What is an 80 tooth saw blade used for?
This blade is excellent for projects such as cutting fine molding and double-sided veneered plywood for cabinets and furniture.
Number of Teeth
Generally, blades with more teeth will provide a smoother, finer cut whereas blades with fewer teeth will provide a rougher cut. The benefit of fewer teeth is faster cutting and a lower price. For most construction work, a 24-tooth general use blade is sufficient.
Framing blades have 24 teeth and are effective for jobs such as rough carpentry, where speed is more important than getting a clean cut. Plywood blades have 100 or more fine teeth designed to create a finish with minimal splintering.
This saw blade has 40 teeth for a fine finish that is perfect for cutting hardwoods, softwoods, plywood and many more. The blade creates a clean finish when cutting and leaves it chip free for less sanding.
Cuts fine molding, hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, melamine and more.
Excellent for use in cutting softwoods, hardwoods, density board, plywood, shaving board, and wood composites. Good toughness and wear resistance, suitable for high speed cutting, bearing a heavy cutting force and achieving good surface finish.
The general rule of thumb is:
For wood and soft materials aim for 3 – 6 teeth in the workpiece. For metals and harder materials aim for 6 – 24 teeth in the workpiece.
A crosscut blade, on the other hand, is designed to produce a smooth cut across the grain of the wood, without splintering or tearing. This type of blade will usually have 60 to 80 teeth, and the higher tooth count means that each tooth has to remove less material.
60-Tooth blade produces a remarkably clean, chip-free cut that requires little to no sanding. Ideal for crosscutting oak, pine, melamine, veneer plywood and delicate molding.
Generally, the higher the amount of saw blade teeth, the better the quality of cut and finishing. If you're looking for a faster and rougher cut, then a blade with fewer teeth will be more suitable.
What is a 90 tooth saw blade used for?
Cuts fine molding, hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, melamine and more.
Number Of Teeth
In general, blades with more teeth yield a smoother cut, and blades with fewer teeth remove material faster. A 10" blade designed for ripping lumber, for example, usually has as few as 24 teeth and is designed to quickly remove material along the length of the grain.
x 140-Tooth OSB/Plywood Circular Saw Blade has a high tooth count designed for clean cuts in oriented-strand board (OSB) and plywood. This high-quality steel blade is an economical choice that's well suited for household DIY projects and construction.
