Blade Selection
Choosing the correct blade for the job is essential
for the safe and efficient use of your table saw.
Rip Blade: Used for cutting with the grain. 10" rip
blades have between 20-40 teeth ( Figure 24 ),
flat-top ground tooth profile ( Figure 29 ) and large
gullets to allow for large chip removal.

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
(
Figure 26 ), an alternate top bevel and flat or
alternate top bevel ( Figure 29 ) and raker tooth
profile. The teeth are arranged in groups of five.
The gullets are small and shallow within the
groups of five teeth, similar to a cross-cut blade;
then large and deep between the groups, like a
ripping blade.

Cross-cut Blade: Used for cutting across the
grain. 10" cross-cut blades have between 60-80
teeth (
Figure 25 ), alternate top bevel or steep
alternate top bevel tooth profiles ( Figure 29 ),
small hook angle and a shallow gullet.
