This is a plunge saw blade designed for finish cutting, crosscuts, rip cuts, and guided sheet-good work. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003eB-57342\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are running a Makita cordless plunge circular saw and want a blade built to cut clean without giving up efficiency, this is the blade you start with.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat sets this blade apart is how the specs work together in real use. The 56-tooth count is aimed at cleaner cut quality than a rough framing blade, and the thin .057 inch kerf helps the saw move through material with less resistance. On a cordless plunge saw, less drag matters because it helps extend runtime and keeps the cut feeling controlled instead of labored.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMakita also gave this blade a fluorine coating to reduce pitch buildup. That matters when you are cutting plywood, MDF, or laminate over a full day and do not want resin and debris loading up the blade face. A cleaner blade keeps feed pressure more consistent and helps maintain cut quality longer between cleanings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe carbide tips are there for durability, but the plate design is what gives the blade a more precise feel. Makita calls out a fully hardened, expertly hand-tensioned steel saw plate for true cuts, plus laser-cut slots for less vibration and quieter cutting. In plain terms, that means the blade is built to stay steadier under load, which is exactly what you want when you are working off a guide rail and expecting straight, splinter-resistant cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis blade is sized for Makita's cordless 6-1\/2 inch plunge circular saw platform and uses a 20 mm arbor. The listed blade type is a max efficiency plunge saw blade, and the rated maximum speed is 9,250 RPM. That gives buyers the key fitment details up front, which is what really matters before you click buy on a saw blade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor application, this is not a general demolition blade and it is not trying to be. The Makita B-57342 6-1\/2 in. 56T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Cordless Plunge Saw Blade is built for cleaner woodworking cuts in sheet goods and finish materials where edge quality counts. It makes sense for cabinet installers, trim carpenters, remodelers, and serious DIY users cutting plywood, MDF panels, shelving stock, laminate-faced material, and other projects where a plunge saw and track system are the right answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMakita B-57342 6-1\/2 in. 56T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Cordless Plunge Saw Blade in Detail\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/50176055312678_adaa90b35357.jpg\" alt=\"Makita B-57342 6-1\/2 in. 56T Carbide-Tipped Max Efficiency Cordless Plunge Saw Blade product image showing the blade face, 20 mm arbor, and 56-tooth layout for plunge cutting wood, MDF, and laminate in shop or jobsite sheet-good work\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is tuned for the kind of work a plunge saw is actually bought for: straight, clean cuts in sheet materials and finish panels.
