Diablo 16-5/16 Inch Beam Saw Blade 60 Tooth Fine Finish 1 Inch Arbor D1660X for Makita Timber Framing and Large Capacity Cuts

Precision Timber Framing: Diablo 16-5/16 Inch Fine Finish Beam Saw Blade for Large Capacity Cuts

Elevate your heavy-duty framing projects with the Diablo D1660X 16-5/16 Inch Fine Finish Saw Blade. Specifically engineered for the immense demands of large capacity beam saws, such as the Makita® 5402NA, this blade is the ultimate accessory for professional timber framers and log home builders. Unlike standard blades that struggle with thick stock, this Diablo blade is optimized to slice cleanly through massive headers, posts, and engineered lumber including LVL, Glulams, and Parallams. With a cutting capacity of up to 6-1/4 inches at 90 degrees, it transforms difficult beam work into precise, manageable cuts.

The D1660X features Diablo's proprietary TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide, delivering a razor-sharp edge that withstands the heat and abrasion of cutting dense hardwoods and glue-rich engineered beams. The 60-tooth Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) geometry ensures a smooth, fine finish, reducing the need for sanding or secondary cleanup on exposed beams. Protected by the industry-leading Perma-SHIELD® non-stick coating, this blade resists heat buildup, gumming, and corrosion, ensuring it glides through timber with minimal friction. Whether you are framing a custom home or cutting retaining wall landscape ties, this blade provides the durability and accuracy required for structural excellence.

Key Features

• Beam Saw Optimization: Designed specifically for large circular saws to handle heavy timber and beam cutting applications.
• TiCo™ Hi-Density Carbide: Specialized carbide blend maximizes performance and edge retention in thick wood and engineered lumber.
• Perma-SHIELD® Coating: Non-stick red coating protects the blade from heat, corrosion, and pitch buildup for smoother cuts.
• Thin Kerf Design: Laser-cut thin kerf (.114") reduces the load on the saw motor and minimizes material waste.
• Shock Resistant Brazing: Tri-metal brazing allows carbide tips to withstand extreme impact, ensuring maximum durability.
• Hardened Steel Body: Precision-flat steel plate guarantees stability and accurate cuts throughout the life of the blade.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: When cutting thick engineered lumber like Glulams or LVL, clean the blade frequently with a resin remover. Despite the non-stick coating, the high glue content in these beams can eventually build up on the teeth, causing friction and reducing cut quality. Keeping the teeth clean ensures your expensive beam saw runs cooler and lasts longer.
