Notes
	ATB: Alternate Top Bevel. The ATB type blade slices through wood fibers,
	first on one side and then on the other for clean cuts in natural and
	manmade materials.
	TCG: Triple Chip Grind. The TCG type blade is designed to cut through hard
	materials. The trapezoidal tooth cuts the center of the kerf and the flat
	raker tooth cuts the edges. This type of blade design is more resistant to
	dulling.
	26-a Bevel Angle: All of the ATB-type blades shown above have a bevel
	angle of 15°. This moderate bevel angle provides good chip-free cutting
	without rapidly dulling.
	26-b Hook Angle: The higher the hook angle, the more the tooth grabs the
	material and pulls it into the cut. Ripping blades have a very high hook
	angle to cut aggressively. Lower hook angles are used for harder
	materials where greater control is needed.
	Tooth Count: The more teeth a blade has, the smoother it will cut. Conversely,
	blades with fewer teeth cut more aggressively.
