Blades
Professionals know that you
 need to match the design of the saw
blade to the material being cut, and the operation being performed.
Bladesshouldbedesignedforcuttingefficiency,long‐life,andsuperior 
cutting results.Variable tooth spacing, laser expansion slots, large
arbor holes, and properly tensioned bl ade blanks all reduce vibration
and
resultincleanercuts.
For best results, use blades that incorporate fine‐grain tungsten
carbide tips, as they are robust, sharpen nicely, and wear well under the toughest conditions.Some
manufacturers color code their blades to make choosing the right blade for the job easier.While a
