RACE - 12 Tooth Demolition Blade, 12"

The RACE 12-Tooth Demolition Blade is engineered for aggressive cutting of heavy roofing materials and demolition tasks. Its carbide-tipped teeth are brazed to a heat-treated core to deliver durability and strength. The blade is designed to handle a variety of materials including membrane, asphalt, wood, and embedded nails.

Key features:

• Carbide-tipped 12 tooth design for demolition use
• Heat treated core with 45 Rockwell hardness rating 
• Thick carbide tips extend beyond core to prevent binding
• Suitable for both wet and dry cutting 
• Cuts membrane, roofing, wood, and nails

• Diameter: 12″ 
• Number of teeth: 12 
• Cutting compatibility: membrane, tarred roofing, asphalt shingles, wood, drywall, plywood, tree roots, branches 
• Hardness: core heat treated to 45 Rockwell 
• Tip strength: carbide can withstand 305,000 psi 
• Cutting modes: suitable for wet or dry

Q: What type of arbor size or saw compatibility should I verify before mounting this blade?
A: Confirm your machine’s arbor diameter, bore size, maximum RPM and whether the blade’s designation (12" diameter, 12-tooth) matches the saw manufacturer’s approved cutting parameters.

Q: Why does this blade only have 12 teeth, and what effect does that have on performance?
A: A low tooth count blade like this is optimized for high-material-removal rate such as demolition—fewer, larger teeth clear faster through roofing layers, tar and embedded nails but will have a rougher finish and higher feed resistance.

Q: Are there specific safety considerations when using a demolition-type blade on roofing or construction materials?
A: Yes—demolition blades can generate higher kickback forces, require full guarding, proper operator stance, secure workpieces and attention to the manufacturer’s machine rating to mitigate risk.

Q: How can I extend the useful life of this carbide-tipped demolition blade in harsh jobsite conditions?
A: Avoid side-loading or twisting the blade, remove build-up of tar or asphalt after each shift, run the blade at its recommended speed, ensure proper coolant/wet-dry usage if allowed, and store it flat or hung to prevent warping.
