bore and the required compatible cutting width.
Inspect the blade for cracked, damaged, missing or severely worn carbide teeth and check that the steel blade body is not distorted.
Use the TS 75 FastFix blade-changing system and spindle lock according to the Festool operating instructions.
Remove the existing blade and clean the spindle, flange and blade-contact surfaces.
Fit the HW 210x2,4x30 W36 with its indicated direction of rotation matching the direction marked on the saw.
Install and securely tighten the blade flange and retaining screw as specified in the TS 75 operating instructions.
Confirm that the blade is correctly seated and that all guards and machine components are returned to their operating positions.
Set the required cutting depth so the blade projects only as far through the workpiece as necessary for the cut.
Secure and support the workpiece correctly and connect suitable dust extraction where available.
Switch on the saw and allow the blade to reach full operating speed before entering the material.
Guide the saw smoothly through the workpiece without excessive feed pressure or sideways force.
Allow the blade to stop completely before removing offcuts, adjusting the workpiece or changing machine settings.
Clean the blade periodically and inspect the carbide teeth to maintain optimum cutting performance.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection whenever operating the saw.
Use the blade only with machines approved for its 210 mm diameter, 30 mm bore and cutting-width specification.
Disconnect the saw from the mains supply before fitting, removing, cleaning or inspecting the blade.
Inspect the saw blade before every use for cracked, chipped, missing or severely worn carbide teeth.
Never use a blade with a cracked, distorted or otherwise damaged steel body.
Install the blade in the correct rotational direction as indicated by the blade and machine markings.
Ensure the spindle, flange and blade-contact surfaces are clean and correctly seated before tightening the blade.
Use all blade guards, riving devices, KickbackStop components and other safety equipment specified for the TS 75 and the intended application.
Secure and support the workpiece properly so the cutting kerf cannot close unexpectedly and pinch the blade.
Maintain a stable stance and keep both hands in the intended operating positions while cutting.
Never twist or force the blade sideways through a cut.
Do not exceed the maximum rotational speed marked on the blade or specified by Festool.
Allow the blade to reach operating speed before entering the workpiece.
Keep hands and body parts away from the blade path and never reach beneath a workpiece while the saw is operating.
Wait until the blade has stopped completely before removing offcuts, making adjustments or placing the saw down.
Wood dust, MDF dust and dust from manufactured boards can be hazardous. Use suitable extraction and respiratory protection appropriate to the material being cut.
Have carbide saw blades sharpened or repaired only by suitably qualified professionals who can maintain the original tooth geometry and blade safety.
Read and follow the Festool TS 75 operating instructions, saw-blade safety instructions and applicable workplace safety requirements before use.
