This blade covers the panel types used in anti-static environments: all-steel anti-static raised access floors, calcium sulfate anti-static floors and OA network floors. They behave differently under a saw — a steel-skinned panel loads the teeth hard at the surface, while a calcium sulfate core is softer but more abrasive along the cut — and one anti-static raised floor saw blade is specified to handle all three. A crew can therefore carry a single blade type through a mixed project instead of swapping between a metal-cutting blade and a panel blade, and there is no second blade to source when the panel schedule changes.

As a raised access flooring supplier, we cover a complete system rather than single items: pedestals and stringers, antistatic PVC and HPL tiles, PVC skirting, panel lifters and cutting blades, air diffusers, brush grommets, flip outlet boxes and in-floor cooling units. Our structural components suit OA, steel, wood core, calcium sulphate and aluminium raised floors, with pedestal heights from 70 to 1500 mm. Specifications such as stringer size and thickness can be customised to your project, so contractors can source compatible components, installation tools and cooling accessories from one supplier for data center, computer room and commercial fit-outs.
Yes — it is made for both. A raised floor panel cutting blade has to work in whichever saw a crew already owns, so the same blade fits jigsaws and reciprocating saws. Blade clamping differs between machines, so send us the make and model of your saw when you order and we will confirm the fit before dispatch.
No, one blade covers both, along with OA network floors. Raised floor installation into a steel-skinned panel loads the teeth harder at the surface, while a calcium sulfate core is softer but more abrasive along the cut, so technique matters more than blade choice: keep the feed light and let the teeth do the work. Tell us your panel build and we will confirm this blade is the right match.
Yes. The bimetal body flexes slightly through a tight radius, so the blade can follow a curved outline for a grommet, airflow panel or corner notch without wandering off the line. Work around small radii slowly and let the teeth cut rather than pushing the blade, because heat is what dulls an edge and burns the panel face. Long straight trims run faster than tight curves.
In many retrofit jobs, yes — crews open one tile at a time in a live room and need to cut it in place. Support the panel edges so it does not flex under the saw, keep the cut shallow near a pedestal head or stringer, and clear swarf from the void before the tile goes back. For deep or complex shapes, lifting the panel onto a bench usually gives a cleaner edge.
Keep blades flat in their packaging with the tooth edge protected, rather than loose in a tool bag where teeth can chip against other tools. A light wipe removes adhesive residue after a session and keeps the anti-stick surface working. Store them dry, and check the edge before each job — a chipped tooth is what starts a ragged cut and forces the blade off line.
This blade is specified for all-steel anti-static raised access floors, calcium sulfate anti-static floors and OA network floors. Wood-core and aluminium panels are different substrates, so tell us the panel build before ordering and we will confirm whether this blade suits it or recommend another. If a project mixes panel types, list them and we will match the blade selection to each area.
