Carbide saw blades built for sharpeners. Sold by one.

Popular Machinery & Tools, Inc. of San Antonio, Texas has made carbide-tipped circular saw blades since 1989 (its Taiwanese parent since 1980) and is one of the largest saw blade companies in the U.S. It controls the whole manufacturing process, stocks over 140,000 blades across five regional warehouses, is a member of the International Saw and Knife Association, and sells only through saw sharpeners and machinery manufacturers — never direct.

Popular Tools stocks the catalog in San Antonio, High Point and Columbus and ships orders received by 2:30 PM the same day by UPS Ground; we also keep the most common sizes in Cape Coral.

Yes. Any Popular Tools blade can be re-bored to your exact specification — bore diameter, pinholes and keyways — typically in 1 to 5 days depending on quantity and complexity. The fee depends on size, pinholes and keyway; 22"–32" blades are re-bored to 1", 1 1/8", 1 1/4" or 1 3/8" at no charge. A blade that has been re-bored cannot be returned for credit.

Popular Tools replaces saws with defects in materials or workmanship; damage from misuse is not covered, and the warranty is void once a blade has been reground elsewhere or had its face polished to remove the Popular Tools logo. Unused, unmodified blades in the original package may be returned within 90 days of invoice with prior authorization; re-bored, reground, etched or inscribed blades cannot be returned.

ATB (alternate top bevel) is the all-round choice for natural wood with or against the grain. TCG (triple chip) wears slower in plywood, chipboard, MDF and is the standard for non-ferrous metal and solid surface. FTG (flat top) is the fastest rip tooth. HATB slices double-sided laminates without chipping. LR and LRLRS give the finest finish on veneer, plywood and trim. ATB+R combination groups rip and crosscut with one blade.

Yes — Family Hardware runs a CNC carbide saw blade sharpening service in Cape Coral with mail-in service nationwide. Popular sells only through sharpeners for exactly this reason: we grind your blade back to its original geometry so it cuts like new, many times over.
