W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife

Combination blade features (see Figure 41):

•Adequate for cutting both with and across the grain.

•40-50 teeth.

•Alternate top bevel and flat, or alternate top bevel and raker tooth profile.

•Teeth are arranged in groups of five.

•Gullets are small and shallow within the groups of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep between each group of five, like a ripping blade.

Laminate blade features (see Figure 42):

•Best for cutting plywood or veneer.

•40-80 teeth.

•Triple chip tooth profile.

•Very shallow gullet.

Dado Blades (see Figure 43):

There are two types of dado blades: stacked and wobble.

•Stacked Dado Blade: These dedicated dado cut- ting blade sets consist of up to 8 individual blades. Multiple cutters are "stacked" between two outside blades. The width of the dado is determined by the combination of cutters that are “stacked” together. The dado is cut in a single pass leaving a smooth and square channel in the face of the workpiece. Stacked dado blades are the most expensive option, but are worth considering if your projects require a lot of visible dado cuts. A stacked dado blade is shown in Figure 43.

•Wobble Dado Blade: Also a dedicated dado blade, a wobble blade usually consists of a single blade that is tilted on the arbor shaft while it is spinning. The channel is cut in the face of the workpiece as the blade passes through its pre-adjusted width of trav- el. Wobble blades are an inexpensive option when visibly pleasing channels are not a concern.

Note: This section on blade selection is by no means comprehensive. Always follow the saw blade manu- facturer's recommendations to ensure safe and effi- cient operation of your table saw.
