Blade Selection

Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential for the safe and efficient use of your table saw.

Rip Blade: Used for cutting with the grain. 10" rip blades have between 20-40 teeth (Figure 24), flat-top ground tooth profile (Figure 29) and large gullets to allow for large chip removal.

Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the grain. 10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80 teeth (Figure 25), alternate top bevel or steep alternate top bevel tooth profiles (Figure 29), small hook angle and a shallow gullet.

Combination Blade: Used for cutting with and across the grain. A compromise between a rip blade and a cross-cut blade, a 10" combination blade will typically have between 40-50 teeth (Figure 26), an alternate top bevel and flat or alternate top bevel (Figure 29) and raker tooth profile. The teeth are arranged in groups of five. The gullets are small and shallow within the groups of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep between the groups, like a ripping blade.
