Circular Saw Blades
Offering a wide range of professional grade quailty circular saws for all your wood cutting needs.
Circular Saw Blade Types
Circular Saw Blades come in a wide array of shapes and teeth sets, all used for specific cutting purposes. In some cases, it can also be dangerous to use the wrong blade for a specific cut. For example, do not use a ripping blade to make cross cuts, and vice versa. Below are the many varieties of woodworking circular saw blade types.
All-Purpose Blade
This blade is perfect for all-purpose wood cutting and general use for the majority of woodworking projects. You can expect this blade to have about 40-50 teeth with an alternating top bevel grind and also a somewhat deep gullet.
Combination Blade
Another solid blade for all-purpose wood cutting. You can find this blade with 50 teeth also but arranged in groups of 5 with deep gullets between clusters.
Crosscutting Blade
Aptly named, this blade’s purpose is to make crosscuts against the wood grain. To achieve this, the blade has more teeth and also a small gullet to make smoother cuts.
Dado Blade
This blade makes grooves, dadoes and also rabbet cuts in lumber.
Fine-Tooth Finish Blade
Extra smaller teeth for making extra smooth cuts.
Finish/Paneling Blade
This blade is for cutting panelling, veneer, plywood, laminates, and also plastics.
Hollow Ground Blade
These blades make smooth cuts on coated boards as well as extra fine crosscuts.
Plywood Blades
As you may guess, this blade’s design is to cut plywood. Built with many fine teeth, this helps for a better, and also cleaner cut of the board.
Ripping Blade
This blade has fewer teeth and is also for cutting parallel to the wood grain.
Thin Kerf Blade
For cutting dimensional lumber. The more teeth the better with this blade. Generally, a 10″ cross-cutting blade should then have roughly 60 to 80 teeth with an alternate top bevel grind.
