•Plywood blades (Figure 36) have a large number of teeth, have a thin kerf and create exceptionally smooth cuts. As the name implies, these types of blades are excellent for fine plywood and also for cutting bevels, rabbets or compound miters. The drawback to this type of blade is the great amount of heat produced from the many teeth. These blades should not be used for heavy ripping or cutting thick stock.

•Dado blades come in three different types: stack dadoes, wobble dodoes, and V-dadoes. Dado blades allow the operator to change kerf sizes and to make quick and easy non-through cuts. Dado blades are primarily designed for making dado and rabbet cuts. The drawback to these type of blades are their high cost. Figure 37 shows a stack dado blade.

Do not use dado blades for through cuts. They are not designed for through cuts and may cause minor to moderate personal injury when misused.

Tooth Configuration is another important aspect of blade design. There are four main types: flat-top grind for fast heavy-duty ripping; alternate-top bevel for reduced-heat, tear-out free cuts, and ripping/cutting; alternate-top bevel and raker for solid and plywood, good all-around, but not for fine joinery; and triple-chip grind for cutting hardwoods as well as plastics, particle board and alumi- num. Figure 38 shows these configurations, along with their respective kerf profiles.

2.Block the blade with a piece of scrap wood, as shown in Figure 39, and remove the arbor nut and flange.

3.Remove the existing blade.

4.Install the new blade, flange, and arbor nut, mak- ing sure that the teeth of the blade point toward the front of the saw.
