Sawing
Circular saw blades (PCD and TCT)
Hardened steel plate bodies with brazed TCT or PCD teeth. The plate is matched on diameter and thickness, the teeth are priced and packed, and the blade comes back with a drawing and, for PCD, a tip nest.
How you configure it
The parameters that define the part
A circular saw blades (pcd and tct) configurator is a schema of parameters and your own formulas. Declare the values a request fills in, and the price follows from them.
Blade and plate
The blade diameter, bore and plate thickness fix the body, matched from your plate pool, with the kerf set by the teeth.
Teeth and form
TCT or PCD teeth, the tooth count, the tooth form such as ATB or TCG and the hook angle, each driving the grind and braze time.
Bore and slots
A plain or pinned bore, a pin pattern and any expansion slots, with an optional coating, all priced through your own rates.
Priced to how it is made
Every price shows its build up
The price is built from how the part is made, never a single opaque number. Every rate below is an illustrative starting default you edit; nothing here is Kabaido pricing advice.
250 mm · 30 mm bore · 60 teeth · ATB form · TCT tips · 2.2 mm plate
- Plate body
- The nearest plate at or above the diameter and thickness, matched from your stock pool, then laser cut to the bore and slots.
- Teeth
- TCT tips matched by size, or PCD tips packed to your kerf, on your own per tooth rates.
- Braze and grind
- Braze and tooth grind time per tooth, plus tensioning, on your own rates.
- Setup
- Your setup cost, spread across the batch quantity.
Lead time 10 days. Modelled from the seeded preset, for illustration only.
Matched from your stock
Priced from what you hold
A configured price is only as good as what stands behind it. Kabaido prices from the stock you hold and asks when it does not know.
- Stock matching
- The plate is matched on diameter and thickness from your stock pool. A rule blocks a bore over 40 per cent of the blade diameter before it is quoted, and for PCD blades the tip layout packs to your kerf and exports as a nest.
- Reserved when the order lands
- Ordering a configured product reserves the matched stock, so the item you priced is the one set aside. Low stock raises a banner before it bites.
- It asks rather than guesses
- When a request leaves a parameter open, Kabaido asks a clarification instead of inventing a value. Missing means a question, not a guess.
CAD import
Bring your CAD and let it autofill
This category accepts DXF bore pattern or tooth profile. Import a file to autofill the inputs and as a reference, computed deterministically in your browser.
Export from the CAD you already run, then drop the file on the configurator. A 3D solid autofills the bounding box, the volume and the surface area; a 2D profile supplies the cut length, the pierce count and the material area, and is drawn to scale on the run. The figures fill the inputs, and you confirm or correct them before anything is priced, so the import is autofill and reference, never a guess.
STEP files (.step or .stp), STL (.stl), DXF (.dxf) and DWG (.dwg) are read today. IGES and Parasolid are on the roadmap. The analysis runs in your browser, so only the derived numbers and a file hash travel with the run; the model stays on your machine until you choose to attach it. The full behaviour lives in Configure.

Documents
The drawing and the work order
A configured line carries its paperwork. Two documents come off every run, so the part is quoted and made on the same figures.
The engineering drawing
A dimensioned 2D drawing of the configured part, generated from the same parameters that priced it. It travels with the line onto the quote PDF, the email and the customer portal.
The production work order
A work order for the shop floor that lists the matched stock, the operations and the parameters, so the part is made to the figures it was quoted on.
Applications and materials
What it cuts and what it is made from
Circular saw blades (PCD and TCT) lean on these knowledge packs, so the request is read into structured values across the materials and applications they touch.
Tipped circular saw blades cut where the workpiece sets the tooth: TCT blades for timber, board, aluminium and plastics, PCD blades for abrasive composites, laminates and aluminium where edge life matters. The tooth count, form and hook angle is a different choice for each, and the configurator keeps those choices yours to set.
The cutting, materials and coatings knowledge packs sit beneath the work, so a request that names a tooth form by its initials, a kerf in millimetres or a board material is read into the structured values the price needs.
Cutting
Cutting tools and blades, read across coatings, flutes, teeth and lengths.
Materials
Bar, plate and grades with condition and the certificates that ship.
Coatings
Coatings by type and thickness, with strip and recoat understood.
Servicing
And serviced when it comes back
The work does not end at the first sale. These service templates seed with the category, each priced through the same engine as a quote.
- Saw blade sharpening and retipping
- A dull blade is sharpened, or a missing tooth retipped, priced per tooth through the same engine as a new blade.
Questions
The detail, answered
- TCT tips are matched by size and brazed; PCD tips are packed to your kerf and cost from the diamond up, then EDM finished. Both build on the matched plate and your own per tooth rates.
- Yes. The PCD tip layout packs to your kerf and packing efficiency and exports as a nest, so the cut file is ready alongside the price.
- A rule blocks a bore over 40 per cent of the blade diameter before it is quoted, so a blade that cannot hold together is caught rather than priced.
