What types of materials can a General Purpose Woodcutting Saw Blade handle?

A General Purpose Woodcutting Blade is designed to handle a wide range of wood materials. It can efficiently cut through softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, and MDF and provides a balance of speed and finish. For cutting specialized materials like laminates or metal, a different blade is best to ensure safe, accurate cuts and achieve the best results.

What is a 0° hook angle saw blade, and when should I use a blade with it?

A 0° hook angle on a saw blade means the teeth are set perpendicular to the blade surface, creating a neutral cutting position that minimizes forward pull. This blade type allows for controlled, precise cuts, making it ideal for delicate materials like laminates or thin, fragile pieces. It’s also especially suited to machines where safety and control are crucial, like Radial Arm Saws. On a Radial Arm Saw, a 0° hook angle blade enhances safety by preventing “self-feeding,” where the blade pulls toward the operator. This blade reduces kickback risk and makes steady, accurate cuts.

How important is the number of teeth on a saw blade?

The number of teeth on a saw blade impacts the cut’s quality and speed. Blades with fewer teeth cut faster but can leave rougher edges, making them ideal for ripping through wood quickly. Blades with more teeth provide a finer, smoother cut, which is better for finishing work, such as crosscutting hardwood or cutting laminate surfaces.

What's the difference between general purpose and fine cutting blades?

General purpose blades are designed for versatility, handling a range of materials with decent speed and quality. They balance tooth count and design to suit both ripping and crosscutting tasks. Fine cutting blades have more teeth and specialized grinds to produce smooth, precise edges. This is especially important for finish carpentry or working with delicate materials. Choose a fine cutting blade when a high-quality finish is essential.
