Is it better to have a thin or thick saw blade for woodworking?

It depends on the situation
‌The thickness of woodworking saw blades should be determined according to the specific cutting requirements and material characteristics. There is no absolute good or bad distinction. The following are key influencing factors and suggestions: ‌

‌Material thickness‌

‌Cutting thin materials‌ (such as thin wood boards, ecological boards): ultra-thin saw blades are preferred. Thin saw blades have narrow saw paths, which can reduce material loss, improve cutting efficiency and save costs.
‌Cutting thick materials‌ (such as thick wood boards, hardwood): It is recommended to use thicker conventional saw blades. Thick saw blades are more rigid and not easy to deform at high speeds, which can ensure cutting stability and saw blade life.
‌Cutting stability and quality‌

Thick saw blades have a stronger base, which can reduce vibration during cutting, avoid edge collapse, blackening and other problems, and are suitable for scenes requiring high precision (such as veneer boards, paint-free boards).
Ultra-thin saw blades are more efficient in scenes with low cutting resistance, but excessive pursuit of thinness may cause deflection and uneven saw paths, which need to be adjusted in combination with equipment performance.
‌Cost and loss balance‌

Thin saw blades save materials, but long-term cutting of thick materials is prone to deformation due to friction overheating, which increases the frequency of replacement; thick saw blades have slightly higher material loss, but longer life.
‌Special scenario supplement‌

When grooving or leveling the bottom of the groove, flat tooth or combined tooth saw blades can be used.
When cutting laminates and other materials that are prone to edge collapse, it is recommended to use ladder flat tooth saw blades to improve surface quality.
In summary, companies can flexibly respond to different processing needs and balance efficiency and cost by configuring multi-specification saw blade solutions from brands such as Bonner Saw Industry.
