Flat Top Grind (FT).
Generally, for
cutting material with grain.Larger
gullets on this type blade accept
greater chip loads;permit higher
feed rates.Excellent for ripping on
either single or multi rip machines
where speed of cut is more impor-
tant than quality of cut.Teeth with
square or flat top shape act as
chisels, cutting material with chis-
el-like action.Also serve as rakers
to clean out the cuttings or chips.
Triple Chip & Flat Grind (TC&F).
Two shapes of teeth—alternate
triple-edge and flat top design for
dual action cutting.Triple-edge
teeth chip down center of kerf;flat
top raker teeth follow to clean out
material from both sides.TC&F
blades with negative hook angle
are recommended for cutting non-
ferrous metals.Negative hook
angle prevents climbing;gives you
total control over the feed rate.
Alternate Top Bevel & Raker
(ATB&R).
Excellent for cutting
operations both with and/or across
the grain.Achieves a fairly high
level of quality over wide range of
cuts.Two sets of shearing-action
alternate left and right top bevel
teeth followed by a raking action
flat top tooth with large round gul-
let to facilitate chip removal.
Alternate Top Bevel Grind (ATB).
For across the grain cutting and/or
cut-off and trimming operations on
undefined grain work.Top bevel
shaped teeth sever the material
with shearing action alternately left
and right.Given a choice, the ATB
blade with the higher number of
teeth will produce the higher quali-
ty of finish cut.

Select the right blade with the appropriate tooth design for the material to be cut on your particular job!

To use the chart below:First refer to the proper machinery section. Next, find the blade with the highest rating under the material column that
best applies to your work.If you are looking for a general purpose blade, look for consistent ratings under the materials you work with most.
Or—refer to the far right hand column for the best finish rating for type of cut.
