What it is
Oregon’s universal 3-tooth blade (part 295494-0) is 255 mm across and 1.4 mm thick, in hardened steel rated 42–48 HRC, painted bright red so it’s easy to spot. A 20 mm aluminium adaptor is included for machines with a 20 mm arbor. It was sold by Amazon when we checked in October 2026.
What it’s for
The listing describes it for soft grass, brambles, weeds and dense vegetation. Three teeth bite into stems better than a 2-tooth grass blade, and the 255 mm size is what most mid-size petrol and powerful cordless brush cutters are rated for. For finger-thick saplings, use a toothed saw blade; for heavy clearing on big machines, a thicker 300 mm mulching blade is sturdier.
Fitting and safety
Fit it only to a brush cutter rated for a 255 mm metal blade, with the correct guard, thrust washer and nut — usually a left-hand thread (how to fit a brush cutter blade). Keep the teeth sharp and evenly filed so the blade stays balanced (how to sharpen, how to balance). Cut with the left side of the blade to avoid kickback (kickback explained).
