A saw blade for an angle grinder, equipped with a cutting edge with teeth, can be used when working with wood and wood-based materials.
This type of wheel for an angle grinder is capable of providing an even and clean cut of boards, plywood, parquet, laminate, fiberboard and chipboard.
In this review, we will consider the best models of saw blades for angle grinders, and will dwell on the criteria for choosing equipment of this type.

What to look for when choosing a saw blade for wood?
The key features that you should pay attention to when choosing a saw blade for an angle grinder are the following:
- External diameter of the equipment. The size of the wheel largely depends on the power of the angle grinder and the type of work being carried out. 12.5 cm discs are considered the most suitable for wood. A larger diameter increases productivity, but requires professionalism and increased safety measures.
- Internal (landing) diameter. For angle grinders it is standard - 22 mm. Otherwise, the disks can be installed through special adapter rings. Some equipment models may be equipped with this accessory.
- Disk type. Monolithic equipment is characterized by low cost, but requires periodic setting of teeth and sharpening. More durable carbide blades require little maintenance and provide clean cuts at any speed.
- Number of teeth. Cross cutting requires the use of discs with a large number of cutters - 60-90. Accordingly, longitudinal cuts are obtained better when using models with a small number of teeth.
- Rotational speed. High speed blades are suitable for working with dense and hard wood. The low-speed attachment is ideal for soft and sticky wood.
Chain saw blades for wood: advantages of use
In this case, the saw blade is made using a chain from a chainsaw. This attachment is the most suitable for working with wood, as it has the greatest efficiency. A chain disk for wood for an angle grinder is also considered the safest. The use of this attachment significantly reduces the likelihood of injury if the tool jams.
If the disk hits a hard element of wood during operation (for example, a knot), the chain is not destroyed. This happens by turning the base. Such attachments are very popular when it is necessary to strip a tree trunk of bark and knots.
Chain saw blades are considered the most suitable for working with wood
Wood saw blades for angle grinders with a chain are used for various types of work. With their help you can remove tree branches, as well as cut boards of small thickness. The functionality of chain products allows them to be used as roughing tools. They do an excellent job of removing bark.
Using a saw wheel, you can make an even cut of parquet boards, plywood, fiberboard, chipboard, as well as ordinary unedged and edged wooden products. It is important to remember that the thickness of the material that will be processed with such a nozzle should be no more than 4 cm. Otherwise, there is a high probability of the device overheating.
The best 125 mm wheels
Small-diameter equipment will do an excellent job with thin wood. 12.5 cm discs are recommended for use with corded and cordless angle grinders of compact sizes.

Unusual disc for an angle grinder for size 100/115
I came across (in the mailing list) an interesting disc for an angle grinder, I bought it to see what it was,
I won’t even say why I needed it - I was just wondering what it could do, I fell for the unusual appearance. Moreover, at the time of purchase, it cost almost twice as much - quite good price for experiments and report here
By the way, pay attention to the picture in the header - I looked at it for a long time - does it bother you? :)))) I didn’t notice the joke right away, was it difficult to take a photo as well?.. I’ll have to try
Here it is larger, from the store
Brain explosion...
It took quite a long time to travel without tracking. I received this blister. I immediately noticed the chain sticking out crookedly, I thought it was defective and I would have to “butt” with the store.
At the top of the blister there are examples of using this “gadget” for an angle grinder, for which the Chinese thought of using it
As I understand it, for the most part, for making sculptures from wood, ice, rubber and other soft materials. On the packaging there is an indication of the maximum rotation speed of 10000-13000, on the disk itself - 14000
The reverse side of the blister, with a warning that working with this disc is “life threatening”
I unpacked the disc with some unpleasant foreboding - the appearance was somehow “not very good”...
It turned out that I was worried in vain, the device turned out to be dismountable. It consists of three parts: two plates and a short chain. They are not fixed to each other in any way; they are held in place by being clamped with an angle grinder nut. The blue part is an “extra” part;) it was used to connect all the parts into a single whole during transportation.

Dishes
chain
In principle, it’s sharp, but the sharpening is kind of clumsy. If you wish, you can sharpen it yourself, this is of course important.
Putting everything together is quite simple. Place the chain on the bottom plate (the plates, by the way, are the same)
Place the second plate on top, adjusting the chain so that it is evenly distributed around the circle.
It is worth noting that the inner hole of the discs is smaller than the standard one used on cutting discs. Therefore, the lower plate rests on the centering bead on the lower washer “at random”
Centering occurs with an inverted nut tightening the disk. However, it is not possible to tighten it completely, because... The thickness of the sandwich is decent. Perhaps it makes sense to increase the size to the “standard” on the lower plate yourself
The depth of cut depends on the design of your angle grinder, I assume there may be a difference on different grinders
To work with the resulting device, I highly recommend wearing whatever protection you have. The rotation speed of the angle grinder is quite decent, and if the chain breaks (it hits a nail), I can’t imagine the consequences. Before turning it on for the first time, I would put on a helmet if I had it at hand :))))
It is necessary to tighten the disk well with the nut, otherwise, if the chain is not tightened tightly, when stopping/restarting it may be dislodged from the plates by centrifugal force.
This happened to me the very first time; when tightening, I probably didn’t lay the chain quite correctly (evenly) in a circle.
When installed correctly, the top plate drops a couple of mm and holds the chain quite tightly. In principle, nothing terrible happened, but the sensations were still unpleasant
During the testing process, I became completely bolder and did all the work by weight - in fact, it’s actually quite comfortable to work with.
Well, the test results - what I could come up with on the fly. Since I’m not a sculptor at all, I limited myself to a few different cuts...
Simple sawing - goes like clockwork.
you can make a groove for a tenon or a through hole
Cutting depth
you can make a selection, but it turns out not very convenient and productive
If you make side cuts for tenoning, it is possible to connect the boards with tenons in the manner of a floorboard or lining
And another “household” use - making stakes from vampires (there really wasn’t any aspen on hand
Seriously though, sawing not very thick twigs and branches after pruning trees turns out to be quite comfortable. I use similar “firewood” from peaches and other fruit trees in the grill.
Well, personal impressions of the purchase:
Perhaps a very convenient device for all kinds of wood and ice sculptors, due to the low weight of the tool.
At the time of publication, it is not available on Banguda, but there are options on Ali - for example, here is the link (I couldn’t find a cheaper one)
