2.Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the grain. 10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80 teeth, alternate top bevel or steep alternate top bevel tooth profiles, small hook angle and a shallow gullet. See Figure 33.

3.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, an alternate top bevel and flat or alternate top bevel and raker tooth profile. The teeth are arranged in groups of five. The gullets are small and shallow within the groups of five teeth, simi- lar to a cross-cut blade; then large and deep between the groups, like a ripping blade. See Figure 34.

4.Plywood Blade: Used for cutting plywood or veneers. A 10" plywood blade will have 40- 80 teeth, a steep alternate top bevel tooth profile and very shallow gullet. See Figure 35.
